Since 2011 or so, Hungary has been what is known as a “hybrid regime”—not a totalitarian dictatorship, but not a real democracy, either. Is the same thing happening in the U.S.? nyer.cm/YxWG7w0

YES!!

Pete Buttigieg going on right wing platforms and not giving an inch is a million times more productive than Gavin Newsom inviting right wingers to his platform and letting them walk all over him.

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative. A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

Raw truth 👇

It is in NO way inappropriate for the people to work passionately and mercilessly to remove the powers wielded so amorally and mercilessly by the oligarchs against us. What better way to fight them than to destroy their wealth at every turn? No mercy, no quarter given. They win otherwise.

@maddow.msnbc.com - why can’t your network simply stay with Senator Booker as he wraps up his amazing, historic speech? Was the top priority here to return to the network’s normal cast of characters and patter? This was an inspiring moment, yet MSNBC couldn’t help but detract from it. Sad.

NYU canceled a planned speech by the former president of Doctors Without Borders because she planned to discuss the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and cuts to US AID. This is what actual campus censorship looks like.

John Keker of Keker, Van Nest & Peters’ message to big firms wavering or scared: Stand up. Don’t just be scared for yourself—be scared for the entire situation, for the rule of law, and for the role of lawyers in this democracy.

NASA dropped plans to put the first woman on the moon. DEI RIGHT?!?! Anyone wanna guess which administration originally planned the first woman on the moon? Hint: he smells bad mostly

The Gulf of America is the empty space between Trump supporters' ears.

Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished

I beg you, please. I can't make this any more clear for you.

Remember when you were a kid in elementary school studying history and thought: how could people have been so ridiculous back then? Well...

Me: I can’t believe UK voters chose to torch their economy with Brexit. That can never be topped. American voters:

“for fuck̦’s sake, we all saw what we saw” Right on, Jeff! These men believe they can fool enough of us to allow them to continue to destroy/rebuild the republic to allow them to rule without opposition.
