The radicalization of the American right is THE story of US politics over the last four decades and political reporters are still not allowed to talk about it

For nearly a decade, since Election Day 2016, the media and politicians have had a choice: Recognize that we were in a crisis like no other in our lifetimes, or pretend that we aren't. Nearly all politicians, and too many in the media, have chosen the latter.

I’d go further—not even “not reflect” but “actively erases.” I recall reading abt how Dylann Roof was a “self-radicalized” lone-wolf mass murderer, as if he wasn’t marinated in a toxic media environment of racist hate and grievance. That’s a willful erasure of these violent politics.

The Minnesota assassinations, the attempted arson at Governor Shapiro's home, and the violent arrest of Senator Padilla are all straight out of the Jim Crow terrorism playbook. Same goes with cops aiming for journalists covering the ICE protests. None of these are new tactics, just a new iteration.

From a dear comrade who was kind enough to let me share their video. Veterans stage a sit-in on the US Capitol steps and say, “Military off our streets!” Hell yeah!

“Becker argues that the only way to break free of these visions is to see them for what they are: a convenient excuse to continue destroying the environment, skirt regulations, amass more power and control, and dismiss the very real problems of today to focus on the imagined ones of tomorrow.”

I like my occasional fridge cleaning because it reminds me that food doesn't need my help transforming into something that smells terrible, it can do it solo if left to its own devices in a jar. All I add to proceedings is speed and hubris

Also cannot be emphasized enough: Barack Obama successfully negotiated the shutdown of Iran's nuclear program. It exists today because Trump deliberately tore up that agreement. The deaths happening right now can be laid at his door.

Democrats in Washington should unite in doing whatever is in their power to bring this government to a screeching halt over this.

The same way that Gavin Newsom is making hay right now for simply standing up for California against Fed overreach, it sure seems like a national media org could do huge numbers by simply telling the truth about the current state of things. (I guess that's why they're all billionaire-owned, tho)

One of the coolest features of the Agami Heron is its gorgeous, flowing crest that flutters as it poses and preens. But I've never seen it up close before with the details and textures. #CostaRica #herons #nature #birds

At some point congressional Dems are going to have to start pushing the constitutional remedies available for Congress in the event of executive overreach. I don't know what "standing with" David Huerta means but it's thin gruel compared to starting impeachment proceedings like the need to.

During this unseasonably hot week, call MultCo commissioners to prevent them from gutting MultCo's climate expertise. The County Sustainability Department is irreplaceable. Moyer's idea to somehow replace this dept of experts by incorporating "sustainability" into other depts is ludicrous.

if Thunberg is brave enough to repeatedly put herself directly in harm’s way, then journalists can be brave enough to say that a civilian vessel was illegally seized in international waters, and its crew abducted

This is a correct take. In a country with a properly-functioning Congress, this would be Article 1 of a bill of impeachment.

This is of course a much broader point than just this, but this is precisely the reason Democratic leadership has been morally bankrupt since they sold their soul to Clintonian triangulation in the 90s

Political imagination is a moral responsibility. Those who cannot imagine that justice is possible will make peace with the unjust and contort themselves in their defense.
