A “shift” never happened. A chaotic raid at a worksite and a warrantless sweep in our communities have the same outcome. Bullshit rhetoric aside, they’re hunting us down while we’re trying to feed you. Who’s actually in charge?

New York magazine publishing a cover story about Israel's war crimes in Gaza seems like a pretty strong indication that the liberal pro-Israel consensus is gone and never coming back: nymag.com/intelligence...

'A Saudi journalist who was arrested in 2018 and convicted on terrorism & treason charges has been executed. Activist groups maintain the charges against him were [T]rumped up.' Donald Trump really has co-opted that word. On his recent fawning over MBS? Just proudly reppin' the Stars & Stripes, no?

If the United States is preparing to join a direct attack on Tehran, that is madness. If we aren’t, publicly signalling that we are likely to is also madness.

Dear the @latimes.com: She did not deport herself; govts deport, expelling foreigners back to the country from which they came. What this poor LA mother did, after 36 years in this country, was run. "South LA mother chooses to return to Mexico rather than risk dangers of Trump crackdown." Fixed.

I don’t want anyone fighting for my future who can walk away unscathed if shit goes bad. I want someone who knows the urgency of the moment, and whose only option is to live with the consequences like so many of us. I want the class war, prolonged by rich men with lifetime power, to end.

"[H]e needs to apologize. I really think he should take that post down." Senator Tina Smith of Minnesota. Gee, Senator Mike Lee of Utah must still be shaking from that nicer-than-a-PTA dustup. We really are sharpening the knives. Talk about getting tough and holding Trump's Nazis to account...

🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands. Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

GMA did a segment with David Muir showing off his biceps in front of a giant poster of David Muir showing off his biceps…in a helicopter. To paraphrase Succession: These are not serious people.

If you are too young to remember the Iraq War, you'll hear "no one protested" and "no one knew they were lying." Millions of people knew they were lying and protested. The press not only did not want a record of mass dissent; they did not want a record of mass knowledge of lies.

By gaining the presidency for a 2nd go, this time w/ the Supreme Court having anointed him king, Donald Trump is merely executing from the Putin playbook as he walks away, and as his family & friends walk away, with Uncle Sam's version of the Putin Prize—the spoils of all of America. Us? That's TBD.

Walz: "This CANNOT be the norm. It cannot be the way that we deal with our political differences. Now's the time for us to recommit to the core values of this country. And each and every one of us can do it. Talk to a neighbor rather than arguing. Debate an issue. Shake hands. Find common ground."

These were political killings, incited by the President of the United States. Today, Donald Trump called Governor Walz a "grossly incompetent person." Tonight, Trump issued a long statement targeting, by name, entire American cities he views as "Democrat" and, thusly, enemy soil. Come together? No.

Is it strange or telling that — likely unknowingly — Ms. Tolokonnikova raises the idea of the never-built Disney's America as well as EPCOT Center and, broadly, The Florida Project itself? Walt, an ally of DC operatives, had a very dark side, and the 'project' isn't as simple as its presentation.

The Tea Party protests in April 2009 had about a third of a million people involved, and the political media treated it like a game changer for the Obama presidency. The No Kings rallies were AT LEAST ten times bigger than the Tea Party protests. Will the press keep pretending Trump is popular?

It is firmly in the “somebody’s making an active decision to downplay this” territory.

Amazingly, while it ran photos and small blog posts, the NYT does not appear to have done an overarching story about the No Kings protests, or the politics of it all, even though far more Dem electeds showed up across the country than at the Sept '09 Tea Party rally. www.nytimes.com/2009/09/13/u...

Oh I’m sure that if Joe Biden had seen mass protests of this magnitude the @nytimes.com would have been this quiet about it as well 😏

Historical context for the youngin’s: 25 years ago, an amazing Rage concert a few blocks away (outside Democratic National Convention) turned into a riot. The ones actually rioting were the LAPD officers. Including on horseback. Lots of legal settlements w LA City, but lessons not well learned.

Nobody is rioting. Nobody is breaking any laws. These are cops in my city of Las Vegas just assaulting and arresting anyone on Fremont Street who looks at them. This is fascism.

I will say for the umpteenth time that the Democratic establishment is terrible at understanding enthusiasm math. An energized base is crucial to winning fights-- electoral and otherwise-- because they will drag the low info folks out to vote and protest and engage. You NEED that energy.

I have no expertise in government, but the piece of advice I give most to parents is “meh” - when you’ve got a toddler or a teen who’s trying to stir things up, the best thing you can do is be indifferent. Make sure they’re not hurting anyone and then just shrug. I think the USA did that today.
