So many liberal Americans are desperate to normalize their country. Seeing Trumps everywhere. Thinking every other country will be like theirs. They seem incapable of accepting that the US has much higher support for far right and is in a far worse state than Europe (bar Hungary).

This is our second-to-last stand: Getting 1) the public off the sidelines into the streets and 2) the corporate media to do its job. The goal is to provide incentives for the (very few) remaining Rs to defect from the fascist bandwagon. The issue is 1) and 2) have to happen simultaneously 1/n

“We cannot be made to be afraid of these f**king people. I know these people. They are cowards" - Tim Miller

In every single interview I’ve done with international media since Trump took power I’ve been asked: Why are there no mass protests? There are many reasons, of course, but the utter refusal of the self-proclaimed “fourth estate” to communicate clearly what is happening has to be high on the list.

Is this the "good times produce weak men" part of the cycle? 🤔

Early data suggests historically strong turnout in German elections. Traditionally this has been considered favorable for centrist parties, but it remains to be seen if this is still the case (cf. debate about turnout advantage for Dems in US)

Corporate Media lied to this man, to US. Corporate Media sold Trump as a populist interested in making government more effecient & helping working families, despite very clear plans to gut government for his benefit & destroy key safety net & protections for working families.

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

It is hard for most people outside of NYC to understand how amazing the subway is to get around, and how ridiculous it is to drive to places in lower Manhattan.

Underreported fact, but the German far right is more moderate than the Republicans

Agree with the overall assessment actually but the last sentence sounds just completely made up. Do you think people will base their vibes relative to what a bunch of economists say? I don't, I was around in 2024.

If you are still on X you are supporting fascist propaganda and election interference.

The people who think they are good at everything because they are good at coding are also bad at coding.

Corporate Media that brought US the Iraq War, took down Clinton (but her emails!), took down Biden (but his age!), took down Harris (inflation!) now wants US to consider invading Canada.

Peter Baker is a dipshit par excellence

i genuinely thought this was hyperbole and was prepared to see something, anything on the NYT site but literally there is nary a peep on the entire US vertical

@carolecadwalla.bsky.social nails it, what’s happening in the US isn’t just politics as usual, it’s a full-blown shift toward #Broligarchy. Now @theguardian.com’s ditching experienced journalists like her and jumping in bed with #OpenAI? Support independent journalism if you can. #USPol #Politics

🎯 ‘It’s a relay, find your team’

Ezra Klein willfully ignores reality of the situation because he is an institutionalist paid to willfully ignore reality of the situation.

An excellent question. Where are the Fortune 500 & Wall Street CEOs? Where are the university presidents? Where are the civil society leaders? Not just speaking out specifically in defense of their institutions & democracy, but also about 🇺🇸's global interests? The silence is deafening & shameful.

Some men would rather end human history’s longest running experiment in self-government than go to therapy

Our military will soon be asked to make a very stark choice. There will be mass unrest in this country as these disastrous changes take effect. Trump will invoke the insurrection act at some point. You will be ordered to inflict violence on your fellow citizens. Think through this before it happens.

There’s an ampersand missing there
