The Atlantic should be ashamed of publishing this nightmare piece from Liz Bruenig, whose callous dismissal of Adriana Smith's dignity is one of the most shocking things I've ever read.

The Times questioning Zohran’s experience kinda just boils down to ideology & racism but the idea of 33 being too young to hold a major political office is so funny. If he was a CEO of a startup that produced something worse than nothing they’d write a glowing feature on his new bold ideas.

I love all the handwringing about Zohran’s lack of experience when a 19 year-old called Big Balls has recently been made a permanent federal employee with the title Senior Advisor at the GS-15 pay grade in the General Services Administration.

Unions from around the world have placed plaques on the Haymarket memorial in Chicago. It’s pretty cool to see the continued resonance of an event that occurred in the US but is mostly forgotten here. It’s telling that one of the only US plaques is from the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists

I don't think I've ever felt more like burning it all down than I have while witnessing the elite project to turn Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander into scary, incompetent monsters while turning an actual incompetent monster, Andrew Cuomo, into a merely complicated fellow who just made an oopsie.

The Times saying last year they'd no longer endorse candidates in local elections, then immediately being like "oh but not THAT guy" 10 months later because the candidate wants free buses gives away the whole game. "Objectivity" means you break your own rules to punch left as much as you want.

this is obviously something to take seriously but i am also struck by how the white house’s only move is to double down, no matter how unpopular or politically disastrous it might be

The Atlantic piece on Zohran Mamdani and Andrew Cuomo is full of holes. Mamdani's proposals are picked apart and labeled unrealistic while Cuomo's supposed goals aren't even elaborated on. Cuomo is "an asshole, but he's our asshole"—the New Yorkers who he has sexually harassed might think otherwise

When a cabinet member announces "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders," where do you go from there. What is left to say. The idea of that being anything short of a near-universal "Wait, what the fuck is going on" moment proves how far we've backslid.

This is the most straightforward thing they've said so far. They're using the military to "liberate" Los Angeles from its mayor and governor.

okay but the thing about the CIA is that the mythology of the agency belies the reality, which is that for much of its existence it was a rubber room for WASP failsons and their operations reflect this

SHUT. IT. DOWN. A senator was dragged out of a press conference for standing up for his constituents and against fascism. Watch how your representatives and senators respond to their own colleague being treated like this. That'll show you how they'll react when it's you on the ground.

a stark admission that they are here to usurp the authority of our duly elected government officials, punctuated by the physical removal of a US senator. Call it tyranny, call it fascism, call it authoritarianism. It's here, and it's coming for us all if we let this stand.

So they're openly admitting that the military occupation of Los Angeles is meant to eliminate its political leadership who disagrees with the regime?

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

I suspect this will be yet another example where a high-profile person on the right says something horrendous and the media goes ho-hum, whereas any rando person on the left is suddenly the voice of the entire Democratic party.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.
