The conceptual model that voter attitudes are relatively fixed, rather than malleable as a result of strategic messaging, has been a constant underlying DECADES of failed Democratic Party campaigns. It reflects the complete absence of two levels of party organization: www.salon.com/2025/05/10/w...

the story today is of a profoundly low energy military parade being met with millions of americans in nationwide protests denouncing the dictatorial pretensions of the president

A leader of the MN House Democrats is murdered by a Republican pro-life activist. Rather than condemning political murder of his opponents, Elon Musk spreads the conspiracy theory that it was done by Democrats. Journalists don’t need to use any social media site. But they really shouldn’t use X.

Saw quite a few at the Pasadena march, too. It was good to see. That flag doesn’t just belong to conservatives, no matter what they’d have everyone believe.

It's vital to emphasize that the GOP has been calling for violence against their political opponents for more than a decade now, led by Trump. The violence keeps escalating, and they keep doing it because they're getting results.

And there it is. The Minnesota assassin who shot Democratic lawmakers “voted for Donald Trump and was a strong Trump supporter,” according to his best friend.

What we are seeing in Los Angeles right now with #NoKings is after several hours of a massive protest that was 100%, law enforcement—abruptly and without provocation—began firing tear gas, flash bangs and pepper balls at protesters. It was broadcast live on air. “Unrest” is on them.

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

Some of these guys like Cernovich and Mannarino are dedicated propagandists. They have absolutely no notion of truth or shame, and Cernovich in particular has encouraged violence since Pizzagate. *Musk is one of these guys and Trump put him in charge of your government.*

This what happens when you let a straight person plan a parade.

Danielle, an Air Force veteran, has been at protests in Portsmouth, N.H., all day—and is currently downtown with this sign to protest Trump’s parade. “I don’t think the military should be used for that,” she told me.

Watching the #MSNBC Jake Soboroff coverage too and looks like the instigators have shown up. There's no need for them to get that close to the troops guarding the federal building. Time for the peaceful protestors to disperse so they aren't blamed if the instigators start something.

“Miasma theory” was discarded by medical experts and government officials in the mid to late 19th century. Just in case you were wondering what NPR means by “outdated.”

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

An important analysis I wish more had read before the election. Thanks again, @donmoyn.bsky.social—today, this speaks also to the subdued resistance we're often seeing from senior Democratic leaders. They're terrified, but also refuse to step out of the way for Dems who aren't.

MAGAs are so morally broken that they can't even bring themselves to condemn the assassinations of Democratic politicians in their homes. They would rather push an asinine false narrative than be decent human beings.

I think it’s very good that the opposition isn’t afraid to claim the symbols of patriotism this time around.

It makes me so mad when I see folks shocked & surprised by facist/racist behavior. Like I understand the US has a vested interest in not educating you about your history but when did you agree that this was fine? Why are you so comfortable with letting your curiosity stay buried?

It’s intolerable that Minnesota Democrats not only has to endure the brutal murder of political leaders, but the far-right faction that did it insists that we somehow did it to ourselves. Our society cannot operate inside the ocean of lies that Musk and his neo-Nazi cronies have created

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

There is only one side in American politics that consistently supports and endorses political violence. People need to stop being afraid to say so.
