I know propaganda consumption is treated as a moral failing by much of the left. But the density of anti-immigrant hate anyone in red America has been force-fed for decades rhymes with what you might see before some of history’s worst atrocities.

Nailed it: “Gender dysphoria, gender identity disorder, or gender incongruence are among the defining traits that make someone transgender. Roberts might as well have argued that Jim Crow laws do not discriminate on the basis of race, but instead discriminate based on the color of a person’s skin.”

When you are faced with the mendacity of Trump, Hegseth, & Johnson, it’s pointless to try & get clarity from them. Go to the trusted sources. If you want to understand how we got here and what Trump & Netanyahu are up to, I present to you she who knows: Christine Amanpour. Breaking. It. Down.

This is one of the reasons why I've been impressed with Gavin Newsom lately. He knows how to throw a punch.

This is terrific framing: "...tens of thousands gathered in a united admonishment..." That's what it felt like today. A community completely united in their loathing of this un-American regime. #NoKings

Asking myself if the sloppy marching wasn't a subconscious attempt by some of the soldiers to ensure they weren't the only ones having a rotten day. COs can't be happy. Looks like they were being marched to a mandatory root canal.

As y'all might remember, I am no great fan of Gov. Newsom, but you go to war with the army you have, and this army seems to be doing an admirable job. Please proceed, Governor.

This is top tier mendacity right here. So the immigrants that came in under Biden are bad, but the immigrants who came in 10-20 years ago are necessary and productive. Worst of the worst.

Isn't this a complete repudiation of everything that he's been saying about immigration for the last 10 years? Now undocumented workers are necessary for rural communities but horrible for the urban areas? The level of hypocrisy has reached super-nova status. What a tool.

This is an excellent messaging strategy. Not only does it ring true, it will definitely infuriate Trump.

Kudos to Michael Bennet for absolutely body slamming Scott Bessent on the impact of tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans. The best Bessent can counter with is, "Well, Trump won the election, so..."

My family owes everything to America's acceptance of a refugee named Nicholas Pritzker on its shores over a century ago. My story, however, is not unique — our state and nation have been strengthened by people from across the globe seeking freedom, opportunity, and refuge here.

Gov. Pritzker: “It's wrong to deploy the National Guard and active duty Marines into an American city over the objection of local law enforcement, just to inflame a situation and create a crisis.”

I'll never understand why Dems refuse to make this a major issue in Nat'l campaigns. Gavin Newsom was right to threaten to withhold CA tax revenues. Furthermore, he should order the state gov't to investigate how to do that. Legally it's not a winner but it forces the issue into the spotlight.

I don't know that this represents a shift so much as an acknowledgement. It also fails to address the many reports of immigrants who were following the law but were arrested and deported anyways. And of course those that were here legally (TPS) but had the rug pulled out from underneath them.

Many folks don't like Gavin Newsom but right now he's doing what the anti-MAGA movement has been screaming for: Pushing back hard against Trump in the MSM and trolling him online. Assuming he's contemplating a run at the Presidency the deployment of the Nat'l Guard has given him a huge platform.

kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes

If there's one thing I've learned in my 44 years, it's that everything starts on the West Coast as the weirdest shit you've ever heard in your life--and within 15-20 years, it's just mainstream US culture. So, thank you, Los Angeles, you beautiful bastard. You are America.

I tend to think about what is happening to America right now as the ongoing attempted murder-suicide of multiracial democracy by a white nationalist minority and it’s very frightening but what’s happening in LA feels like a good sign that we’re not going down without a fight

I loathe Musk as much as anyone else but for a sitting president to openly threaten a private citizen over what political donations he or she chooses to make is a reminder of how authoritarian this country is becoming by the day - by the hour even!

I hate to agree with Steve Bannon, but he's right on this one. But don't stop at 39%. Go back to 1980 pre-Reagan levels. Top marginal tax rate for individuals: 70% Top Corporate tax rate: 46% It won't erase the deficit but it's a hell of a start. Tax cuts never pay for themselves.

This is fascinating. In this series of exchanges with author, CHATGPT consistently lies, then readily admits that it's lying and very convincingly promises to do better. Spoiler alert: it doesn't.
