The New York Times has finally covered the Trump video of Obama as an ape — and they are still providing cover for him. Fuck the Times.

The Atlantic was founded in 1857, the New York Times in 1851. So it's a bit surprising that David Brooks is leaving the Times for the Atlantic, given that the Atlantic is only six years younger.

Infuriating. Be brave and bold, Senator Gillibrand. @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social
Gillibrand is legitimately even worse than Schumer.
Seriously @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social ?
This is what she sent out last night… hours after another ICE execution. With thousands of NYers on the streets. With our immigrant neighbors terrified. With our rights in shreds.
What a pathetic useless collaborator with fascism.

There are few things more disturbing than witnessing the government gun down your fellow citizen on a city street. The more Democrats share video of this, the more they alienate reasonable centrists.

Americans must have the right to bear arms so that they can resist tyranny. But if they exercise that right in a time of tyranny, they should expect to be shot and killed.

@peterbakernyt.bsky.social Trump not is advancing "one-sided narratives"--he is telling lies. You presuppose two sides, when in this situation there are not. He is telling a lie, a word that @nytimes, with all its primness & bothsidesism, refuses to use. And thus the NYT itself denies the truth.

I haven't watched any of the videos of the shooting of Renee Good but the fact that people on the left think it was murder while people on the right think it was self-defense shows that that the truth must be somewhere in the middle.
