well, it’s a good thing we have nothing to learn from a nation suffering a complete collapse in international standing due to the government devolving into a personalist regime whose one purpose is to keep its leader out of jail

We need to teach people the difference between being uncomfortable and being unsafe. Because the discomfort of the safest people is endangering the most vulnerable, all day every day.

AOC discovering that the online left is a collection of the worst, most toxic people on the planet, whose sole function in life is to set up arbitrary, shifting purity tests so they can preen about their superior moral virtue while doing fuck-all to improve anything.
Fuck them, AOC for president.

My record on Palestine speaks for itself. I’m proud of it. One of the strongest in Congress. I throw down for pro-Palestine candidates. Largely unrecognized work. That’s fine. Disagreements are fine, too. But if you want to toss all that for 1 half assed MTG stunt, be my guest. I know where I stand.

Terrific journalism analysis here that should be the last word in the latest Mamdani kerfuffle.
1/ The NYT is a great institution in a lot of ways. Many many people produce fantastic work. It is the least compromised of our major news outlets.
It's problem has always been its arrogance. Almost all of its violations, big and small, can be traced back to that.

“The New York Times collaborated with a white nationalist eugenicist hacker and agreed to keep his identity a secret to publish a Zohran Mamdani hit piece” is a way bigger story than “18 year old Zohran Mamdani ticked ‘African American’ on his Columbia application because he was a citizen of Uganda”

👇🎯 The moment the Republic stopped functioning was not January 6. It was the second impeachment acquittal in the Senate on February 13, 2021.
In a way the pardoning of the Jan 6 someones was an even bigger crisis than the insurrection itself.

Where are the libertarians? Where is civil society? Do you want to live in a country where people are deported without due process into foreign gulags? Where US senators are arrested? Where the government ignores court orders and deploys the military on the streets of our cities?

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee:
“Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

Personally, I think it’s easier for the press to dwell on “Did Biden enable Trump by deciding to run?” than “Did Biden enable Trump by not being aggressive enough with the DOJ?,” because Trump’s a winner in the first scenario and a criminal in the second.

Anyone still supporting this immoral, anti-American hypocrite knows jack shit about history & should fuck all the way off into the sun. That goes double for privileged Bay Area tech brat sociopaths who think they are gods gift to humanity while demonstrating the media literacy of disabled clowns.
"It is the height of historical irony that Trump, who so skillfully availed himself of his own 'due process' to delay & stall his 94 criminal charges — 94! — long enough to return to the presidency & escape them entirely is now the one seeking to rob the rest of us of that tradition & protection."
The existential national crucible that Donald Trump has brought to the fore with his experiment in disappearing people to a torture gulag in El Salvador presents us with one of the starkest test of values and the constitution our country has ever faced. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/has-americ...

I have to say: Chuck Schumer is a weak man and a fool. This was the one cudgel Dems had. Now it's up to the courts which we new from the beginning were at best going to slow some things down. There's 18 hours left to somehow bring additional pressure to bear. It will be really hard to do that.
