This lawsuit was filed in 2022. The judge denied the motion to dismiss in July. The only thing new is the media’s willingness to settle lawsuits with him.

The potential for media obedience is the only new story here.

Messaging? Like passing over qualified black folks for white men with no accomplishments? Like The Hispanic Caucus demanding seats at the table despite doing none of the work of The CBC? You mean white men acting like victims? Yeah I got more if you want.
I’ve been saying this for a while: the party doesn’t have a messaging problem as much as they have a listening problem.

I support Ben Wikler for DNC Chair. I’m not sure about Vice Chair yet, but David Hogg is on point with his remarks about messaging & political consultants.

Black women were brought to this country to WORK FOR FREE. They continue to work uplifting every other demographic through their voting practices for decades. Spare us your gaslighting, this is the reason plain & simple. Progressives feel the need to takeover what they’ve built. It has consequences.

An excerpt from Bluesky's community guidelines, part of the terms of service you agreed to when you signed up.

In other words: you were very explicitly told there'd be limits on how much you could debate the existence of trans people here. Don't like it? I'm sure Elon would love to have you back.

Their bigotry is meaningless in a bubble, they can't stand not having someone to shove it in their face.

Never underestimate the power of mockery to expose an empty threat meant to intimidate.

All of the posturing on social media for clout is such a slap in the face of the work being done on the ground. It's a slap in the face to all of the years spent trying to explain that banned books are not some cutesy thing. That they are about erasure and removal of *people*.

“NORMS!” everyone screamed, while being less than two months away from the inauguration of the guy who tried to steal the previous election.

This is utterly infuriating.

"But it never happened because the show “didn’t want to delve into politics…the Harris team got that reaction nearly “across the board” when trying to book the Democratic nominee on the same types of non-political media that happily welcomed Trump."

The Harris campaign team confirmed that they tried to get the candidate on “Hot Ones” but the popular YouTube show said no.

Jesus. Let’s just drop everything and throw him a fucking parade like the power-bottom pussies we’ve become. Because we’re afraid of an old fake billionaire loudmouth who applies Oompa Loompa makeup like a blind man in the dark. Pathetic.

He advises you to upload content directly to X instead, where he can monetize it

Perhaps more of the legacy media should have pushed back on his lies at the time. @democracydocket.com did.

If a lawmaker talks about cost of living, but they don't talk about tackling the biggest chunks of most families' budgets—housing and child care—they aren't serious about bringing down your cost of living.

If you think Harris spent the last month of her campaign hugging Liz Cheney, ask yourself how warped your media diet is that the people you listen to were able to make three appearances look like it was the whole campaign.
