I refuse to spend one second of the Trump term being surprised or outraged. I knew this would happen and so did every person who voted against it. This doesn’t change until the other half of the country decides to be outraged.

They recovered over 180 bullet shells at the CDC. Debris from shattered glass is still being cleaned up. I am completely stunned at how quickly the news cycle has moved on. This was an act of terrorism targeting public health experts, and the response seems to be a collective shrug.

Being right wing is so hard bc you’re not allowed to acknowledge any actual phenomena that shape the world, so when you try to describe something you just end up sounding like if a person speaking in tongues worshipped the internet instead of god

We should all be disgusted by the flood of anti-Muslim remarks spewed in the aftermath of Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the NYC mayoral primary — some blatant, others latent.
Shame on the members of Congress who have engaged in such bigotry and anyone who doesn’t challenge it.

Don’t get me wrong, I want to see the Democratic Party get younger, louder, and more progressive. But let’s not get it twisted, that won’t ensure that candidates are more likable or relatable. Their policies may be better/more effective, but anyone who runs for office is still a dork-ass egomaniac.

If Democrats want good coverage from political journalists, they should simply copy the Republican playbook of simply ignoring the media's demands, threatening them with lawsuits, constantly belittling them with insults and suggesting their followers should physically assault them.
