(2,2) With that, you were the Florida AG during the Parkland shooting when Jaime was murdered. Trump was President. DeSantis was Governor. Based upon your performance yesterday, should I blame all 3 of you for my daughter Jaime's murder or only you?

Obviously Will's failures on this front are well documented but this is a lesson all of us could internalize better.

I don't care who you are, you're going to have bad takes. Probably more than a few of them. I sure as hell have had my share. Have the courage and maturity to own it and move on.
@whstancil.bsky.social when was the last time, and to whom, you have said any of the following:

“oh, i was wrong”

“my bad, i’m sorry”

“please, teach me”

“thank you for teaching me”

“i am grateful for having this difficult conversation”

“understood i’ll do my best”

“forgive me for my mistakes”

Yes, it does. Fascists dehumanize their enemies. Turn them into boogeymen who deserve to be wiped off the face of the earth. And for Trump, the enemy is two-thirds of the American people.

As @nickturse.bsky.social reports, death cards are linked to PSYOPS and atrocities in Vietnam, a war fought largely by quotas (in that case, body count)

some questions the press might ask ole machine gun lips:
1. does the president think of himself as a mob boss?
2. is it exhausting to you, trying to remember all these lies?
3. have you no decency at all?

Context: this speech is from SIR THOMAS MORE, a history written, as near as scholars can tell, in the early 1600s by 6 or 7 people including Dekker, Heywood, Chettle, Shakespeare, and Munday.

It was never performed, because Jacobean England was a police state and it was banned by the censor.
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Can I prove that?

NO

There’s a reason for that
Johnson: “We had three House Republican candidates who were ahead on Election Day…And every time a new tranche of ballots came in, they just magically whittled away until their leads were lost…It looks on its face to be fraudulent. Can I prove that? No.”
