Any account that blames "Dems" or "Liberals" for the current state of things instead of the MAGA right will be insta-blocked.

Remember Rev. David Black, the Chicago pastor who was shot in the head with pepper balls? If you haven't heard him speak yet, listen to this.

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position
He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

Also, why is a soccer league giving out a peace prize? About as prestigious as the KFC/Taco Bell prize for quantum physics!
This will definitely make up for the landslide blowout the GOP got handed yesterday.

I’m not a lawyer, so I’m not sure, is it a bad sign for your career when you lose a case where the guy admits to doing this thing you said he did, and there is also video of him doing this thing?

I’ve voted straight blue in every election my whole life. I won’t vote for the Nazi tattoo guy if he is nominated. I’ll vote 3rd party instead, the Nazi stuff is a dealbreaker for me and it should be for everyone.

I don't know what will happen in NYC tonight, but I do know that regardless of outcome, any number of public figures, celebrities, politicians and institutions that oppose Mamdani have done so with a level of rhetorical ugliness, racism, and dishonesty that should neither be forgotten nor forgiven.

i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist
the other thing about this is that there is no reason to pit these candidates against each other? each are good fits for their respective electorates and each shows the value of vigorous campaigns focused on the stated material problems of voters.

What can we do about mainstream media moving right? 1. Give up on some outlets (CBS) and embrace others (The Guardian) 2. Get alternative media to cover more hard news 3. Browbeat outlets into using their agenda-setting and framing powers better. newrepublic.com/article/2016...
The Mainstream Media Is Moving Right. Here’s What We Can Do About It.
At The Washington Post, CBS, and maybe CNN, the trend line is terrible. But liberals do have the power to reverse these trends.
