The long-term Republican strategy to impose national Jim Crow can and should be distinguished analytically from the Trump regime. The former is durable and slowly but steadily expanding. The latter is flailing

Remind me again how we’re “fighting big pharma”?
As the US hits a 33-year high in measles infections, there is now a "race" to find a treatment for the disease.

One pharma company "is banking on a continuing decline in vaccination rates to fuel a need for measles treatments—and in turn, more investor interest"

The Race to Find a Measles Treatment as Infections Surge
The measles vaccine was so effective the disease was considered eliminated in the U.S., but a resurgence of outbreaks is spurring a need for drugs.

Whether it's conservatives assassinating State Senators in Minnesota or liberals refusing to sell Alan Dershowitz pierogis in Martha's Vineyard, both sides have taken incivility to an extreme.

Democrats held a trifecta four years ago. We could have had court reform. We all said "please give us court reform." Pelosi & Schumer killed it.

Why is far-right policy never described in such breathless terror as normie-ass policies from anyone left of hitler?
The giant cuts contemplated to Medicaid and other essential programs, the massive redistribution of wealth upward, the turning of the U.S. into a militarized police state, blithely accepted by mainstream GOPers, are imo decidedly more radical than Mamdani’s plans./6

Democrats remain vulnerable to the right's framing on an endless series of ginned-up moral panics.

Dems' instinct is always to meet the right halfway on whatever bullshit they've cooked up.

This is a result of not have their own policy platform beyond diet fascism and slightly less corruption.

Have it. That's the goal and that has always been the goal. "The system works fine so long as smart people like us are in charge of it," which explains the ongoing 40-plus year struggle with reaching voters who disagree that the system is working fine.

just a really long sustained and, as it goes on, increasingly obviously sarcastic round of applause to every Democratic op who is still pushing the utterly failed "culture war stuff is just a distraction" narrative and using "woke" as a pejorative.

Republicans are gross weirdos just keep saying it.
Democrats just flipped the Omaha mayor's office with ads like this. The right-wing obsession with genitals is starting to backfire.
