Every single liberal commentator on TV needs to mention this repeatedly. No exceptions.

We will only stop playing this game after they do.
The alleged shooter in Michigan. Weird that Vance and Patel haven’t tweeted out this info. 🤷🏽‍♂️👇🏽

But how did the Germans let it happen?
the stories that come out of the ICE camps are going to look like the stories that come out of every camp system; rampant corruption, epidemic disease, physical and sexual abuse on a vast scale, a death rate far higher than normal, and medical abuses.

Many of the most accurate descriptions of American politics can be found in the comments on Balloon Juice. This one, from commenter Davis X. Machina (from about 15 years ago), is particularly apt today.

Read this.
This is just not a useful approach because young men do not have firm policy or political beliefs. What they have, instead, is an extremely powerful, highly fluid set of SOCIAL EXPECTATIONS, that arise out of their age, cliqueishness, and very distinct social universe.
I think a really underrated idea for Democrats would be to to try:

(a) Study public opinion accurately
(b) Adopt views, especially on social and moral values issues that align with public opinion

Or they can try this.

Just got a tip from a guy at the FAA. You'll never believe who is still getting new government contracts while all the contracts at the Department of Education and USAID and other agencies are being nuked from orbit.

In this Ohio diner, inflation is why you wear extra large pants to a tailgate. But they do know this: Paying higher prices on everything is a fair tradeoff for getting a bunch of new laws that target the one trans kid in town.

Actually, yes. I want you to go swimming.

Because you can't swim more than ten feet.

And then I can stop having these fantasies.
Trump, asked if he plans to visit the crash site:

"What's the site, the water? You want me to go swimming?"

This is Carolyn Edwards. She was one of the first officers attacked and knocked out on January 6th. She bravely testified before the January 6th committee. She is one of the bravest people I know and she deserves better. (She posted this publicly on her FB page which is why I'm sharing publicly)

Steven Bonnell may be a sociopath.

But he also understands better than 98% of elected Democrats how this game works.

Dear Democrats,

This is the message that beat you.

But here's the good news: this message is like a gun. You too can pick it up off the ground, point it, and shoot.

Institutions that do not express the utmost shock and horror at these moves deserve your harshest condemnation, because they are paving the road to authoritarianism and fascism as surely as Trump is

Great analogy
The best metaphor is of two parents competing for the affection of a child and one does the right thing for the child's health, the other lies to the child, lets them eat like sht, doesn't make them attend school, or do anything the kid doesn't want to do.

Dear Californians,

Too tired to protest Donald Trump?

That’s okay. Maybe you’ll feel up to it when all your tax payments go to fund Alabama’s next hurricane and you get nothing in return.

Get some rest.

Many people who identify as "Christian" may find Rev. Budde's words strange and unfamiliar. That's because they're based on the philosophy espoused by Jesus.
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

Elon Musk doing the Nazi salute at Trump’s inauguration rally. Did it twice, actually.

Don’t waste time arguing with the people telling us that’s not what happened. They’re not mistaken, they are engaged in propaganda.

Faced with authoritarianism in power, it is crucial we trust our own eyes.
