My main observation from the last few hours of monitoring US social media is that Democrats are universally denouncing political violence and calling for calm while MAGA are escalating language and openly lusting for retribution against broad categories of people they identity as their enemies.

Texas Rep. Greg Casar: The mistake Democrats have made in the pas is playing by a different set of rules, a generally accepted set of rules, and then Republican governors like Greg Abbott draw radically racially gerrymandered maps ...We have to actually fight fire with fire here.

Dems criticizing the BBB b/c it makes cuts to medicaid or extends tax cuts for the rich is playing politics like it’s 2015.
Folks, don’t bury the lede: it funds an exponential expansion of the lawless, durable, authoritarian police state that is emerging from the mass deportation program!

i really hate the “Black people have made it through worse” sentiment about this country.
A LOT of Black folks did not make it. a lot of folks were sacrificed to enrich this country. but also why is suffering a necessary part of Blackness? i don’t desire to suffer until death in hopes of heaven.

In the NYC mayoral primary, the voters defeated the party establishment. That’s what people are saying when they say the party tried to stop him. Pedantic "erm, ackshually, the VOTERS are the party!" stuff is obnoxious.

the lesson you should draw from the most jewish city in the world putting an israel-skeptic muslim over the top in the mayoral primary is literally the opposite of "anti-semitism is a serious threat to local jews." trust me when i tell you we understand self-interest.

People keep asking why The Onion is doing well right now, and it's simply because we just refuse to kowtow. I cannot stress enough how good it is for your business and your soul be strong and even fun in the face of the ongoing horror and bullshit.
