it is true that trump sucks and is shitty, but it is also true that he is incredibly susceptible to the jangling of keys, and it is wild that no democrat until Mamdani has figured this out
the democrats not having a single idea how to play the world's biggest and most suggestible egomaniac is yet another reason they belong on the scrap heap of history
It’s cool that Zohran was able to find common ground with Trump on material issues of affordability while the rest of the Democratic Party has only found common ground with him on hating and harming trans people.

a PSA: most nonprofit newsrooms right now are probably participating in the NewsMatch program RIGHT NOW. That’s a program funded by a few foundations that “matches” your end-of-year donation.
If you set up $10 monthly, that literally unlocks $120 from NewsMatch.
So who could you support?

i promise i don’t mean to high horse this but if you’re thinking about giving lizza ten bucks there are a lot of good independent journalists whose work you could subscribe to for a month instead

If the Republican position is "Republicans should get away with committing crimes in public office" and the Democrat position is "Republicans should get away with committing crimes in public office" then the result will be that Republicans keep getting away with committing crimes in public office
There are going to be prominent Democrats and mainstream media voices who insist that we have to "turn the page" and "forgive and forget" and they should all be roundly ignored, if not mercilessly mocked.
It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.
We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.
We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

“trump is ecstatic to meet the muslim socialist immigrant mayor of new york while MAGA’s strongest soldier from georgia-14 resigns in disgust” is a fucking coalition-breaking disaster for the hard right

I don't know if it makes sense to describe what happened today as "good PR". The Fox crowd doesn't seem terribly thrilled about the meeting either.

the takeaway from the Zohran Trump meeting is that Trump is a gullible fool who will temporarily bend to the last charismatic person he talked to.
Zohran played him perfectly but that doesn’t mean Trump is good now. He’ll go back to fascism tomorrow morning after he talks to Stephen Miller

The "But did he MEAN it?" talk about Trump drives me mad. I'm sure the question of whether he is an actual murderous dictator or merely a paranoid rageaholic screaming into TruthSocial will make for a good "Interesting Times with Ross Douthat" or ten, but both are disqualifying, so why split hairs?

Their advice is also dangerously wrong! When one group of people must carry papers on them to avoid government kidnapping and disappearing, that means *all* people must carry such papers on them. How else can you show the government you're not someone they should kidnap and disappear?
Email just went out on my campus that the Immigration Goons ("federal immigration agents") will be in town (Raleigh).
Inter alia, it says,"International students, faculty and staff should carry evidence of their immigration status with them at all times."
The fuck kind of country are we living in?
