Trump, always in his ‘bull in the china shop’ mode, is no better than the Democrats.

“Trump’s decision to weaponize the Justice Department is especially regrettable because he returned to the presidency having overcome the biggest onslaught of lawfare in American history.” —The Free Press

Mamdani represents a left that has abandoned liberalism.

“There are diminishing returns to anti-Trump sentiment, and campaigns in less Democratic-leaning states will almost certainly need more if the party is to have success next year and in 2028.”
—Michael Baharaeen

I am not comfortable with Trump’s recent memorandum, it transforms political financial advocacy into a potential national security crime… possibly giving the admin. tools to suppress dissent or target opponents…

In progressive threads, conservatives are often described NOT as rivals, but as existential threats (fascists, white supremacists, theocrats). Once that label sticks, some feel violence is then justified…

Those who point out falsehoods on their own side are assumed to be working for the enemy, because our hunter-gatherer brains struggle to comprehend that someone could genuinely care about the truth more than any tribe.

This is why it’s good to listen to your opponents.—Gurwinder

The Trump administration restricting what reporters can possess/publish, even if unclassified is very likely unconstitutional, contradicting major Supreme Court precedent…

The murder of Charlie Kirk by some fringe radicalized kid is less disturbing than the joy and celebration expressed by everyday people here on Bluesky and TikTok. It’s a terrifying sign we have fallen as a society.

How can it be that liberalism is now the enemy of Democrats?

Leftism is the antithesis of classic liberalism. The former is obsessed with oppression and victimhood; the latter is about freedom, self accountability and self determination.
