The political press very clearly understands “truth” as a social agreement, a compromise position between everyone important enough to have an opinion. It did not reflect on how this would allow dedicated liars to go all-in on lies again and again and dramatically shift the position.
my emerging theory is that the political press literally does not believe in objective reality in any meaningful sense. there is only what A says and what B says and how that affects the horse race

Why is ICE threatening the chaplain of the MN Timberwolves? This shit is happening everywhere. The national guard is protecting protestors at the federal building. We are literally under attack by the Feds. They executed Pretti. Why is everybody acting like it’s nbd for fucks sake?

The idea that we're drawing our resolve from each other, that we are willing to put ourselves in harm's way to protect our neighbors, even ones we do not know, it's unthinkable to them.
They don't understand that real strength doesn't come from HURTING PEOPLE but from PROTECTING THEM.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Wise words from WEB DuBois to gird us today: "It would be shame and cowardice to surrender this glorious land and its opportunities for civilization and humanity to the thugs and lynchers, the mobs and profiteers, the monopolists & gamblers who today choke its soul and steal its resources."

Lincoln said "If we burn the country to the ground ending Slavery, then that's the judgment of the Lord". That implies you shouldn't half-ass it like we did. So it's time to fucking finish the job, and all the jobs.

The fantasy trope about visiting a place where the old magic is still strong and the forest still speaks, except it's about going across town to visit the one burrito place that hasn't changed its menu or prices since 2008

It's absolutely unacceptable that Jerome Powell is displaying more courage in the face of tyranny than the the entirety of the Democratic Party leadership. People like Schumer and Jeffires supposedly lead the opposition party but all they do is tell us "these guys are bad!" like we're blind idiots.

If the gospel you preach is offensive to prostitutes and outcasts but pleasing to the rich and powerful, somehow you managed to get it exactly backwards from what Jesus preaches
