This is the ultimate “bring back a past I’m nostalgic for without recreating any of the material conditions that made that possible.” Peak MAGA brain.
Sean Duffy, the U.S. transportation secretary, has been urging people for the past week to dress and comport themselves better as a way of restoring “civility” to air travel. On Tuesday, he added another item to his list of concerns: the quality of the snacks handed out on commercial flights.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy Wants Healthier In-Flight Snack Options

The reason civil rights activists called their marches and protests “demonstrations” was because they were staged to demonstrate the evils of discrimination and anti-democratic rule.
It’s an essential step in effecting change.

To be clear, the narrative shift didn’t just happen, it required courage and action by courts, Senator Van Hollen, union leadership, protesters, reporters and, critically, Abrego Garcia’s wife. In the 1960s, civil rights leaders called it “dramatizing injustice.”

Even if you agree with Schumer that voting for cloture was the lesser of two evils, he handled this with such total ineptitude, in a way that could not have angered and demoralized Democratic voters more if it had been designed to, that it's impossible to justify his leadership role.>

Next thing you know, Trump will expect Jews to stop saying negative things about Hitler.
Trump says President Zelensky should be nicer to Vladimir Putin:
“He doesn’t have to stand there and say ‘Putin this, Putin that,’ all negative things. He’s got to say, ‘I want to make peace, I don’t want to fight any longer.’”
(It’s clear that Trump wants Ukraine to surrender to Putin.)
