I told you all @jeffbezos was feral. He’s now killed the Graham/Bradlee legacy of justice, the First Amendment and basic humanity in a vomitous spew of nonsense, testosterone fueled (and HGH) double talk that is more than a little pathetic and utterly shameless.

Usually when states go to court alleging federal coercion in violation of the 10th Amendment there is not a literal video of the President doing it.
TRUMP: The NCAA has complied immediately. That's good. But I understand Maine -- is the governor of Maine here?
JANET MILLS: Yeah I'm here
TRUMP: Are you not gonna comply?
JM: I'm going to comply with state and federal law
T: You better do it bc you're not gonna get any federal funding at all

I feel so sick. Enough with the lies, enough with the games. They know exactly what they're doing.
This is a neo-Nazi movement. Proudly so. The only reason they've kept it coded up until now was to take advantage of those who didn't want to believe it.
No more looking away. Face up to what it is.

This type of weak sauce learned helplessness from Democrats is pathetic.
Yet it’s true that the broad mobilization of civil society we desperately need in order to stop this authoritarian assault will create dangerous, volatile situations. That’s just where we are.

The game has changed, friends. They're about to start ignoring judicial rulings. Democratic leaders need to wake up or transfer their positions and authority to those who understand how to operate in this extremely heretofore un-American type of political reality.

Things become clear once you realize Nazi Germany was not exceptional, that Nazis were not uniquely evil and that their behavior in the final stages (1938–1945) was a natural outcome of far-right policies left unchecked.
This was the lesson of Holocaust survivors. We ignored it.

Left-leaning podcasts are missing the point when they create political shows.
They need shows about every topic (sports, TV, comedy, music) with left-leaning hosts that don't touch on politics in every episode.
Get people to become fans of them as people, not talking at them or down to them.
