Sometimes self-government just means elections. And sometimes it means recognizing the deeper dignity and meaning of what it means to be a people. That means speaking up, standing out, and protesting. We can only be free together.

I'd recommend not overanalyzing the bizarre Trump presser with Mamdani today. Trump was enraged about the Epstein Files, expressed that rage by threatening to k*ll members of Congress, realized he went too far and opted to play nice with a man he falsely calls a Communist to get a day of good press.

w/ all due respect to the artist, in light of the use of a particular epithet by a notable US public figure, i'm reminded of the uncanny resemblance of said public figure & Jim Woodring's character 'Manhog', which i first noticed in 2020, & would like to recall your kind attention to at this time:

For 5% of the American population, waging war against American cities to create a dictatorial white theocratic ethnostate was not too far, but being a core part of a decades-long ring of child-rapists was too far. So that's nice.
One wonders what it will take for the next 5% to fall away.

<4 weeks later, that long period of static polling seems firmly over. The shutdown and Epstein, presumably, have finally made a dent. After months at a stable -10, now at -15.

It's not a foolproof plan but every political debate from now on should be a Normal Guy competition. Ask them to describe grocery shopping in detail. Talk about what it's like to have a friend

The Epstein scandal is a symptom of a larger disease
The capture and corruption of American politics and institutions of power has created a criminal, abusive, and degenerate class of elites who believe they are untouchable and don’t care who they hurt

It's Rotten All the Way Down: Epstein, Trump, and the Twilight of the Elites
What's being exposed is bigger than Jeffrey Epstein or Donald Trump. It's the failure of American institutions

American discourse is dominated by salacious stories about privileged people with obvious issues who make their issues everyone else’s problems.
The suffering of normal people gets lost because that’s the nature of this society. It’s sick and someday we’ll get past it.

The greatest thing would be if Clinton responded in classic Trump fashion: “Maybe it’s true. Maybe not. I don’t really care. But a lot of people are saying it.”

If only the Orange King was the backbone of the right wing movement. He’s just a front man. The real danger is behind him, obscured from view. ONE of the biggest problems we have is the Supreme Corruption who broke the Constitution to allow him on the ballot. They have lifetime appointments.

Media standards:
1) No Democratic scandal on par with Trump-Epstein, so it’d be biased and unfair to five it much attention.
2) Trump wouldn’t be shamed into resigning and his cult of personality wouldn’t abandon him, so Trump-Epstein wasn’t worth pursuing.
Way too many think that’s journalism.

The Democrats' election plan, as always, is to point at the Bad Man and say he's bad. But this is the time to talk about how this oligarchic political and economic system allowed this kind of person to take power in the first place, and how it should be changed. No appetite for that
