The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

From the vantage point of March 2024, the prospect of a federal government controlled by a Trumpian GOP just seemed to me like an extinction-level event. bsky.app/profile/seth...
There's still a small subset of old-school business Republicans that try to keep the crazy talk reined in to avoid total electoral collapse, but even those folks are 100% on team MAGA. If these folks gain full control of the federal gov't in 2024, it's unimaginable what they will try to do.

The networks were afraid not to run Trump because they assumed he would use his office to punish them if they didn’t. The irony is that this is what Biden was warning about, a warning they chose not to share with America.
You'll remember that when Biden delivered an address in 2022, networks refused to air it because they said it was "political" www.washingtonpost.com/media/2022/0...
As Biden warned about democracy’s collapse, TV networks aired reruns
Broadcasters NBC, CBS and ABC usually air presidential prime-time addresses live. But they found Biden's Philadelphia speech more "political" than newsworthy.

Palantir CEO Alex Karp just paid a staggering $120 million for a 3,700-Acre Colorado monastery.
It's the most expensive residential property purchase in the area to date.
Karp reportedly owns 20 properties around the world, many in top skiing locations.

I still can't believe they're trying to make a war happen out of thin air. Not just their abrogation of Congress's role in formally declaring a war -- that's been a slippery slope for decades -- but their total unwillingness even to go through the motions of drumming up public support.

I fear that if white men ever got to parity in influential jobs in media & politics & banking instead of having a super majority they would drop nukes on this country.

White men—30% of US population!!—are CEOs at 72% of Fortune 500 companies, direct 83% of the movies made in the US, serve as 70% of US Senators, & on & on.
Their representation in key industries is at least double what their share of the pop predicts but it’s still not enough for them!

Back in 2001, the right-wing takeover of US media was still a ways off. "Right-wing media" was still a distinct, separate thing. Nonetheless, the conservative browbeating of "MSM" voices had been loud enough, long enough, to suppress the natural civic horror at GOP cheating in the election.

In terms of US politics, Bush v. Gore is the defining event of the century. It set the template: a ruthless right that instinctively seeks power & doesn't give a shit about rule of law...and a bunch of hapless, feckless octogenarian Dems worried about the good opinion of centrist opinion columnists.
The 25th anniversary of Bush v Gore is today. The conspiracy mongering & corruption of the GOP has been brewing for a long time.
Roberts, Barrett and Kavanaugh were all on Bush's legal team, where they pushed unfounded legal theories. SC justices were already enmeshed in voter fraud myths.
