So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and there’s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?

bring back maligning racism as the mark of a stupid person. prejudice is the mark of an idiot. if you believe that shit i bet you also don’t wipe your ass

“The regime is arresting and prosecuting opposition politicians for the crime of public protest” has for eight decades been shorthand for “the democratic West should not support this regime.” And that’s where we are now.

Pardoned Capitol rioter charged with threatening to kill Hakeem Jeffries at NYC event this week A pardoned Capitol rioter was arrested last weekend for allegedly threatening to kill the top House Democrat.

This is the asymmetry in our politics and media. If this was the other way around, Biden had pardoned someone then charged with trying to kill Trump, it would be the biggest story in America and every Republican commentator, congressman, news outlet, would be screaming about it in unison.

Maybe Johnson is worried he’ll have to explain to his son why he was looking at photos of johnsons

When prices were going up under Biden there was a constant deluge of news stories about it because the media did not like Biden and wanted him to lose. Under Trump there is not a constant deluge of news stories about coffee prices because they like Trump and want him to win

Correct, the Congressional Democratic position should be that the purported president of the United States is levying war against them and must be immediately removed from power and tried for treason. They certainly aren't going to vote to appropriate funds for his treason.

The South Korean Ministry of Defense has awarded medals of merit to 11 officers for disobeying direct orders of superiors during the martial law fiasco, orders that they deemed to be contrary to the constitution and endangerment to democracy.

No one should get violent threats. But if you’re gonna change your vote because of it, you should resign. I’Ve been getting violent threats all week and not only do I have no intention of shutting up, I think it’s evidence that we need to say it louder

Headline and lede from Time magazine (did not make the magazine cover) with a generic headshot of Minnesota House speaker Melissa Hortman that reads Minnesota Lawmaker Melissa Hortman Killed, FBI Hunt Suspect Jun 15, 2025 — Democratic state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, were killed by an individual impersonating a police officer. -- Hortman was assassinated by a far right extremist along with her husband and dog. The man had a long list of Democrats he planned to kill, and was caught after shooting Minnesota Democrat John Hoffman and his wife Yvette who thankfully survived

Headline from time with a photo of Charlie Kirk at the event where he was murdered, smiling and waving at the crowd. The preview time has shared indicates that this will be the cover story of the next magazine. The headline reads The Killing of Charlie Kirk and the Political Violence Haunting America

The asymmetrical media response to political violence in America is, in itself, one of the most important contributing factors to how we arrived at this place of escalating political violence.

In conclusion, if Dems aren't talking about how Trump et al are stripping Secret Service protection from their politicial enemies—and aren't imposing political consequences on those who use violent threats to expand their power—then Dems aren't actually serious about stopping political violence.

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

No one would be confused about what is happening here if they saw it in another country.

The media made a HUGE deal out of "basket of deplorables" and "cling to their guns or religion."

But, of course, it will totally ignore Trump saying he hates Democrats: "I hate them. I believe they hate their country."

According to the forecasting models, the current steep funding cuts— coupled with the potential dissolution of the agency—could lead to more than 14 million additional deaths by 2030, averaging more than 2·4 million deaths per year. These deaths include 4·5 million among children younger than 5 years, or more than 700 000 deaths annually.

There is not a single person in the Democratic Party who is treating the death of USAID with the gravity it deserves. There’s no political issue more important than the death of 14 million people, but they’re just delivering boilerplate condemnations and nothing more.

illegal war started by a man constitutionally ineligible to be president

The only reason Republicans have a reputation as "fiscal hawks" is that the press refuses to tell the public basic facts about what they do when they are in office.

Really Cool how nobody wanted to take this shit seriously

Sarah Huckabee Sanders was once politely asked to leave a restaurant and it generated 100x as much handwringing from the media as this will

It's darkly funny how little attention the masked secret police receive. Last year it seemed that the chattering class would never shut up about masked undergraduates. Perhaps they saw the encampments as more of a threat to their interests than the jackboots?

Trump has I think rightly calculated that no amount of fascist atrocities will drive the media to call them fascist atrocities

Legit the best thing any Dem has done to date in response to Trump and it happened because he cared more about serving his constituents than public polling about immigration.

A 1000 times this.

The great thing about fighting back against this stuff is that if you end up losing anyway you get the same outcome you’d have gotten from complying but you don’t have to fucking hate yourself too.

The past four Republican administrations have tanked the US economy. But I know multiple Democrats who include their pronouns in the footer of their emails. I have never felt more politically homeless.

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

been thinking a lot about the media reaction to Biden's first debate performance compared to its response to fascism

The feds owe this company $14 million, and the company has another $10 million in product that the government ordered. And it's all going down the drain because Musk wants other people's babies to die.

Musk Scandal at USAID Takes Ugly Turn, Putting Starving Kids at Risk Two U.S. nonprofits that manufacture a treatment sent by USAID to help severely malnourished children abroad say the process is in chaos. This isn’t what Marco Rubio said would happen.

Awful: Delivery of life saving treatment to nearly 400,000 severely malnourished kids abroad is in doubt amid USAID firings, the product's manufacturers tell me.

The treatment is a paste made of peanuts, milk and sugar for kids on edge of starvation.
