This. It would be really, really great if Democrats would start *consistently* calling out the way that the media is led around like f'ing children by the right-wing hate machine.

Don't just accept the frame. Call out the frame. Force viewers to confront the frame. It's so f'ing basic.

All those kids & nurses & mechanics & service workers that we are deporting? It costs us $133,333 a head.

Why Stephen Miller Will Cost Republicans the Midterms The cruelty, chaos, and incompetence of Miller's mass deportation dreams have mortally wounded Trump's political standing

"Trump’s approval rating on immigration has dropped roughly 20 points over the past year. He is now about 11 points underwater...ICE’s campaign of terror has broken into the culture."

Just 14% of people rounded up by ICE were β€œthe worst of the worst” criminals.

That means 86% were NOT.

Country’s Largest Air Pollution Permit Issued to Power Plant for Data Centers in West Texas, Developer Says It’s among a handful of similarly colossal ventures announced during 2025, making Texas the global epicenter of a gas power buildout.

Only China has more gas power projects in development than Texas. Nearly half of all upcoming gas power projects in Texas, totalling 40 GW of capacity, are planned to directly power data centers.

A dinner Epstein hosted attended by Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and Mark Zuckerberg.

Over the weekend, I tested a hypothesis that because Trump made the right wing culture that is the core of Red State support for Republicans toxic, his OWN toxicity may make those areas contestable.
