This is a good lesson for journalists: Use plain language to state true things clearly.
"Where everybody lies about everything of importance, the truthteller, whether he knows it or not, has begun to act; he, too, has engaged himself in political business, for, in the unlikely event that he survives, he has made a start toward changing the world.”
Hannah Arendt - "Truth and Politics"
The question is, how to effect change when all the levers of power are in the hands of the enemy?! (Yes! Enemy! Not opposition! Opposition suggests normalcy!)
Now THIS is America's mayor!
Well said Mayor.
The bright side of their troglodytic bigotry is that it provides a wonderful contrast to your humanity and eloquence.
I took the initiative to fix it for accuracy.
Spectaccurate, if you will.

Or dangerous NYPD:
“police kidnap de blasio’s daughter and issue veiled threat demanding mayor authorize specific tactics” was blip in the press
"Adams's protective detail kidnapped crypto investor and brought him to gangsters who sexually tortured him for his password" "forced him to smoke crack"
Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.
Trump does not have the authority to start a war in Iran. And yet, he’s moving in the direction of committing ground troops.
If Republicans in Congress do not want to serve their constituents or their constitutional duty, they should just resign.
No no no... King Charles. Do NOT visit the whitehouse. That would be the wrong message to send.
Unless there's an ancient English law that allows you to behead trump with your sword.
If so, I can drive you to Heathrow. Just message me..
I will lend you my Tesco bag for life to bring back his head.
Like getting pregnant in the United States?
I remember seeing this clip from Craig Ferguson. The 3 question rule really is great for navigating relationships.
This is so simple and elegant to comprehend and practice. The world would be both kinder and, counterintuitively, braver if we all stopped to consider the 3-Question Rule of Emotional Intelligence before speaking (or posting):

Prisoner's Dilemma, my beloved... everyone should play Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward! It's all about exactly that 😁

“The clear winner of this war is Putin”
Must be a coincidence 🙃
There's a reason why this is my pinned skeet:

Uh because he's a psychopath.
District court judges continue to be the part of the federal government that largely continues to function.
You did the prisoner's dilemma in class? Neat!

The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam. It would take away the rights of working people to make their voices heard at the ballot box.
The Senate must reject this bill.
The oligarchs are literally having us kill each other in wars they created just so they can consolidate power.
Russia is at war with Ukraine. The United States was helping Ukraine until Trump got back into office. Now the United States is at war with Iran. Putin is helping Iran with targeting info. Both Trump and Putin are backed by an overlapping group of oligarchs.
This oil deal is a gift to Putin.
We put an alcoholic rapist in charge of the military and he’s confessing to war crimes from the Pentagon podium.
When we restore democracy, we need to put the people who committed crimes in prison.
