Paramount should enjoy its growing news monopoly while they have it because when Democrats win back power we are going to break up these anti-democratic information conglomerates. All of them.
if bovino is out and conservatives are turning on noem then there is a real opportunity to demand that miller resign too.
There is a grave moral consequence to letting this go on. Shut down the government, have a general strike, grind the country to a halt, hit the streets. But not treating a demented administration lying about its thugs committing cold-blooded murder as an emergency? That is an emergency in itself.
The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.
Arrest the murderer and arrest Bovino. Not complicated.
Somebody get Armando Iannucci on the phone

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.
Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.
People have power. Ask Target
In short, force them to try to rule by naked force because they *do not* have enough force and the very nakedness of it will mean they have less and less.
The Civil Rights movement overcame far more with far less, if we had a fraction of their courage, we'll win.
i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.
Declaring a fake emergency as an excuse to deploy the military to police civilians is one of the most canonical examples of authoritarian takeovers.
Overseas, people see clearly what Trump is doing. Here in America most people — especially those with power or influence — are in denial.
please, every other democrat, do not let gavin newsom outshine you on this front
start acting like this until he is the dimmest, most unremarkable light among anti-trump firebrands
DC statehood is now an imperative. No more dicking around. Next Dem majority, get it done immediately.
I wonder about the potential use of congressional term limits, which I don't like, as an attention grabber in the larger push for good government.
People reflexively agree with them. Is the trade-off worth it?
Could help build momentum. But may be (1) unproductive & (2) a hard sell to incumbents.
just want to share this Lincoln line from his "electric cords" speech.
"So I say in relation to the principle that all men are created equal, let it be as nearly reached as we can. If we cannot give freedom to every creature, let us do nothing that will impose slavery upon any other creature."
Calling for the starvation of a people is incitement to genocide.
Incitement to genocide is a crime under both U.S. and international law.
If you refuse to endorse the overwhelmingly popular Democratic nominee for mayor of America's largest city, you should not be leading Democrats in the U.S. House
The antipathy for the Department of Education is the most enduring relic of the cause that birthed the modern GOP: not having to go to school with Black people.
That’s the thing: Brazil is the living, breathing example of what the US should have done to deal with someone who tried to overturn an election loss. It shows it’s possible, and they can’t let that stand.
Everyone like this needs to be hounded out of the Democratic Party. These are people who genuinely believe a permanent Trump/GOP trifecta is a better outcome than policy being slightly left of their preferences. They are a major reason why millions of people who agree with Dems don't bother to vote.
This is an assault on the Reconstruction Amendments by a Neo-Confederate Court wedded to the far-right argument that those amendments were illegitimate and destroyed the original intent of the Founders, which was to create a white man's country

I had the same reaction. Mamdani is such a threat in their view that they had to essentially reverse their non-endorsement policy. If Cuomo was cruising to victory, I doubt this piece would be written.
The Minnesota assassin appears to be a hate-filled right winger. So can we stop walking on eggshells about MAGA's legitimization of political violence?
Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue.
