I think the lesson of biden should be that winning an election with someone who isn't willing to treat the current situation as a massive emergency is just going to make things worse.

A load-bearing pillar of Trump's electoral coalition is people who hate all his bullshit but accepted the premise that it's the price they pay for a good economy; it has absolutely no currency in a bad one.

It's been fun watching people find this stuff, it's like being early to all of JD Vance's insane interviews

The entire anti wokeness nonsense of the past decade was about making this kind of gutter racism broadly acceptable again bsky.app/profile/adam...

Screenshot of a New York Times puff piece about Katie Britt, "The G.O.P. Senator Who Can't Stop Thinking About the Boy ICE Detained"

paragraph 48: "In Mr. Trump’s second term, Ms. Britt has voted in line with the president 100 percent of the time."

She's doing the anti-Youngkin approach, by which I mean doing things that are popular

the wapo bloodbath once again proves that our wealthy and powerful deserve neither their wealth or power

I mean, this was obvious to some of us years ago

Beating a dead horse but this really does just encapsulate what the cancel culture outrage was always about: putting people above consequences because of their wealth, status or connections.

Portugal’s conservatives back left-wing candidate to avoid a far-right president Center-right leaders are taking pains to publicly reject the ultranationalist contender ahead of the country’s Feb. 8 vote.

🚨🚨Striking but welcome development in Portugese politics: To stop the explosive growth of the ultranationalist #Chega party, Portugal’s leading conservatives are doing the previously unthinkable: endorsing the center-left candidate for president. 🧵

Early last year I approached Rep Gimenez with an offer to work together to protect immigrants in his district & mine. He rudely told me he had his own strategy & walked off.

Apparently his strategy was to do nothing for over a year to actually stop this.

Miami deserves better.

He just keep announcing new ugly buildings he's gonna force on DC and the people around him to nod like it isn't the stupidest thing they've heard

One of the truly irritating things about living in the District is that the National Park Service operates all these tiny park parcels all over town (plus some actual national parks) and can't be bothered to maintain them

Right-wing media attempt to justify baseless conspiracy theories that the attack on Ilhan Omar was staged Right-wing media reacted to an attack on Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) by a man who sprayed a liquid at her during a January 27 town hall event by suggesting the attack was “suspicious” and “staged.”Presiden...

Echoing Trump's own baseless claim, right-wing media figures are suggesting it is “perfectly reasonable” to question whether Rep. Ilhan Omar's assault was “fake” or “staged.”

Media reporter Justin Baragona is back! The prolific scoop-getter is returning to Zeteo and is bringing back his newsletter, ‘Ragebait,’ which will include his take on the right-wing media’s latest manufactured outrage, what mainstream media is ignoring or getting wrong, original reporting, and much more. Baragona, who has probably broken more Bari Weiss-related scandals than any other media reporter in the US, previously wrote a newsletter for Zeteo back in 2024, before leaving to become a reporter for The Independent. He’s back with us now! In addition to Baragona’s long-awaited return to Zeteo, we are beyond excited to announce the arrival of a trauma surgeon who not only saved the lives of countless people in Gaza, but is also the central character of a documentary screening at the Sundance Film Festival as you read this email! Dr. Feroze Sidhwa is one of the key figures in the film ‘American Doctor,’ a film that Zeteo executive produced, which follows the efforts of US doctors trying to save Palestinian lives in Gaza. He is also the author of the viral New York Times guest essay that uncovered Israel’s targeting of children in the occupied strip. Zeteo spoke to Dr. Sidhwa while he was in Gaza, hosted a panel with him after the screening of our documentary, ‘Gaza: Doctors Under Attack,’ and so we could not miss out on the chance of having him become part of the Zeteo team of contributors. Between Baragona’s scoops from inside corporate media and Dr. Sidhwa’s experience documenting a genocide in real-time, Zeteo and independent media just became two crucial voices louder.

So, ummm, some personal news!

Big news that I'm delighted to no longer be keeping a secret: Next week I join @wired.com as a senior writer!

As everyone knows, this is a top-tier publication and indispensable record of digital life today. I'll be covering internet culture in all forms, as I have for almost 15 years now.

MAGA is totally convinced Ilhan Omar ‘staged’ spray attack: ‘Somali False Flag Scam’ ‘It's all fake. Even if it wasn't staged (though it may have been), it's still fake,’ ultraconservative Daily Wire host Matt Walsh tweeted about the attack.

Y’all ever miss co-existing in a shared reality

fightin for her life lol

Fire Kristi Noem.
Fire Stephen Miller.

Prosecute every last one of Trump's thugs who are murdering Americans and terrorizing our communities.

“Figured they (ICE protesters) were being paid…”

O’Keefe:

I have to listen to far-right podcasts all the time for work and I do not agree that the solution to any of our problems is for more people to listen to far-right podcasts

Nick Sortor @nicksortor 🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: Gregory Bovino has now been RELIEVED OF DUTY as Commander at Large of the U.S. Border Patrol, I’ve exclusive learned This is BS! Trump must reverse this NOW! Bovino put his life on the line EVERY SINGLE DAY pushing for mass deportations across the country, going head to head with leftists and reminding THEM who’s boss. His family’s been on lockdown for MONTHS, and despite the CONSTANT death threats, he’s STILL in public leading his men every single day. DO NOT COWER TO THE DEMOCRATS, PRESIDENT TRUMP! BACK BOVINO!

When all of this falls apart, it's your duty as an American to remind these people of all the sycophantic, mealy-mouthed nonsense they brought into this world in order to justify terrorizing communities.

Bauer, who is 49, struggled to maintain her composure as she described the day early this month when ICE showed up in force outside her school. Agents had been circling the school since December, seemingly learning its routines, and they arrested some parents just before the winter break. But this time, agents leapt out in riot gear and began entering the apartments just across from the school, where many students live. “We had to lock down and keep the kids inside, and parents linked arms to block the school entrance,” Bauer said. “We had a student who was looking out the window and saw them break into his apartment and just sobbed, ‘That’s my house. That’s my home.’ And we shut the blinds, but it was too late.”

The terror that ICE and CBP have inflicted on the children of the Twin Cities is, by itself, a crime of scandalous proportions that will forever stain this country's moral fabric, and all those responsible should never know another day of peace. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

This is actually one of the most troubling ICE stories I’ve seen recently — an eye-popping sign of how corrupt, broken, and racist the internal culture is:

Fox News said Tom Homan should be sent to Minnesota — 20 minutes later, Trump did exactly that | CNN Business As MAGA media frets over the optics of the Alex Pretti shooting, Brian Kilmeade repeatedly floated a suggestion to the president over Fox’s airwaves on Monday.

Yet another example of the Fox-Trump feedback loop

It appears that this legend owns a little bookstore — and you can order books from him instead of Bezos. Link in next post.

Makes a ton of sense if you’re like Comer and just want all the conversation on Minnesota to be about fraud.

Granted that genie got out of the bottle the moment they decided against throwing Jonathan Ross under the bus
