Peak Trump Administration

BATTLE AWAITS. HAVE SOMETHING TO EAT.

Here's the thing: The mere possibility of investigations and prosecutions is itself designed to achieve Trump/Stephen Miller's goals. “The threat to do it is itself a form of intimidation. It’s intended to chill lawful political expression.” 6/6 newrepublic.com/article/2009...

I do not have to be ashamed of America, America needs to have shame before me.

News --> Steve Bannon tells me he fully expects Trump to use the Texas ICE office shooting as the hook to unleash law enforcement on liberal immigration groups by connecting political violence to anti-ICE rhetoric. This is going to get ugly. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2009...

Their place in history is "settled," just not how Hegseth wants it to be. Wounded Knee was not a "battle." It was a massacre, enthusiastically conducted by US Army soldiers and officers. This is the equivalent of honoring those responsible for the war crimes at My Lai.

“If an employee’s speech can cause disruption such as workplace disharmony, impeded performance or impaired working relationships, the university’s interest in the efficiency of its operations may outweigh the employee’s rights of free expression.”

“The Administration refused to present evidence or specific charges against the men sent to El Salvador. This was the point of using the Alien Enemies Act. With a Title 8 case or a 240 proceeding, they get to contact a lawyer and see a judge. All that gets set aside with the Alien Enemies Act.”

The raging misogyny was always a tell that SV was never the liberal nirvana people keep proclaiming it was/is. But who listens to women, eh?

“None of his friends believed that the “ANTI-ICE” inscription could possibly be sincere, feeling such a serious political statement was anathema to who Jahn was. His humor was deeply ironic, often offensive and aggressive to the point of alienation. “He was most certainly an edgelord, an irony guy”

The Dallas ICE shooter sounds like the Charlie Kirk shooter, the (unsuccessful) Trump PA rally shooter, and Luigi the healthcare CEO shooter, in that all are very online young men, whose politics seem more angry, muddled, meme-drenched anti-establishment than falling along clear left-right lines.

BREAKING: YouTube Folds to Dangerous Far-Right Radicals

to me, the “column” is less a form than an opportunity (and a challenge). you’re telling me i have as much space as i’d like to make an argument about anything i’d like to an audience inclined to pay close attention? well let’s see if they’ll read 2000 words on democratic legitimacy. (gift link)

It’s rare that one clip can both be grounds for a massive corporate lawsuit and grounds for the 25th Amendment at the same time.

AWKWARD

it’s dynamics like this one (and specifically this one itself) that create the space for 5-4 to exist and thrive. someone’s gotta be out here telling the truth about these neo-confederate ghouls

Bodies that can’t birth bodies should have no opinion on this subject

No amount of better messaging, being nicer on social media, or having modest political goals was ever going to work to stop this backlash because the world's richest and most powerful people have all decided they don't want us to exist. How do you even fight blatant lies like this?

“In a formal White House announcement they asserted that the use of Tylenol during pregnancy and folate deficiency in pregnant people could contribute to the condition. No other scientific or public health body agrees.”

With Dems Like These ...

The White Supremacy is the Point

AWKWARD

There’s no conservative civil rights icons. They’re the ones who killed MLK. Democrats will never admit this, because they’re cowards.

This is What Weaponized Ableism Looks Like

Another Forever War

Asking journalists to sign a pledge not to disclose anything the Pentagon doesn’t want you to see just as Pentagon is: -sending troops into US cities -illegally murdering alleged low level drug runners -possibly preparing to invade Venezuela

Assasination Nation

If you're organizing, but you can't seem to keep any Black or brown people in your political community, you might ask yourself why that is. Or better yet, ask them why that is and if they can be bothered, sit there and listen to them while they tell you about yourself. It won't be comfortable.

OPINION: "The progress of so many African Americans despite an omnipresent backdrop of systemic resistance should be considered a point of pride — not something we should cover up and pretend never happened." — Inquirer columnist Jenice Armstrong

I signed the Harper's letter to show I was brave enough to stand up to the left on free speech. But I've decided that I'm not brave enough to stand up to the right about it.

Canceling Jimmy Kimmel show is not about Charlie Kirk, just like going after universities was not about antisemitism and occupying DC was not about fighting crime.

I’m worried we may have hit peak stupid

When we warned about authoritarianism-canceling two of the four late night hosts because Trump doesn’t like them, that’s what we meant.
