Great messaging from the OR GOP that will totally resonate with people who will be going hungry. No notes.

democrats of all stripes should be rallying around kat abughazaleh asap. it doesnt matter where you stand ideologically. trying to jail dissenters is fundamentally unamerican and 100% fascist. democratic leaders at all levels should be making noise about it. you dont need a poll or focus group.
He went to one (1) BLM protest, so everyone can just chill.
The Platner discourse is pretty shrill, but his reddit posts paint a full picture of someone who though used awful language at times, also went to a BLM demo, supported Afghan refugees, and served in the military --like so many-- in part to access higher ed.

One way you can tell Platner has a lot of elite backing is that his promoters will not engage with criticism of him under any circumstances and instead promote their own idealized version of him, which has about as much to do with reality as Warhammer 40k

Whatever his policy accomplishments, they were made temporary and meaningless by this catastrophically bad judgment. Bungling the defense of democracy is Biden’s legacy, not infrastructure or labor.

the media class is so cooked. people rightly complain that journalists don't know history but they also don't seem to know journalism. the idf's relationship with nypd has been reported on many times over the last decade.

they are doing this provoke us so that they can accuse us of terroristic incitement for calling him a nazi
My god, this picture of Gregory Bovino, the CBP leader who now has to check in w a fed judge in Chicago each day to confirm he has not tear gassed any more children?

Naked Nazi iconography, of the guy who Miller and Lewandowski keep unleashing on our streets.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Excellent @leedrutman.bsky.social on how it is nearly impossible for moderation to matter much when electoral outcomes are almost perfectly polarized along one dimension - why we need to move toward a multi-party system leedrutman.substack.com/p/the-modera...
Found Marcy's sock puppet
Marcy Wheeler knows a million times more about the actual timeline/facts then Ken "Rudy-friendlyFBI stenographer" Dilanian writing PR for Carol Leonnig's book of unnamed people with axes to grind.
BTW. Is Garland on majority of SCOTUS or does he select judges in FL?
Someone tell Marcy.
GET REKT we were right all along

Part of reactionary centrism is pretending The Woke Left has been in charge of everything for 30 years
Funniest part of Cuomo talking point about how number of bad things like homelessness rate going up since he fled office is that he’s currently campaigning with and touting the partnership of the guy who oversaw that

Clean Energy World sat back and basically did nothing as one of its greatest champions was harassed out of public life. It makes me so goddamn mad.

Example 5 Million of why we should never accept claims from law enforcement without intense skepticism.

They do not provide “just the facts” (fun, relevant side-note: know who was a big proponent of and advisor to Dragnet? The LAPD).

Their claims OFTEN crumble, esp when self-serving.
A US Drug Enforcement Administration agent said the DEA made “high-level arrests” of 171 Sinaloa Cartel members across New England in August.

A Globe investigation found that many of the DEA’s targets were addicts, low-level dealers, shoplifters, and homeless people.
The DEA said they arrested 171 ‘high ranking’ Sinaloa Cartel members. A Spotlight investigation found that’s not true. - The Boston Globe
A Globe investigation found that the federal agency misrepresented the stature of its targets, claiming cartel ties at a time when the Trump administration is taking lethal military action against such groups.

You can lose your job now if you try to put away a would-be assassin of a man the tyrant doesn’t like. The slippery slope is just free fall now.
