There is simply no equivalent, not even close, of this anywhere on the center or far left. There is no ‘both sides’ here, media.

"Together, the messages reveal a culture where racist, antisemitic and violent rhetoric circulate freely — and where the Trump-era loosening of political norms has made such talk feel less taboo among those positioning themselves as the party’s next leaders."

Can't call them fascists?

I’m clear my context before every task. I’ve tried making my CLAUDE.md clear, but this kind of thing still happens.

It’s a lot worse lately too.

But everyone was applauding.

The crop tool symbol is based on this actual physical tool, sometimes called an adjustable enlarging easel. Its a piece of equipment you might find in the dark room of an actual photo shop.
