Oh it’s not appropriate for your program to air the president wearing a crown and shitting on American citizens?

You’ll talk about it in euphemisms? Maybe call it the “crown video” and ignore the shitting part? Because that’s appropriate?

Tell me, was it appropriate for the president to do it?

It doesn't matter. MAGA puts out the talking points for the day, & it gets regurgitated ad nauseam. We won today. That's what matters.

Standing room only on the Green Line in Washington, DC as protestors head to the “No Kings” protest.

Person behind me: “The trains weren’t even this packed for the Beyoncé concert”

The entire train is full as more people pack on. Follow this thread for updates!

The flew the entire military leadership in so they could see for themselves that the Secretary of Defense is a mouthbreathing dipshit and the Commander in Chief is a senile, weak old man who might keel over at any moment.

Ta-Nehisi Coates understands. Klein doesn't.

It's really that simple.

i love this part and i think it very much shows the difference in depth of thinking between someone like Klein, desperately fighting in the here-and-now and arguing to win a battle with compromise, versus Coates' position that he is a soldier in a long war.

Frankly, as a journalist, people in power *should* hate me.

I don’t understand people who get in this game to kiss the ass of the powerful, instead of staying with their foot up the ass of the powerful
