My family walked through this very entrance to the White House in 2023, now being destroyed to build Trump’s Golden Temple to his vanity.

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement.

Check out how tiny the crowds were:

Philly: 200
DC: "several hundred"
Boston: 500
Austin: 1,000
Houston: 2,000

Everything leads back to Fox News in our misbegotten era. I think other media followed their lead, so if they were covering it so intensely, it must be big. I mean, they represent "real America" after all.

Chris Murphy: "This is a country that's falling apart because Trump is in the middle of an authoritarian takeover. We're not on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We're in the middle of it ... I have no moral obligation to vote for a budget that literally funds the destruction of our democracy"

Where we stand, in long arc of history:

-Story on left, adding race as a factor when that favors white people.

-Story on right, banning race as a factor when that favors non-whites.

I often complain about NYT headlines and story-play. But these are strong. Including "If Court Guts 1965 Law."

Between this and the news networks refusing the Pentagon deal, are we seeing the first murmurings of solidaristic opposition to Trump? Has his popularity fallen low enough that institutions have actually started to think strategically about protecting their interests?
Just received from a colleague: looks like Penn is going to join the universities refusing the extortionary Trump "compact". I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win
