Standing athwart history yelling, WTF. Don Draper-tier ad writer. (minus the misogyny and most of the deeply internalized commitment to personal suffering)

Both the “black jobs” remark and using palestinian as a slur are hopefully clarifying as to actual Trump’s ideology and worldview, in contrast with the imaginary trump some people have built up in their heads as the memory of his administration has receded

Incredible to assert something like this for which there is no evidence, and for which in fact there is strong evidence that you’re wrong, and you include said evidence *in the same fucking sentence*

Go with "It's a sad day for America to have a major party nominee be a criminal and rapist (bait), especially when we're getting good news that we've added 20 million new American jobs since I took office (hook). That's why I'm ordering Trump be denied security briefings (bait again)"

Getting increasingly easy to see how @propublica.bsky.social was able to walk around corporate media to break the original Clarence Thomas corruption story. Open field.

students at Northeastern were arrested under the premise that they were shouting antisemitic slurs and now video is surfacing showing that the slurs in fact came from outside people holding Israeli flags while the pro-Palestine protesters tried to de-escalate i cannot imagine this kind of evil

Credit to @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social for this banger - he's made like one meme, he's an actual immigration policy expert and a brilliant person to follow for better understanding our garbage fire of an immigration system.

Talk of an Immigrant ‘Invasion’ Grows in Republican Ads and Speech

Once relegated to the margins of the national debate, the word is now part of the party’s mainstream message on immigration.

The challenges for universities right now parallel what's been happening in my field (journalism.) An industry with liberal (in the political theory sense) values is hated by the right. A deep desire to make peace with the right and maintain support from funders creates tension with the left.

One of Trump's top lawyers has already said the plan is to stay quiet on abortion through the campaign—then use the Comstock Act to impose a nationwide abortion ban in 2025. Not only a ban on medication abortion, but ALL abortions, in all 50 states. www.nytimes.com/2024/02/17/u...

We sketched out basically this concept when I started out doing local work, including tons of canvassing, 20 years ago. Proof that if you’re lazy and sit on your keister for long enough, someone will build it for you! Hashtag inspo! Srsly I love that they are doing this -

My only hope w/ RFK is that the moment people do the tiniest amount of research into him, they realize he's nuttier than a dump truck full of cashews.

They are, but you have to realize: Bibi LOVES that this happened. He funded Hamas, for decades, this is a perfectly fine outcome for him. Violent extremist assholes - both terrorists AND authoritarians - need each other. We either break that dynamic or they win.

Biden tried Hug Bibi for not-terrible reasons. Mainly, it worked before. But the reason it didn't work this time is simple. It's Trump, and the promise of being able to run out the clock. US polling looking close makes this exponentially worse. Global authoritarian threats amplify each other.

misleading thing about the Nevertheless Post is that Trump barely even has to wriggle to get out of jams, because for 50 years about every institution in American society has moved heaven and earth to stop him from experiencing any consequences whatsoever

a thing I’ve really woken up to in recent years is the extent to which capitalists refuse to pay employees fairly as an ideological matter. it’s not maximizing profit or reallocating capital. it’s not even greed, per se. it’s just power.
