The New York Times is appallingly obsessed with trying to force President Biden to resign. Even after the Supreme Court remade presidents into kings, their obsession still dominates the front page. Six days of this shit so far. Because of one bad debate performance. Deranged and vindictive.

We dive into the Rightβs plans to use government as an authoritarian tool to impose a reactionary vision on America.
The radical Right wasnβt ready in 2017. Next time, they will be.

You read that article without any further context, and you'd think the problem fell out of the sky. Not one word about Republicans. It's all due to the amorphous "parties" that gridlock. It's maddening.

society i feel, is a 30/30/40 split, (30 percent completely wacky conservative and dangerous nazis, 30 percent arguing fragmented left of liberals contending with liberals in power, and a 40 percent disengaged apolitical folks) and i would say for many, but not all in that 70 is true

If Biden is not reelected, Rs may well use the Comstock Act of 1873, which is still on the books but unenforced, to ban medication abortion and possibly surgical abortion. That is what they have threatened to do, so why would you doubt them? #voteπ

Adobe's blatantly monopolistic practices put the software company I started and ran at the time out of business, but the Obama administration, often advised by Google's CEO, was very monopoly-friendly. Grrrr.

When I started to be driven mad by rightwing gaslighting, I wished a wizard would make copious green smoke emerge from the mouth and nose of people whenever they were telling lies. Then I realized nothing would change. FOX News would call it "truth fog" and we'd be off to the races.

Isn't freedom of speech too free if influencers can just lazily lie us into fascism without consequences? Rightwing propaganda is to the First Amendment what AR15-empowered mass-shootings are to the Second.

I'm afraid that the masses will only truly wake up when every streaming service suddenly offers nothing but movies like "Violent Blessing: The Jesus Chronicles VI" starring Candace Owens and Kevin Sorbo. At that point, it will be too late.

The billionaire/Russia/rightwing media/Christo-fascism nexus is hideously well-funded, organized, and motivated. The only thing standing against it at this point is voters, most of whom arenβt paying attention, and whose national votes mostly only count in swing states.

My psychiatrist spouse's Freudian theory is that he had a nightmare about a battery and a shark, symbolizing clean energy and nature, two of Republicans' biggest hate objects. (Has he ever even been on a boat? He seems terrified of boats and water.)

One of the worst of mainstream media's fatal failures is the refusal to connect nefarious Republican activities with the way fascism has risen before here and elsewhere. Past is prologue.

The entire game: when you poll Americans about support for individual items in the Democratic platform, without identifying them s Democratic, they love them. But if they are branded as "Democrat" priorities, Americans reject them. At best, the mainstream media has failed. At worst...you decide.

The worst sin of the morally deadpan MSM is omission. Felonious Mook denying ever saying "lock her up" is such an easily proven lie, and NPR decided it was not worth mentioning, though every Repug is now saying you should never pursue your political opponents legally. FU NPR.

New pod: @atrupar.bsky.social and I take apart that sleazy WSJ hit piece on Biden's age. Another awful thing about this: Other news orgs elevated the issue by treating the story itself as a news hook. That's ridiculous.
Warning, lots of ranting in this one!

Good Celinda Lake interview with @gregsargent.bsky.social about Democrats capitalizing on the Trump conviction.
Mostly messaging focused, but touches on the lack of an echo chamber compared to Republicans and the need for a more aggressive response.

The pardon is arguably the worst thing in the Constitution. If you can pardon those who crime on your behalf, it's functionally indistinguishable from a self-pardon.
But Trump also wants a reverse-pardon, as in tweet about someone and they go to jail. www.nytimes.com/2024/06/03/o...
