They’re five-year-olds! He’s sharing videos of a bunch of happy five-year-olds in order to harm them! It’s inhuman, we must rid ourselves of these men
Okay, now it’s Republicans’ turn to kick out the most prominent rapist in their party
Our media will of course learn no lessons from this, but the initial ICE narrative about the two murders it committed here in Minneapolis was 100% false, slanderously depicting the victims as aggressors attempting to kill federal agents.
Literally zero reason to believe ICE here. Zilch. None.
I’m probably biased but it’s starting to feel like the conflict over ICE is going to be the defining feature of Trump’s second term.
Will America have an unaccountable paramilitary terror force serving at the whim of the regime, or will we be a nation of laws?
The solution is consequences, by the way. And that doesn’t mean “losing elections” or “public ridicule.” Consequences that are real, that wrongdoers and liars know could happen to them, that bad men genuinely fear facing
You have to admit, fighting a full-blown war in the Middle East, but only when markets are closed, is a real innovation in the history of warfare
The correct statement for Dems to give is this:
It is a relief that the Court reaffirmed the foundational principle that anyone born in America is unquestionably American. But the close split on this simple constitutional question reveals a body corrupted beyond repair by authoritarian bullying.
If Platner must crash and burn and take the US Senate and US judiciary with him, can he please, for the love of god, at least take Ryan Grim, the Pod Save bros, and Morris Katz too
There was an era when this would have been one of the biggest scandals in modern political history. That era was five years ago
Whatever their supposed mission, ICE has become an army of paramilitary irregulars, tasked with perpetrating violence in the general direction of immigrants and anyone who defends them.
That’s what the masks are about, they’re a weapon of terror. Secret police thugs, not accountable to anyone.
So Dan Moraff and Morris Katz, two slick political consultants who thought they knew everything, saw a video of a gruff-sounding oysterman, and decided, without further evidence, to lure him into politics by telling him he was a “hero of the movement” who was going to “lead the revolution.” Insane
Such a pathetic and petty way to ring in the nation’s 250th anniversary. No sense of the diversity of the American experience. No understanding of history or our civic heritage.
Just blind antagonism against a group that barely exists, in a cheap mimicry of historical reactionaries.
Betraying American law to help… Iran
The reflecting pool mess started funny but there's absolutely nothing funny about the DOJ securing an indictment of a man for touching a pond because the president made up a conspiracy theory about vandals that it needed to validate. That's totalitarian
This is why Democrats across the spectrum have been foolish to declare victory - this needs to be understood as an ongoing assault, barely survived this time, and plans need to be made to push it back for good.
We’re living through the dissolution of the American system of government and it’s essentially gone unnoticed by the entire elite class, because everything Trump says takes on a patina of ridiculousness and unseriousness
Very easy to feel schadenfreude about this. Every time you do I recommend you think back to the awful Supreme Court term and remind yourself it is absolutely vital that Platner win. You don’t have to like the guy but we have to carry him over the line.
Does Professor Wurman want to delineate which of the law students he teaches are from unassimilated groups that lack the habits of mind that make constitutional government possible?
I think what's obvious here is that when he's talking about "vat-grown people" who are not like "real human beings" he is talking about HIMSELF AND HIS FRIENDS.
That's why these guys' drive to find a Real Man's Candidate is so irrepressible, it's a reflection of their own insecurity.
It’s really hard to overstate how certain the various institutional actors were that Trump was cooked in the immediate aftermath of Jan. 6.
It informed so many bad choices, like Pelosi not moving to impeach day-of. Everyone trying to make everyone else do anything controversial.
my policy priority is revenge
My suspicion is that Instagram is far more responsible for the upsurge in antisemitism than Israeli war crimes in Gaza. Frankly a lot of the daily antisemitism I’ve encountered has nothing to do with Gaza, just jokes about Jews and money, Jews controlling everything, etc.
Call me crazy but probably the first step of Project 2029 should be "Reverse every part of Project 2025 and encode it all in law"????
Shouldn't that be the bare minimum???
I will reiterate that Democrats should lean into the idea of an AMERICAN RESTORATION.
It’s not only appropriately sweeping, but implicitly conveys that Trump has betrayed and undermined the American system in some fundamental way, rather than merely offering a competing policy vision.
Two things we need to internalize, quickly:
1. People are getting an ENORMOUS number of their ideas about the world from short-form video
2. These apps aggressively promote some of the worst ideas in the world because they’re reliable emotional triggers, the only criterion that matters for the app
