In the coming years, “The right is destroying the country and it’s all the left’s fault” is going to be the default setting for 90% of the mainstream opinion industry, from the mushy center-left to the anti-MAGA right.

The good news is that reactionary centrists are engaging in some self-reflection on the excesses of the right-wing backlash to 'wokeness.' The bad news is that they are saying it is woke people's fault. archive.is/CaC56

My personal choice would be "The Collected Lyrics of the Fall"...in Mark E. Smith's voice.

Any airline that allows this shit gets an immediate “never flying THEM again” from me. If I was on this flight, I think I’d just stand up and start spreading the gospel of the Chicago Bears. I promise you, I could talk for just as long, and my voice is probably a hell of a lot louder than hers.

“Many on the left think it’s bad when journalists are harassed and prosecuted for displeasing the President. But at the Chat ‘n’ Chew in North Scraphollow, Kentucky, diners expressed a more nuanced view.”

Seth Moulton threw trans kids under the bus and blamed them for the 2024 election. These kids are vulnerable and deserve love—not to be scapegoated for the failures of the Democratic party. I will never stop fighting to protect trans kids.

The way that CBS News sneaks in right-wing framing in its categories like "gas prices & the environment" and "redistricting & democracy," but more than that, why the eff is "transgender athletes" is own whole category? www.cbsnews.com/projects/202...

This is from an unsolicited email I received from "Not the Bee," ridiculing the idea that Pete Buttigieg can be made to "seem like a man"...because he's gay, get it? Haw haw. I guess the current freakout over trans people doesn't mean that good old-fashioned gay-bashing has gone out of style.

This weekend, I wrote about the state murder of Renee Good, and the fascist claim that her murderer enjoys absolute immunity, and a common-sense reversal of qualified immunity that protects civilians from authorities, rather than the other way around. www.the-reframe.com/absolute-imm...

the-reframe.comAbsolute ImmunityAlignment with supremacy is a vile choice. Raising the natural costs for those who make that choice by putting first things first.

Can't wait to read more about this on page A23 of tomorrow's New York Times.

NEW: Jack Smith's team interviewed Giuliani, and when asked whether Rudy believed his own lies about election fraud, Jack Smith said he did not, and that neither did Donald Trump.

A must read.

I wrote about why the regrettable conclusions of Ezra Klein pissed me off so badly in the last couple weeks. On moral cowardice in an era that calls for clarity, and a popular political instinct to try to solve divisions of abuse by ignoring causes. www.the-reframe.com/eventually-y...

Can you hit repost? Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat. My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you share and follow me?

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 109 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo or video of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

If it were 2005 instead of 2025, Gavin Newsom would be chatting to Hugh Hewitt or Glenn Beck about how allowing same-sex marriage will inevitably lead to people marrying their household pets or favorite pieces of furniture.

The audience at last night's performance of "Gypsy" on Broadway was so heavily skewed to possessors of the Y chromosome that at intermission, the ushers started asking that some men use the women's room, to avoid delays. So some men did just that. And...nothing happened. Imagine that.
