the "more tolerant of nonsense" has fried the media's ability to report on him. everything's a horse race but one of the horses is wandering around a hospital (www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhkZ...) ... so they're stuck
truly the soft bigotry of low expectations
cannot figure out why repeatedly threatening, embarrassing, or firing those who distract from his all-encompassing efforts to maximally own his enemies would not produce broad popularity
as expected the former finance guy is trying to cut his way to growth
This is not good.
Customers: We sure didn't like how you handled DEI and ICE
Wealthy CEO: Yes, but what if we had a reputation for wealth
a group text, an AI chatbot, a social media platform -- apparently they’re all like vacuums ... expose them to the world, and they quickly fill with slurs
there's no way to prevent this, says newspaper when this regularly happens
they said immigrants -- legal or not -- were poisoning the blood of America, so eliminating the "poison" is their stated goal
it's only an "accident" more haven't been killed -- if it wasn't for courts, the law, and regular folks holding them back
honestly, is there some sort of weekend at bernie's thing happening w dems, where Republicans are actually speaking on their behalf, just off-screen?
Just insane they always default to comity, even when faced with fascism
Orwell is so 180-degrees from that quote that it comes across like this

I actually spit out my coffee
Just a parade of horribles
Miller thinks human rights are privileges -- because some are not human.
"The calamity of the rightless is not that they are deprived of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness [...] but that they no longer belong to any community whatsoever." ~ Hannah Arendt
this would absolutely doom her chances 1000 times over

“At the end of the day, she didn’t sound any better than some of these ultra-conservative people who were demeaning Black and Brown folk on a regular basis,” said Rev. Rodney Sadler, a Bible scholar and longtime community activist in Charlotte. “It felt like a betrayal of the utmost.” Cunningham’s comments proved so problematic for Sadler that he said he realized that she was “no longer worthy of being our representative” and he had to run against her. “It drove me to a point of saying, ‘She needs to go, and she needs to go now,’” the 58-year-old pastor, who works at Charlotte’s Union Presbyterian Seminary, told Bolts.
this guy challenged a sitting Democratic lawmaker in yesterday's primary, angered by her pro-ICE vote, and he ousted her 70% to 22%.

folks are focusing on the transphobia of it all, but it's just a crazy statement on its face: "without defining what a woman is, fraud cannot be defined" ??
as a contrapositive, that'd mean "If you can define fraud, then you can define what a woman is"
funny how the correct "popularist" take just keeps changing, as organizers/activists do the hard work of actually persuading people

very true; it's just crazy that ICE will continue on regardless of its popularity because of all its funding
it's a permanent drag on the GOP wherever it appears
has there been anything less politically popular than ICE?
like Trump, it destroys everything it touches yet will keep sticking around regardless
By the way, Democrats have now flipped 27 legislative seats in Trump 2.0.
Republicans are still stuck at zero.
Even in 2017-18, the GOP managed to flip a few. This time, just a goose egg, despite several good chances.
With Dallas early vote now in, Crockett's path to victory looks gone. She needed 80%+ of the vote there to make up for Talarico running up margins in Austin, San Antonio, and the rural + western counties. Only got 60%.
2026 - 2020 swing hasn't changed all night
