By contrast, JB Pritzker told me that people should flood the No Kings protests precisely in order to let the American people know that something is deeply amiss.

More Dems should be doing this, to send the message widely that we are in real trouble right now.

Trump can't deliver the lower costs he promised. All he has is cruelty and revenge.

Cuomo is unable to confront him because they share the same billionaire donors. Just look at his statement last night.

I will stand up for this city and with our Attorney General.

The minimalistic ascetic is cost effectively interchangeable for corporate. It's a damn pox on all of us.

I went into a supermarket recently and was pleasantly transported back to the 90s. I was super sad upon exiting into the current.

Maybe we're just old

Opposing fascism is a basic obligation in a free society (and even unfree societies can oppose fascism).

Labelling opposition to fascism "terrorism" is a clear marker of where you stand.

And as the article says, letting this frame stand means giving up effective tools to oppose rising fascism.

“The truth is that antifa groups have been responsible for some of the most prescient & impactful organizing countering the far-right during the last decade”

Amazing corrective to liberal punditry abt antifa from Matthew Whitley (& basically the thesis of my book) theintercept.com/2025/09/27/t...

What Liberals Get Wrong About Trump’s Executive Order on Antifa

Liberals dismiss antifa as just an idea. That opens up the activists, researchers, and organizers to a real risk of persecution.

You gotta have a brain worm to think taking this angle with David bleeping Simon wouldn’t backfire

Juno Rylee Schultz @junoryleejournalism.com · 2d

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.
