‘no kings’ showed trump that he is the single most hated person on the entire earth, quite literally, and that knowledge is seriously fucking with his warped and rapidly deteriorating mind

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.

Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

I’m not saying they’re Nazis. I’m saying being a Nazi isn’t a deal-breaker for them. I’m saying at a minimum they’re Good Germans.

Either we’re concerned about the lack of detailed policy answers & access to the media, or we’re not. But it can’t be that we only clutch pearls about these things for the one pro-democracy party we have left in 🇺🇸. Democracy can’t survive that. We need to do better.

Reminder: We spent YEARS reading thousands and thousands of articles on the Tea Party and how it was a true expression of the American people's will, and it never mounted anything nearly as big as Saturday's No Kings rallies. [1/3]

The networks took the much smaller Tea Party movement so seriously they broadcast a Tea Party rebuttal to Obama’s 2011 SOTU on top of the normal GOP one.

Again, the double standard on how 🇺🇸 politics & the two parties are covered has become so glaring that it's hard not to draw conclusions. An easy way to avoid these criticisms would be for this to not keep happening over & over & over again on every issue/topic/event.

Remember April 2009 when about 250,000 people took to America’s streets in Tea Party rallies and the media was like “oh man, the Dems are in trouble?” Approximately 28X as many people took to the streets to protest Trump yesterday. Didn’t even make the NYT front page.

Seth Cotlar @sethcotlar.bsky.social · Apr 10

In April of 2009 I observed the Tea Party rally in Salem. As this front page story says, there were a couple hundred people there. This past weekend in Salem there were roughly 2-3000 people at the Hands Off rally. Yet the Tea Party coverage seemed to take that event far more seriously.

This Trump government shutdown is not like his last one.

That was about building a wall that Mexico was supposed to pay for.

This is about raising health care costs for millions of Americans.

It’s time to end the shutdown and fix the Republican-made health care crisis.

When I had a day job, sometimes on the way home I used to drive past a garage with a sign that said WE ANALIZE ENGINES. I was always tempted to stop and watch them do it, but, alas, I never did.

Why does the oligarchy love Trump?

Yes, the tax cuts — but that’s not all.

Watch.
