So many Dem wins not making national news, local wins showing it was up and down ballot. Folks calling my show reporting about county boards, town councils, school boards.

Here’ one from Central NY, big county encompassing Syracuse, flipped to blue.

Post-Trump Nuremberg trials is the moderate position.
A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

It's been 45 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.
Holy shit I did not realize this was about USAID.

What kind of absolute ghoul hears "six hundred thousand dead in ten months" and thinks "muh money."

Jesus Christ on a cracker what is wrong with people.

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position
He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

Of course I'm worried about socialism. I mean, just imagine if Mamdani one day becomes President and nationalizes industry, imposes historic tax hikes, goes after the media, builds a secret national police force, militarizes the country, and sends people to camps.

FWIW, birthplace is a historical fact. AGAB is a doctor’s best guess.

Even aside from sex changes, intersex conditions would dictate that sometimes the doctor gets it wrong, even if we concede a binary.

This is just an assertion of their bigotry as fact.
I spit on the reputation of the U.S. Supreme Court, not that it can get much more degraded than it has already become by the repulsive actions of its disgusting GOP members.

You can hear the transphobic sneer in these words.

like 70% of discourse is

1. making up a guy to be mad at

2. making up a guy to be mad defending
There is a certain class of person on the Internet who makes arguments in the vein of "*I* don't believe this absurd position but there is a moron standing just out of frame who *does* and we must respect their feelings," and I am tired of it.

We’ve officially reached the “even the small to medium outlets ask to license footage and photographs for free and say they will credit me,” stage in journalism.

Wow, I got shot in the face with a tear gas canister and got like a dozen kinetic projectiles but PLEASE yeah here you are!
