Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

CW: protester being struck in the head by a pepper ball
Footage I took earlier of the moment Reverend David Black, a regular protester outside of the Broadview Detention Center, was shot in the head with a pepper ball by ICE agents on the roof of the facility.

The perfect encapsulation of Politico.
"Of course the White House is lying, but it's a pretty savvy lie, so let's see how it plays?"
It's all a fun little game with no stakes to them. It's like they're recapping episodes of Real Housewives.

This short passage from a Politico afternoon newsletter captures a huge amount of the advantage gained by lying at scale and the why the DC press corps remains wired for the GOP.

Can we agree baseball isn’t all about analytics? Chemistry and team spirit used to matter. Mets season is an example of percentages and payrolls not = wins. Keep a player like David Robertson who wanted more than anything to stay w/ the Mets. Keep Iglesias. Butto. Low cost, big heart. #lgm #metssky
