What’s sinister is how the AG speaks of antifa as if it’s a “organization” — which of course it isn’t: it’s an idea.

Which means this statement is best understood as a declaration by the regime that it can give anyone it considers an enemy of the state an extrajudicial summary death sentence.
Bondi: "Bondi: "Just like we did with cartels, we are going to take the same approach, President Trump, with antifa -- destroy the entire organization from top to bottom. We are going to take them apart."

Yes. One of the most powerful drivers of elite political discourse right now is wishful thinking: We don't want what's happening to be happening, so we make up a story in which it in less bad and more fixable than it is.

All very understandable but it is false and not helping!
I think we all know this but a lot of us desperately want to believe otherwise. We assume that most people are fundamentally decent and that we should be able to find common ground even if we disagree. It's shocking to find so many who genuinely have nothing but hate in their hearts.
Seemingly nothing, that's why it's believable

in a way, hasn't this entire country turned out to have a metaphorical secret nazi tattoo that a lot of us weren't really aware of?
Why are you calling a queer person 'bro'?

At a certain point you start asking: what would even be all that different if the country were currently run by a hostile occupying force, lol

"No, we don't want a monarchy, we want a theocracy" is a not the flex they think it is.
Chip Roy: "The truth is the marxist, radicals, and Islamists the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a king and that king is Jesus. And the president has been willing to say it, & Charlie Kirk was willing to say it & he got killed for it."

utterly depressing that Nixon-level scandals are now a normal Friday night news drop, barely remarked upon, just another day in Trump’s America
Two more career prosecutors fired for refusing to indict NY AG Letitia James because they could not find probable cause to charge her. 🎁

Again, this is a liquidation of the union in all but letter of the law. This is reverse secessionism engineered by a central government.
NEW: White House announces it's going to pause, and potentially cancel, $11 billion in infrastructure funding (via the Army Corps of Engineers), specifically citing cities, like New York, represented or led by Democrats. More to come.

1)You may remember the articles criticizing liberal students for their hesitancy to make friends with conservative students—alleging that they were less open-minded than their conservative counterparts.

americans have been learning about "no kings" via alternative media. social media, tiktok etc. we dont need the msm anymore and progressives should be investing billions in building up our own alternative information beachheads instead of constantly begging the dying msm to "do better"
This from the great @sulliview.bsky.social on the media's anemic (or non-) coverage of the massive No Kings movement is such a great point
Stephen miller levels of sophistry. You are embarrassing yourself.
I bet you think people who don't like being around smokers are "bigots" too
You are actively pushing more people to be anti-AI with your ridiculous diatribe

It’s an insane world where militarizing your own civilian streets and ordering extrajudicial murders on the high seas doesn’t get you a prize.

My general belief is that Dems need to spend more time thinking about what they believe and less about what they think some imaginary swing voters want them to believe.

Political strategy will stem from an authentic set of beliefs.
This was revealing. Worth reading. The basic demand is that Coates spend less time thinking/writing his true feelings and more time playing political strategist. Klein asks him over and over him to do Dem strategy; he says no, over and over. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/28/o...

There's something fascinating about "accurate descriptions of me and my actions are an incitement to violence against me"

So instead of a conversation around why law enforcement seems to be repeatedly spreading misinformation slanted towards conservative narratives the conversation is about whether or not people are respectful enough to Kirk’s legacy on social media.
