Every western country has absurd news bias that favors the ruling classes and yet Sheinbaum, Lula, Petro, and Sanchez were able to build leftist majorities. We don't need media hegemony to win and it may even be harmful to have our every delusion verified that way.
Are the same people insisting on the tactical discipline to commit for Newsom this far out also on board with Platner for similar transparently obvious tactical reasons?

I'm gonna guess no.

While the internet and social has been amazing in a lot of ways, it also allowed those most easily influenced, those most detached from reality, and those willing to grift anything to all find each other.

It's been catastrophic

I cannot believe we're having another round of "I'd vote for Hitler if he was running against Trump" discourse.

I miss when you could post Brave Norman Rockwell Townsperson and the caption could be, like, “R.E.M was wrong to leave ‘Fretless’ off of Out of Time” instead of “The secret police should stop murdering people.”

A real opposition party would make something out of this, even if it was to proclaim that they will never issue contracts to a firm that bows and scrapes to this authoritarian regime.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”

There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

Holy shit. Ro Khanna fucking did it. He just went up there and read the six redacted names into record and threw down the gauntlet, challenging conservatives to join the fight against the "Epstein Class." Did we just see our generations' "Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last?" moment?

this makes sense once you remember that Klein is, by the nature of his profession and career trajectory, friends with the Epstein class.

A smart tactic for any Democrat that wants to win federal office is to promise to try every ice and dhs official for cruel and unusual punishment
ICE officials under a judge’s order to clean up squalid conditions on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza detained migrants on a secret floor where they decided that ruling didn’t apply, attorneys for the Trump administration said Monday.

ICE Moved Detainees to Previously Undisclosed Floor of 26 Federal Plaza
A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to reduce overcrowding and squalid conditions at a Manhattan holding room. Months later, he finds ICE merely shifted floors.

I shoveled my neighbors sidewalks twice during this snowstorm (they're all in their 70s and 80s) and was gifted a car chargeable heated ice scraper for my car.
