Mamdani getting Trump to admit he's a fascist on live television is a win imo

This kind of thing gets read as Trump being gullible (agrees with whoever he last spoke with) but I think it's more about him being a coward. He knows Zohran is popular, and despite his protestations he knows he isn't. Easy to talk big online, another story when the guy is standing in front of him
Trump on Mamdani: "I think he's gonna surprise some conservative people, actually. And some very liberal people he won't surprise because they already like him."

I don’t think we’ve spent enough time considering the positive side of having a president with dementia.

As a leftie I’m ghoulishly amused at this because of how terrible the optics would be for us. Donald’s two friends, Jeff and Zohran,
aged 79 and a half, Donald Trump made his second ever friend.

one of the big lessons re conservatives and especially conservative christians is that they are more satisfied by being comparatively better off than others rather than being better off in absolute terms.
they’re perfectly happy to lose if you lose more.

There are a lot of conservstives screaming "THIS IS WHAT GOD WANTS" as their lives get measurably worse.

Minor point but George Washington didn’t even hang the Whiskey Rebellion conspirators after they were sentenced to death for actual treason.
The President’s call for the murder of Americans is simply un-American. When I say there is no place in our country for political violence, I mean it. It doesn’t matter who says it or why. There is no justification. Every American should condemn this in no uncertain terms.

Should be a scandal that the Vice President of the United States is yukking it up in an interview with Breitbart, a racist gutter site that used to have a special tag for "Black Crime"
JD Vance: "He's fundamentally a humanitarian, and we've got 8 peace deals at this point. We're working on number 9 and number 10. And I think if he gets number 10, purely for mathematical harmony the Nobel Prize should be awarded to Donald J Trump."

There is already a party that is giving bigots everything they want; they've got it all locked up. Anyone so devoted to their bigotries that they hold their votes contingent over it is going to vote for that party.
Differentiate to win.
Don't differentiate to lose.
This is very simple marketing.

The good news is we don't have to make these trades. Just nominate somebody willing to stand up for everyone. Not just because it's the right thing to do; it's a much more compelling message. It's a *winning* message. Trans people would very much like to beat Republicans; they're telling you how.

You might not like it that trans people aren't willing to sacrifice themselves but a lot of them (and many allies) won't. You can't say you don't accept people holding their votes contingent; that's exactly what the transphobes who you're trying to win over by appealing to their bigotry are doing.

Actually the question that occurs to me is "will you nominate him anyway even after years of people telling you they won't vote for him if you do, and then when you lose as you were warned you would, will you blame not yourselves but the people who warned you."
If he ends up being the Democrat on the presidential ticket in 2028, you would rather vote republican or not vote at all because of this issue?? That’s the million dollar question. Not the hill I would die on and def not worth losing an election over!

i try not to get too upset about the way the attention economy moves because i know i do it too but the federal goons never left. they went from 10 raids a day to 1-2 because they don’t have the capacity to do this shock and awe campaign nationwide. but they’re still here
People have largely tried to act like ICE/CBP failed and retreated from LA and that is completely untrue. If it weren’t for the relentless coverage of places like @lataco.bsky.social these stories would be completely under the radar.
ICE has been raiding my neighborhood and surrounding ones for the last couple of weeks now. They commandeered my local church (against the pastor's will) for a staging site and raided supermarkets, parks, Goodwills, bus stops, you name it.
The national media's been silent. So has @mayor.lacity.gov.

Pro-GenAI PR is built on the assumption that CEOs should not take the fall for their bad investments, of course we should accept and adapt to their shitty decisions, it's "inevitable," you have to learn how to live with it, it's not like we're gonna let Zuckerberg lose even a single dime from this.
