I wrote up my analysis of what Ross's movements and actions reveal about whether or not he had a "reasonable belief that he was in imminent danger of death or serious bodily injury" (the legal standard). I list 7 crucial moments that suggest he did not. asharangappa.substack.com/p/friday-rou...

Mockler: So all of our politicians are incredibly risk averse. So they're not out there taking risks or trying to do new things. But, while they're being risk averse, they're also just purity testing everybody and finger wagging them.

As someone who spent many hours listening to Kirk’s show on AM radio, I would say that he made Rush Limbaugh seem like Walter Cronkite by comparison, in terms of rhetorical tone and empirical rigor. The subtext of every show was “You don’t hate the left enough.”

Democrats cannot defeat authoritarian fascism without an agenda that stands squarely on the side of working people.
We need a pro-worker, pro-democracy, anti-establishment movement that will take on oligarchy like never before.

Legacy media reporters are increasingly muzzled and the wider editorial tilt that falls outside their control often makes the public distrust them, which is unfortunate. But independent media that takes an openly anti-Musk, anti-Trump stance is growing and will skyrocket under this administration

Dak Prescott might be a good enough quarterback to win a Super Bowl, but we'll never find out, just like we never found out if Tony Romo was good enough to win a Super Bowl. All we know is that Jerry Jones isn't a good enough GM to win a Super Bowl.

Things become clear once you realize Nazi Germany was not exceptional, that Nazis were not uniquely evil and that their behavior in the final stages (1938–1945) was a natural outcome of far-right policies left unchecked.
This was the lesson of Holocaust survivors. We ignored it.
