Desperate for relevance after years of both-sides-ism on MAGA and pandering to the anti-woke with trolls like Bari Weiss, Pamela Paul, Douthat, NYT offers @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social its plastic pearls of wisdom, counseling (what else?) appeasement--after its smear-and-fear campaign against him #NYT

What's wrong with the reactionary, GOP-Lite, intellectually ossified, morally challenged neolib gerontocracy driving the Democratic party off a cliff, in one sentence. What we need is a massive dinosaur die-off, the political equivalent of the Chicxulub asteroid impact. #democrats #ChuckSchumer

Democracy is a burn pit, Trump is going full Orbán, and the NYT is "uneasy." Questions are being "stoked"! We're long past "questions." The cognitive dissonance induced by the chasm between the horror of our moment and the media acting as if it's just a hiccup is breaking the American brain.

"Class war and the percolating rage of ‘workers of the world’ are emerging as the lightning-rod social issues of the coming century. Growing income inequality...has created fertile soil for the apocalyptic politics of the disaffected.” - PYROTECHNIC INSANITARIUM (1999) #markdery #trump #maga

NY legislature Did the Right Thing by passing the FREEDOM TO READ ACT, which safeguards students' freedom of thought. But Kathy Hochul STILL hasn't signed it. Tell her to sign it NOW. www.governor.ny.gov/content/gove... New York isn't Kansas. Keep your #BOOKBANNING hands off our kids' minds, MAGAs.

Suffer the little children. QAnon MAGAs, true to their sexually deranged roots, are all in on ICE gestapo, concentration camps, the ethnic cleansing of the white-volk heimland. Deep-state cover-up of Dear Leader's sexual predations, though? That's a bridge too far.
