My main observation from the last few hours of monitoring US social media is that Democrats are universally denouncing political violence and calling for calm while MAGA are escalating language and openly lusting for retribution against broad categories of people they identity as their enemies.

How do you miss the ball with that big club? It looks like he tried to hide it from everybody when he put the ball in his pocket, because everyone would’ve been looking the other direction. And somebody clapped. Maybe it was a paid clapper.

Mahatma Gandhi,
the 7 things that
will destroy us:
"Politics w/o principle;
Pleasure w/o conscience;
Wealth w/o work;
Knowledge w/o character;
Business w/o morality;
Science w/o humanity; &
Worship w/o sacrifice."
That dark result
sounds a lot like
Trumpism, to me.

www.nytimes.com/athletic/632... MLB made a change that players say shrank the strike zone — and caught them by surprise
Great story. It makes perfect sense in the context of robot strike-calling: MLB told the umpires, get better or we’ll take strike-calling away from you. Umpires got better.

Note to Dem leaders: If you consider how much the political landscape has changed in two months and you’re calculating your political tactics because you think you know what the world will look like in fall 2026, much less 2028, you’re deluding yourself.

🚨 UPDATE: After humiliating the U.S. on the world stage, Trump just jetted off to Florida—to golf.
He’s now spent 35% of his presidency on vacation, burning through $20M+ in taxpayer dollars. The laziest "president" in U.S. history.
