Any American medium that fails to cover the largest protests in American history is failing in the basic mission of informing the public about the facts.

Trump long ago established that he’s a racist to the bone. He and his father wouldn’t rent to Black people. He said, “Laziness is a trait in Blacks.” He said some white supremacists in Charlottesville were “very fine people.”

Yep—Trump Is Still the Most Racist President of the Last 100 Years
His racism defines nearly everything he does. And it is making the United States of America a cruel, sick, mean place.

If the Trump administration wanted to oppose antisemitism, they could start with themselves. They are trivializing the concept of antisemitism, making it meaningless — and that is a terrible antisemitic action.

Trump is illegally arresting, jailing, & deporting people with no due process. We must hold the Administration accountable for these illegal acts and demand Kilmar’s release. Today it’s him, tomorrow it could be anyone else.

The weeks of performative “resistance” from those in my party were limited to undignified antics.
Voting to shut the government down will punish millions or risk a recession.
I disagree with many points in the CR, but I will never vote to shut our government down.

i was just complaining about this to a friend a few days ago. the punditry is obsessed with this retreat to discourse, where there is an inability to examine the actual phenomenon itself. instead, they engage in language games or treat politics as a question of definitions
seeing a lot of too-cool-for-it takes pointing out that the US has backed awful dictators before. it's certainly true that this country has blood on its hands, but this is another example of pundits treating trump like a literary foil instead of an actual president who is doing bad things.

i am going to put a finer point on this: executive orders are not laws. and they certainly are not royal decrees. they are interpretations of existing law for the purposes of enforcement. the fact that so many people are treating them as laws is actually driving me a bit insane.
i mean, the president's executive order isn't a goddamn law! as far as this doctor is concerned, who cares what the president says!

Keep your eye on the ball. JD Vance is laying the groundwork for Trump to defy court orders, weaken the courts, and dismantle checks and balances on the presidency.
