Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis suggests outlines of an emerging Dem coalition organized around anti-Trump *and* affordability politics. This is doing serious damage to the MAGA coalition. Its success this week undermines the idea of a big Trump 2024 realignment. 7/

Free speech is when I encourage people to send you death threats; hate speech is when you tell me to stop.
Can you hear the words coming out of your mouth, Megan?

Yes, the guy who received so many threats because of your own actions he had to flee to Europe isn’t the real victim. No. You are, because people called you out.

The war in Gaza ended 6 to 9 months ago. It’s been pure genocide—a straight-up slaughter-and-starvation campaign—since then. Under no circumstances should anyone pretend that Netanyahu is still fighting a “war” just so that Trump can get a photo op and say he “ended” it.

Do better, corporate media.
Trump’s Gaza peace plan does not resolve all the issues, @yair-rosenberg.bsky.social argues. "But Trump is counting on the force of his personality, the exhaustion of the parties, and the momentum created by the initial agreement to ultimately end the war entirely."
The Gaza War Isn’t Over Yet. But It Could Be Soon.
Trump may have ended the Gaza hostage crisis. Can he end the Gaza war?

You have your talking point, MAGA. Go get 'em! Using the term "Illegal alien" will do it every time.

@governorwalz.mn.gov Can we get in on this?
California, Oregon and Washington announced yesterday they’ve created their own health alliance, saying the CDC has become “a political tool that increasingly peddles ideology instead of science.”

New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Delaware, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island have now done the same.

This is a good article, wirth reading, for sure. I have 2 minor quibbles with it. The term is ‘disinformation’ which is deliberate lying. The other is the faint implication that BlueSky is the other side of the coin from Xitter-it’s not. But everyone should still verify their sources before posting.
Offline, LA residents report normalcy. Trump says there’s mass carnage.

This article is good - it describes the alternate realities on divergent platforms. The feeling of not being able to trust your eyes.

But it uses the word “misinformation” and that’s not it.

Donald Trump is more harmful to America than any foreign terrorists have ever been. He has radicalized half of the population against their own family and friends. This is way beyond what our enemies could ever wish upon us. I despise everything he is.
