"The current level of political animosity is exactly what one would expect to see if an extremist faction attempted to rescind the hard-earned rights of the vast majority of the country’s citizens." There are not enough exclamation points to convey how I felt reading this paragraph
Screenshot of article which reads: From this perspective, the “both sides” frame falls apart. The prob-
lem is not that the parties are divided. The problem is the existential 
threat that a reempowered ethnonationalist strain poses to pluralistic 
U.S. democracy writ large. The current level of political animosity is 
exactly what one would expect to see if an extremist faction attempted 
to rescind the hard-earned rights of the vast majority of the country’s 
citizens. The only way to re-oppress most of a country is to use anti-
democratic and authoritarian tactics. And the only way to oppose those 
tactics is to push back as a population and clearly reject them. This is 
the argument happening in the United States, and its pathology is not 
anger—it is the movement to undermine a generation of rights.

The overwhelming right wing sentiment is that COVID was an engineered bioweapon that was also harmless. Trump overreacted to it by shutting down the country, then engineered a drive to create a vaccine that was the real bioweapon that killed millions, and it's Joe Biden's fault.

Declaration (has been made public) from 16 year old when she was in Dilley:
I don’t understand why we have to be here at Dilley. My siblings and I don’t have
deportation orders. Our immigration cases were closed, and we all have socials, work
authorization, and real IDs.
15. No one ever explained my rights to me here. I asked for them, and ICE told me
they don’t know what our rights are.
16. When we first arrived to Dilley, we signed a form about Flores. But ICE told me
we don’t qualify for Flores. They didn’t tell me why.
17. Most of the time, the food here is horrible. The water is also horrible. Even though
there are filters, they don’t work.
18. The lights are on all night, you cannot sleep, and the bed is hard.
19. Medical seems incompetent. My sister and my dad go a lot. The nurses supposedly
consult with the doctor, but we never see the doctor when we go to the medical unit.
20. My dad has a problem with his spine. In California, he was getting injections and
special medicine for his back pain because it’s so bad. Here, they just give him ibuprofen,
and this causes his stomach to hurt. My dad also had an infection where he was peeing
blood here, and he never saw a doctor for that.
21. My youngest sister has gone to the doctor a lot, but they just say she’s all good.
She has allergies to artificial food coloring. Her mouth turns red and is irritated and dry
when her allergies act up. This has been happening after eating.

It's obviously not on the same scale as what Elon has done, but everyone involved in Trump's deportations should be viewed as mass murderers for all the people they've sent back to countries where they face a high risk of death. And of course there are all the other murders here in the U.S.

Really really enjoyed this interview with Mamdani - as always, a masterclass in communication. His answer on creating a big tent party is both excellent and low key savage. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/18/m...
There are moderates in the Democratic Party who've called to expel the D.S.A. from the Democratic coalition. And I want to flip that around. Is there room in the party you want to create for moderate Democrats?
Yes. Full stop. I'm not interested in expelling people from parties. I think that's what you do when you can't win the debate within the party.
Even if they work with AIPAC? If they are Democrats and they run as Democrats and they win as Democrats, then they should be a part of the Democratic Party. There are people with whom I have vehement disagreements with on any number of topics. But if we can find a place of agreement, that's what I'm going to focus that relationship on. If you're just looking for people who you agree with on everything, then you might as well just stay home and look at a mirror.
