I've been thinking a lot about Tennessee over the past week, and I think I've landed on this: It is an appalling display of morality and a stunning indictment of the death penalty that this has managed to turn Christa Pike, who committed an absolutely depraved murder, into a sympathetic character.

The indifference to Putin's atrocities in pursuit of oil deals is deeply disturbing to me, and I bet it is to a lot of Americans. What are your thoughts?

And yet, he'll continue to be platformed by Tapper, the other Sunday shows, & other major media outlets. The consequence for this needs to be de-platforming. The continued approach of treating this lying as an acceptable part of "normal politics" is broken & incompatible with defending democracy.

Pressure needs to be put on the Democratic establishment to concentrate their efforts on Trump and the Republicans, not the DSA. Of course, they won't do that because fascism doesn't threaten their capital, but socialism does.

Text reads: "If the US were to have free and fair elections, I think the Democrats would do well: not because they are liked, but because the GOP is loathed. There is genuine excitement around Democratic candidates like Abdul El-Sayed. Unfortunately, those candidates are targeted by both the GOP and the Democratic establishment. I don’t know why half our election coverage seems to be about Twitch streamer Hasan Piker. This is a sign of a collapsed media and a political infrastructure hijacked by outside interests. That said, I do think Americans are invested in making their country a better place. I’m impressed by the steady protests and acts of solidarity with the vulnerable. I think these will continue no matter what the midterms bring."
