It's inconceivable to me how someone who lost in a free & fair election can incite an angry mob to attack his own government, (the very definition of treason) & be allowed to run for any office ever again.

The fact that OAN is reporting this … (a) damn!, and also (b) this sort of thing is very good for democracy because it prepares the most partisan Republicans to understand and (maybe) accept election results that go against them

The Free Press bravely challenging the orthodox belief that film criticism should involve watching the film.
A headline from Bari Weiss’s The Free [sic] Press:

“Hold Your Applause for the New Gaza Documentary

There may yet be hard truths in 'NAZA,' including evidence of Israel's systemic failures. But the reporting around it treats flimsy claims as proof of criminality.”

First line: “i haven't seen the film,”

Of course I agree with Kevin as we limp along at CUNY hobbled by decades of under-funding. It hasn't been costless. I am not feeling sanguine given the Dems even in blue states have decided public higher ed = vocational training. But will I stop pushing the Dems on it? No.

I'm not saying that a guy who sprints to the front to defend every rapist and attack every victim is himself a rapist because I have no information upon which to base such a claim. But I would bet a million bucks that this guy would risk his life to keep any of us from seeing his hard drive.

Democrats do not only need to "go all in" on higher education. The party needs a genuine reset on its understanding of it. The last three Democratic administrations contributed to creating the crisis that higher ed is facing today.

"Democrats don't have any income" is an insane statement, but it's also an admission that he sees the money collected by the United States government as his personal piggy bank, to be raided as he sees fit.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

If Democrats had the wit to make fun of Republican election hype, they'd hire a bunch of well-dressed white people, then film them driving in a column of late-model sedans to the Canadian border, gripping Amex platinum cards and offering all of their vacation money as a means of abject apology.
