Just as terrorist groups used on-camera executions as propaganda for their cause, this video will be used in recruitment videos by America's enemies for decades to come. It also gives Hasan exactly what he likely wanted when he walked onto Ft. Hood and started shooting.

This is an excellent piece. On the ICC, I would add that the next Democratic administration could lodge an Article 12(3) declaration accepting ICC jurisdiction for the period of the Trump administration; this would not require ratification of the Rome Statute (and so would avoid the Senate)

"Donald Trump increased the price of gas, and now he wants you to have to buy more of it." Doesn't seem like a difficult messaging challenge for Democrats.

Our Show Gun Safety campaign has trained and met with thousands of screenwriters, producers, and studio executives about how to responsibly depict firearms in film and television. With guns the #1 cause of death for kids, even small choices on screen — like showing a gun safe — can save lives.

The first part is doing the investigations. The second part is making them mean something: if you’re found to have helped assist a corrupt prosecution, your life as you know it should be over. The investigations only matter if they have stakes.

This in turn becomes an attentional and media strategy for Democrats. Rather than empty, performative hearings, these become proceedings with real import, which in turn makes them more compelling news.

Dems often complain they investigated Trump, even impeached him, and no one cared. But no one, even Democrats, really pretended the outcomes of those proceedings mattered. Pelosi literally announced impeachment articles against Trump and then, later that afternoon, celebrated signing his trade deal.

The on-line discourse around Stevens has become completely unhinged. 2 points: 1) I've known Rep. Haley Stevens for 15 years. She is today who she was then. One Haley. 2) In the endorsements note how prominent leaders are vouching for her character, fight, grit - for that too is Haley then/now.

This from @jenrubin.bsky.social really jumped out at me: don't let billionaire owned, Trump friendly legacy media control candidate debates, reach into the independent media sphere instead. Also, replace debate with innovative things like this:
The staid format of debates, especially the trite podium line-up of a dozen or more candidates ready to chime in with canned responses, also does not serve voters well. Rather than promoting nasty soundbites or reducing candidates to playing pundit (What makes you think you can win?), Democrats would be smart to innovate with different formats, special topics, subgroups of candidates, and nontraditional moderators. (I would love to hear Heather Cox Richardson ask candidates about their vision of American democracy or Paul Krugman discuss economic inequality with candidates in a small roundtable setting.)
