@JoyceCarolOates
with furrowed brow, troubled mien & a pretense of being conscience-wracked, the conservative apologists at the NY Times pondered through 500-plus words how by never mentioning the insurrection of Jan. 6, never hinting that the Republican president has been deeply mired in corruption & embarked upon a continual onslaught against US democracy, never so much as hinting that he & other powerful cronies might be implicated in sexual crimes recorded in the Epstein files, not to mention this same Republican president's cynical selling of portions of our national parks & forests--all this & more, taking care never to mention--these conservative columnists (Douthat, Brooks) could come to the identical conclusion: "both sides, right & left" equally at fault but probably the left is more at fault, because--not-right.

ANY ARRESTS? Among the millions upon millions of "violent leftist radicals" that took to the streets today I cannot find word of a single arrest. Even when everything is peaceful there is usually an overzealous cop or something. This is unheard of. We need to beat the media over the head with it.

Trump is no longer even pretending to have any kind of argument that his murdering of people in the Caribbean Sea has any kind of statutory validity. Just straight up declaring that he has quasi-unlimited power to execute people based on (nominal) suspicion.

Pretty clear Stephen Miller, Noem, Hegseth and Trump are trying to provoke a Civil War at this point. What's interesting is they want to do it now, because even though they're unpopular, they seem to believe this is the most popular they'll be ever again. We can't let them win.

Democrats should never vote to fund a government that's waging war on its own citizens and firing officials *because* they insist on following court orders instead of breaking the law. Let Senate Republicans nuke the filibuster. None of this is normal and it shouldn't be treated as such.

For 26 but especially 2028 it's time for Democrats to make clear that the current Supreme Court will have to be reformed (expanded in number, reformed in structure) to allow popular govt to continue in the United States. Not so much a litmus test as precondition for any other promise to be credible.
