Yes, yes, the authoritarian president is leading a hate-filled rally in which he urges his followers to physically assault protesters but do NOT call any of these people Nazis or you will make David Brooks sad.

just a casual reminder that inciting violence against his political opponents and others he dislikes has been a core feature of Donald Trump's approach for more than a decade. It is a defining characteristic of Trump and his movement, but rarely centered as such by corporate media.

Not gonna defend liberals' chest-pounding writ large, but it's kinda crummy to conflate "principles wrt US foreign policy (even those orthogonal to established stance) & the hesitation to endorse someone not aligned" with "performative bullshit." C'mon, man.

This is exactly what ICE said: "Parra-Hernandez ran in front of an ICE vehicle and was struck." Now watch the video. They're no other word for it: They're lying.

Remember: ICE lied so often about people posing threats to them, to justify their violence in Chicago, that a Chicago federal judge wrote it was "difficult, if not impossible, to believe almost anything" ICE said. Do you know what it takes to get a Fed district judge to WRITE THAT in a ruling?

In case you aren't knee-deep in the latest MAGA conspiracy theory, this is a response to the "bombshell" that James Talarico spent the past week-plus secretly seeking treatment at an Ohio mental health facility, and a GOP operative broke the case with a late-night phone call.

This stuff is ugly, both in a general civility sort of way & in a misogynistic sort of way, & it really doesn't matter that Bessent has the Wall St credentials & Ivy degrees. We must not normalize this behavior, or his active complicity in working for a POTUS who is doing unprecedented crimes daily.

Congrats again to the Harvard economists & co. who told us that Scott Bessent was a "credible Treasury Secretary" bc he went to the right schools & cocktail parties & bc it is a Big Club. It might be nice for Furman & company to speak up now & correct the record. The silence really is deafening.

a big part of ossoff's rhetorical success is it doesnt contain the compromise and caveats that are a baked-in part of democratic party rhetoric. theres no pretending that his opponent is just misguided or will be pulled back from the edge by "the good republicans." ossoff is saying "fuck this guy"

Figuring out why Ossoff is so effective is an interesting task. I think he's mastering a kind of stern dignity that is uniquely compelling in contrast to the clownish cruelty of the other side. I think the other person who's kind of hit on the same thing is AOC, though in a different register

Given that there is not likely to be a national, bipartisan demand for accountability in the wake of Trump — the major distinction with Nixon — any accountability, civil or criminal, will be a partisan and political project that I think should be pursued as vigorously as possible.

Meanwhile, over on X, the Secretary of Homeland Security is posting about "vandalizing the demographics of America," a phrase which is either a chilling suggestion of white nationalism from Mullin or just straight pablum which means nothing but sounds just fash enough to excite the faithful.

“Vandalize the demographics of America” is either a chilling phrase suggesting that Mullin is a white nationalist or an absurdly meaningless bit of pablum  which ignores 250 years of the constantly shifting demographics of a nation of immigrants.

Underneath is a picture of Mullin with a quote "How do you turn a country from democracy to socialism? You have to change the demographics."
