I assure you that if 8 million right leaning protesters had turned out against Obama it the NYT would have given it banner treatment eg POPULIST REVOLT

NEW, from me: I talked to people who shut down Patriot Front's rally in D.C. last month. Counter-demonstrators made it impossible for PF to produce propaganda and recruit at the March for Life rally. The clown music set the tone. www.splcenter.org/resources/ha...

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes. $9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst". Renee Good and Alex Pretti were unavailable for comment….

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

BREAKING: The DOJ has explained there is a perfectly reasonable explanation for dozens of Epstein files related to Donald Trump going missing. That reason is if they didn't go missing, they would incriminate Donald Trump.

Two weeks ago I wrote about how MAGA has developed the perverse skill of turning right-wing terrorism acts into left-wing attacks by inverting reality on its head. Today they are doing the same thing woth the Mar A Lago gunman. open.substack.com/pub/davidnei...
open.substack.com
Trump deliberately ignores far-right terrorism because it's a useful tool against democracy
By insisting, both in word and deed, that only the 'radical left' commits domestic terror, the MAGA regime is casually exposing everyone to extremist violence

Is it fair to say that the Trump regime is actually dumber than President Camacho's government in Idiocracy? Camacho, after all, ultimately empowers a smart guy (Luke Wilson) to actually solve society's problems. Ain't no Luke Wilson among the grifters and sycophants that surround Trump these days.

The President is taking a *pre-noon* nap. In public. At his big event. On World Peace. This will go mostly unremarked upon outside here. Meanwhile, the commentary class thinks it deeply important to inform you that AOC said "uhm" a few times in response to a question on the same topic a few days ago

The decline of right wing cultural production is just due to the fact that they don’t like culture, they like the signifiers of culture, ie “classic sculpture means white people are better.” They don’t like art at all except for this purpose. They don’t even like the nerd stuff they whine about

Text is above and beneath the photo: After more than 2 years into the October 7th war, a majority international humanitarian organization has recognized that terrorists operate from within a hospital in Gaza.  What Israel has said for years is only now being publicly acknowledged.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

Good that the grand jury rejected this obviously illegal move to indict sitting Senators for making true statements. But horrifying that the government tried. The DOJ has been fully corrupted into a Trump propaganda arm. It will have to be rebuilt from the ground up www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

I want to thank everyone who posts gift articles of really important stories that all Americans should read but are behind paywalls so most can’t. There are some stories that are so important to the public interest that media companies should remove paywalls on some occasions.
