Okay but Trump *didn't* say blowing up LA was fine though? Sure, he's incoherent because he's senile. But the previous sentence was high diesel $ is the "small price," so"let them take out LA..." seems like he meant it as the alternative to the "small price" of expensive gas. 1/2

There seems to be a widespread belief on here that the expressed position “trans people should have their GAC covered with the sole exception that some surgical procedures should be performed at 18 rather than 16 or 17” means someone “wants trans people dead” and no, that isn’t what that means

"They're not misunderstanding the film; they're co-opting a message"
Screencap from the interview linked in the quoted post

Marlow Stern (the interviewer):  You have one of the most renowned replies in Twitter history. Elon Musk tweeted out, “Take the red pill,” then Ivanka Trump enthusiastically wrote, “Taken!” to him, and then you replied, “Fuck both of you.” I’m curious how you feel about the co-opting of “The Matrix” by those on the right who don’t really seem to understand its messaging.

Lilly Wachowski: I mean, I can’t sit in a room and explain the movie to every single person who watches it. Even if I did sit in a room with Elon Musk and Ivanka Trump — yikes — it doesn’t matter. They’re not misunderstanding the film; they’re co-opting a message. And that’s what fascists do: They co-opt the messages of progressives and use it to their benefit to confuse and obfuscate what is going on and the intention of their ideology. They do it with everything. They do it with Martin Luther King Jr. Look at how they’ve changed the idea of what antisemitism is.

The NYT removed the "um"s in Trump's answer on Taiwan, but put "um"s in AOC's answer on Taiwan to make her look dumb Trump said "Um, I would say 'like' is maybe too strong a word...um, no, I'm holding that in abeyance and it depends on China, depends, it's a, it's a.." L: Trump R: AOC Video below
The New York Times: The American president’s comments had been released over the weekend, after Mr. Trump left a summit with Mr. Xi in Beijing on Friday. He said he was keeping on hold a decision about a package of weapons to Taiwan worth around $14 billion, and described it as a “very good negotiating chip” that could be used with Beijing.

“I’m holding that in abeyance and it depends on China,” he said in an interview with Fox News. It was not immediately clear what Mr. Trump wanted China to do in return.The New York Times: The visit also demonstrated the relative foreign policy inexperience of Ms. Ocasio-Cortez, who has made a few overseas trips since taking office but does not sit on any House committees devoted primarily to world affairs. She struggled at times to formulate succinct answers at a nighttime panel session, during which she was asked probing and specific questions about how to respond to international crises.

Questioned about whether the United States should send troops to defend Taiwan if China invaded the island, she stalled for roughly 20 seconds before offering a substantive response.

“I think that, uh, this is such a, a — you know, I think that — this is a, um — this is of course, a, uh, a very longstanding, um, policy of the United States,” Ms. Ocasio-Cortez said, before saying that the country should try to avoid reaching that point with China in the first place.

The Signal story is really the perfect example of how Trump's litany of abuses have completely warped media coverage and the standard he is held to. It's being covered, but on the Trump curve, it's just another scandal, as opposed to a major national security threat that should lead to resignations.

Our art director has been reading a lot of romantasy lately. Like, "a new book every day" a lot. Then, he started reading it out loud. Then, he started writing fanfic and reading that out loud, too.

Trump’s attack on Schumer is antisemitic and racist. He’s policing Jewish identity, invoking the dual loyalty trope, and implying Palestinians are inherently evil. This is dangerous incitement. Jewish groups must say it clearly: the President is spreading hate and weaponizing antisemitism.

In an editorial decrying Trumpists' attacks on speech, the #BrokenTimes can't resist its insidious bothsidesing "the censorial strains of the left." No, criticism is not censorship. Book and DEI bans are censorial fascism. The MAGA War on Speech www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/o...
The current administration may argue that these steps are simply payback for an American political left that can be rightly criticized for policing speech in recent years, from trying to shut or shout down conservative speakers to trying to enforce adherence to its own list of acceptable words and phrases like “pregnant people,” the “unhoused,” “incarcerated individuals” and “Latinx.”

I don’t know what is going to happen but one reason I am pessimistic about Harris’ chances is that a former Trump chief of staff saying the president praised Hitler doesn’t make the front pages, except maybe as an aside in a bigger story framed as a partisan attack by his rival
Wapo Hed is “Harris, In Escalation, Calls Trump a ‘Fascist’” noting in the subhed that she is repeating charges by his own staff.Trump praising Hitler not a big enough story for the New York Times front page.
