Must read today: "Within a month or two, the basic contours of the presidential election may well be the exact same as they were on Saturday morning, with Trump as a moderate but not overwhelming favorite to win his second term." www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Stop Pretending You Know How This Will Endwww.theatlantic.com The failed assassination of Donald Trump might not have any lasting effect on the election or politics in general.

Our choice this fall is between two old dudes about whom many expect have expressed reasonable concerns because of their age and abilities. The choice isn't between an old guy & a young, healthy guy. It's between two old guys.

Biden is old. Trump is also old. Trump says nonsensical things, mistook Biden for Obama, said Nikki Haley oversaw security on 1/6, referred to Argentina as a person, couldn't say Venezuela, said he likes mosquitos and people are coming to the US speaking languages no one speaks.

Some of them do believe that. Fear is a hell of a drug.

This Vice piece is very good. Raises more hairs on my neck than a Stephen King novel, though. www.vox.com/politics/360...

So, @brianstelter thinks the @wapo is in big trouble and the solution is for Jeff Bezos to be MORE involved. Do you disagree? Listen first! Then tell me what you think. slate.com/podcasts/hea...

I'm disgusted by just how easy it is to distract and manipulate people with racism, sexism, selfishness, and hatred. And greed.

Hillary Clinton, Yale Law School grad, in 2016: “If we’re serious about fighting for progressive causes, we need to focus on the Court: who sits on it, how we choose them, and how much we let politics—partisan politics—dominate that process.”

"Make no mistake about it — this is the most radical, destructive, arrogant Supreme Court in the entire history of the United States of America."

I've seen enough -- this is the most radical, dangerous, arrogant, out-of-control Supreme Court in American history, and it needs to be treated as such. open.substack.com/pub/kevinmkr...

"While the decisions coming out of this Court are bad enough, the fact that they’re coming from a collection of judges who have responded to serious charges of ethical lapses and outright corruption levied against them with nothing but contempt and condescension."

July 4th is the celebration of freedom from monarchy, right?

So, the burglary at the Watergate would have been legal because Nixon talked about it in the Oval Office?

It's not their fault that their dissent is impotent.

Matt Wagner’s call for queer representation and visibility in advertisingadage.com The Target 10 VP of client services writes about how brands are missing the opportunity to connect with one of the fastest-growing consumer groups.

Only in a theocracy is a religion also a political party.

As a journalist whose job is to pay attention to what the president says, this is true.

A big thing here is that Biden talks about these things all the time. At some point you have to admit that a lot of supposed politics knowers aren't very aware of what POTUS does and says on a day-to-basis

Every one of us should be alarmed by the global decline in empathy. Without empathy, homo sapiens would have died out along with Neanderthal and apes would probably run the world. www.cbc.ca/radio/sunday...

Empathy makes us human, but research suggests it may be on the decline | CBC Radiowww.cbc.ca Research suggests empathy may be losing ground in the West. Michael Enright speaks with experts Sara Konrath and Fritz Breithaupt about what it could mean for society.

One last (hopeful) note: there was a big decline in empathy among young ppl, but that trend has reversed. Now, older ppl are the least empathetic and Gen Z (yay!!) is showing an increase in compassion. So, let's listen to them instead of arresting them. news.uwgb.edu/phlash/media...
