The Economist has some astonishing figures on Russian losses in Ukraine. They surpass all losses by the Soviet Union and the Russian Federation from 1945 to 2022 combined. Up to 728,000 soldiers eliminated, confirming Ukraine’s figures. 1/2

I really don’t think most people realize just how hard the boot will come down if Trump and the Republicans win the election. Most people have never experienced the totalitarian surveillance state with the power to reach into their homes and minds at will they are telling us is their plan.

THIS. The "there's no difference between Republicans and Democrats" people need to read this and vote blue. They. Have. Different. Policies. They "opt out" of feeding poor students. Democrats enable feeding poor students. Voting blue means a material difference in people's LIVES.

The governors of a dozen Republican-led states — AL, AK, FL, GA, IA, MS, OK, SC, SD, TX, UT, WY — opted out of a new federal food assistance program, leaving about 9.5 million students without the aid this summer

Republican-led states are blocking summer food benefits for hungry familieswww.usatoday.com Money for food is especially tight for families in a dozen states where Republican lawmakers declined to accept federal food assistance.

“Although the Biden admin seems to have run extremely well for 3.5 years, with a strong cabinet, few scandals, a thriving economy & major legislative accomplishments, the punditocracy has suggested we should ignore this record & decide on the basis of the 90-minute debate” @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social

Why is the pundit class so desparate to push Biden out of the race? | Rebecca Solnitwww.theguardian.com Yes, Biden had a bad debate – but so did Trump. The media is once again repeating the mistakes of 2016

Seems like "what parts of Project 2025 do you disagree with?" or "what parts of it are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal?" would be good questions for a reporter to ask the other elderly presidential candidate, but what do I know. on.ft.com/4ePQH0e

Which is why the NYT is all in on this strategy. I wish every MSNBC segment started with "For the XXXth day in a row, the Trump campaign has been too frightened to sit down for an interview, so these are things that they don't want you to know about their pet rapist."

fuck these gobshites, in fact if this election win happens with individual average citizens support over theirs it is actually way better, kill what clout they think they have, ruin their robber baron fantasies

Tell me I'm wrong: A bunch of the media and donor class panicked, for good reason, after the debate. Made a big coordinated push to make Biden step aside. Didn't work, wounding pride of lots of big egos. Now too miffed to concede so stuck denying that Biden can win to justify continued aid to Trump.

Donors maybe, but the media didn't panic. They've been waiting for an opportunity to wound Biden. Stable, competent governance is bad for ratings. They need the horserace until Nov and they want the chaos that Trump brings. They are the enemy.

The fact they're simultaneously running don't vote campaigns and trying to undermine the dem candidate is proof that the moneybags who own these publications are united in realizing their robber baron days are drawing to a close under a guy who is the most pro labour president of the 21st century

On Independence Day the New York Times publishes an op-ed telling people voting is pointless and they shouldn’t do it. Absolutely un-fucking-real. This rotten organization is just blatantly trying to put Donald Trump back in the White House now.
