The attempted assassination of Donald Trump does not erase the crimes that Trump himself has committed against American democracy, or the crimes he would commit if given the chance, and no one is obligated to pretend otherwise www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Nothing About the Attempted Assassination Redeems Trumpwww.theatlantic.com This crime does not erase what the former president has done, or what he has promised to do.

That Vance is a direct line to Thiel and Andreessen is truly important. Trump wants their money. Thiel wants to sell billions in Palantir contracts to power Trump’s mass surveillance/ethnic cleansing infrastructure. Pence was the Christian Nationalists’ guy. Vance is reactionary capital’s.

Are you a fan of all of those guys who are directly responsible for making the internet an unusable dogshit hellhole? Well boy do I have a VP for you.

A fun fact about JD Vance is that he's openly backed purging anyone who disagrees with him from the government, comparing it to "de-Nazification," and illegally defying court orders to do so.

Trump is a reprehensible piece of shit, but the choice of J.D. Vance as his VP shows he's willing to balance out his ticket expand his base with another reprehensible piece of shit.

We have to say this because Biden/Harris can't. They can't say "the guy who just got shot was closely connected to a pedophile ring", that's not appropriate from the president (we've decided). But we can say "Donald Trump promoted the DA who let Epstein off the hook", and we should

I’m just saying, one candidate is pretty closely connected to an organized pedophilia ring and it’s not the Democratic one

New in PN: Multiple things are true about Trump's shooting We must unequivocally condemn Trump's shooting while acknowledging the truths that he's a grave threat to democracy and nobody has done more to stoke the climate of political violence than him.

Multiple things are true about Trump's shootingwww.publicnotice.co Political violence is wrong. And Trump is the candidate of political violence.

Remember how the right turned Kyle Rittenhouse into a hero? For shooting people at a racial justice protest?

absolutely brilliant. the cataloging of violent imagery from the right is incredible. i mean, we all know this, but it’s striking to see it in one paragraph.

Well I'm given to understand that today & for a VERY limited time, our nation's political violence party is shocked—shocked!—to learn that we currently live in a world of normalized political violence, and would like very much to know who is to blame.

A reminder that Donald Trump has spent years fanning the flames and fomenting political violence. Recall 2016, when he said the "Second Amendment people" could stop Hillary Clinton's Supreme Court picks if she won. This era of violent political rhetoric should've ended in 2016.

Immediately after shots were fired, the crowd turned on media, channeling their anger toward reporters standing inside the press pen. “Fake news. This is your fault!” “You’re next! Your time is coming.” A few tried to break into the press pen but were stopped by security. — Sophia Cai, Axios

I feel like most comics folks know about Uline by now, but in case you don’t:

Biden misspoke, called Zelensky Putin, and immediately corrected himself. Trump was shown a picture of a woman he raped, misidentified her as his 2nd wife, and had to be corrected by her lawyers. What are we even doing here?

What hackery.

The NYT Parkinson's "scoop" is even worse than it seems from the headline, bc buried in paragraph 11 the reporters *know* Dr. Connard met with someone other than Biden, and on March 28, 2024 the President's Public Schedule shows Biden was in NYC the whole day

It's important to note that in France, yes, a fascist majority was prevented, but they still doubled their presence in parliament. The fascists didn't stay home. They went & voted. It's just that enough decent people showed up to beat them back to a significant degree (& make them cry). SHOW UP.

The discourse around biden needing more sleep is fully insane. Does no one remember "Executive Time," the thing Trump spent the majority(!) of his schedule on where he would just watch TV and tweet? Dude was categorically unable to fulfill any of the demands of the office and the press barely cared

It's going to rain at 10pm so people are starting their fireworks now, while it's still light out. smh
