Sorry, @nytimes.com People using AR-15s to commit grievous acts of public violence - is not the "antithesis" of America - it is one of the signature things about living in America in the year 2024.

I think the @nytimes.com is just too old to be covering politics now. Its ability to handle the rigor and complexity of modern campaigns is obviously not there anymore. Put it out to pasture so younger newspapers can do the job.

I was seeing some of this yesterday after the French staved off the right, and it was really disappointing. People getting mad because "voting works". Trump in office will mean the death of trans friends and family members and the court won't stop it.
I get yelled at by other leftists for not wanting a fascist government. I want the left to win but too many people who say they are on the left want democrats to lose more than they want trans people to live.

Wonder why the White House would have a Parkinson's expert visiting over the last year. Very suspicious stuff
Breaking News: A Parkinson’s expert visited the White House eight times in eight months from last summer through this spring, according to official visitor logs. The administration has said that President Biden has no signs of the disease.

Wow, real banana republic stuff. I'm glad our presidents can launder money and associate criminally without worrying about this kind of thing.

This is my late grandfather—a decorated member of the 82nd airborne and 1st gen Mexican immigrant. We have the same nose, eyebrows that stop at the arch, and resting “smile”. Can’t help but think he wouldn’t be safe in a Trump admin
Gift: For anyone who thinks trump will only deport "undocumented" people -- remember this story from 2019? This is just one of many cases of U.S. citizens being detained and scheduled for deportation.
Police knew a war veteran was a U.S. citizen. ICE detained him anyway.wapo.st Jilmar Ramos-Gomez will receive $190,000 in a settlement with Grand Rapids after a police officer began a series of events that led to his detainment by ICE.

Hear, hear: “In fact, the debate about the debate is misplaced. The only person who should withdraw from the race is Trump. Trump, 78, has been on the political stage for eight years marked by chaos, corruption, and incivility. Why go back to that?”

The only people who've ever held Trump meaningfully accountable over the last nine years have been ordinary Americans and they've spent that entire time being lectured to and berated by elites who've failed to do anything.

This is a witch hunt targeted primarily at scholars of color who study race. Chris Rufo now going after Christina Cross for "plagiarism" - his go-to example is *descriptions of data that are similar.* There are only so many ways you can describe data!
