This is Kyiv center right now. russia has hit Ukraine's largest children hospital Okhmatdit (abbreviation from "Mother-and-Child Care", Okhorona Matery ta Dityny). Many wounded kids, including babies. Just imagine - your baby comes to hospital, bad enough, AND hit by russians.

Cynicism is a popular form of complacency.

I don't get it when people point out that Project 2025 is "nothing new." Yes, obviously, right-wingers have been fanatics for decades. They were blowing up abortion clinics and shooting doctors when I was a kid. But, as you may have noticed, their political vision has kind of been coming together.

Yes, it's entirely possible that the President is meeting w/a Parkinson's expert because he has exhibited signs. It's also entirely possible that the President is meeting w/a Parkinson's expert because he's signing a bill to try to ... end Parkinson's? When you're a hammer, everything's a nail

Do not let pundits and opinion-havers convince you that things are hopeless. They do not know: the left and the center can work together for the good of democracy and voters will reward them

BREAKING NEWS: Voters turned out in numbers not seen in decades to stop the far-right National Rally from taking power in the French National Assembly. Polls predicted a first-place finish for National Rally, which instead came in third in initial results as polling stations closed.

the Midwest is a fucking weird place. They love Obama and so many hate Harris. For absolutely stupid and racist reasons. I worry about this and we all should if we want to win What the Midwest does like is old, experienced grandpas with a strong backbone. They don’t like quitters

Trump raped a woman, was revealed as being in constant contact with a sex trafficker, stole nuclear secrets, is old, forged electoral certificates, was convicted of 34 felonies, committed fraud, is literally on the Saudi payroll, sent a mob to hang his VP but the opponent is also old.

In this chat, we suggest a distinction between covering something (NYT does great reporting on Trump's autocratic plans), and *crusading.* The latter is wholly different: It uses saturation coverage to alert readers that they should be alarmed. That's just not happening w/r/t Trump's unfitness.

North Carolina: this is the man running for governor on the Republican ticket. Work to keep him the Fuck away from more levers of power, & realize that not a single elected NC Republican has repudiated or denounced him since he won the primary; he's just their quiet parts "this-one-goes-to-11" loud

"Mark Robinson’s newly explicit calls for killing perceived enemies show just how seamlessly Christian nationalist extremists can glide into promoting real violence." Good @sarahposner.bsky.social look at the violent rant we reported on, putting it in deep context: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

It’s amazing the extent to which our billionaire tech bro overlords are just telling us out loud that they are rooting for fascism. Makes me slightly nostalgic for the days when American plutocrats plotted against democracy in secret.

“3 in 10” means 7 in 10 either are fine with him staying or don’t care either way. That’s the majority. Always report majorities. This is a democracy. Majority rules.

Biden trails Trump by just 2 points across key states, a Bloomberg News/Morning Consult shows, even as three in 10 Democrats say he should leave the race trib.al/GlWZVox

Hahahaha no, sorry, you're not pulling a "these people were never popular" on this, The Young Turks produced like half of the left/progressive media ecosystem, and one of the people listed is Brie Joy Gray, Bernie's National Press Secretary. These are not unknowns. They were popular.

This is the problem with The Omnicause even when you're sincere; every individual cause gets a _very_ surface-level treatment and pivots like this (to whatever argument is most emotionally satisfying) are _really_ common.

Stephen Miller now following Trump's lead and saying he has nothing to do with Project 2025. 1. His organization is on the Project 2025 advisory board. 2. He recorded a video as part of Project 2025 training tools 3. You can see Mandate for Leadership, the Project 2025 publication in the background
