I haven't seen anybody mention that in the Lester Holt interview, Biden directly questioned Holt on why the media is covering things so slantedly — multiple times.
So I'm mentioning it. Happened to watch the whole thing and I'm not sure how many have.
I used to be obsessively engaged with the social media news/opinion cycle until one day I wondered "What is the point of this? It doesn't help anyone." So I made a decision to use the time and energy for stuff like writing letters to my reps instead. Not telling anyone what to do, just works for me.
The disconnect between the accomplishments of Biden’s first term and the guy responsible is very real, but if we reward an 81 year old centrist for being the most progressive president since FDR, anything is possible and the future could be very bright.
Biden has a bad debate night: calls to step down
Documents released that show two underage women accused Trump of raping them on Epstein’s island, under oath: total media silence except in a few blogs and foreign news
The media double standard is incredible to see
I'm sorry but at this stage, people who aren't committed to voting this November for the not-fascists are succumbing to the same mindset that influencers selling "natural" remedies to cancer patients peddle as good.
Very unpleasant chemotherapy treatment sucks but is better than dying.
One of the most pointless hills I will die on is that "boneless wings" are a silly name for what is basically just presauced chicken nuggets.
They can be absolutely delicious! But they are not deboned wings in the same way a "boneless chicken breast" is literally just a boneless chicken breast.
Can I tell you what a relief it is to log on and see discourse about old vs new buildings on the skyline instead of the end of the world, I hadn’t considered this building age thing but will be sharpening up some takes immediately
/8 At any rate, congratulations to the Federalist Society for an achievement beyond the reach of the British, outside the grasp of bloody civil war, impossible to Nazis and Soviets and terrorists: defeating the American idea.
i don't know whether AOCs call for impeaching the justices will be the right one (it doesn't have a chance in hell of getting through), but the conversation has to start with congress, who are prime offenders in letting the court get to this point, and i'm encouraged someone there recognizes that
THE sentence of the day: A Macronist incumbent in the Marseille region came in 3rd in her seat. She just dropped out to support the left. She said, about why she's maneuvering to block the far-right:
"Defeats happen, but you can never recover from dishonor."
PSA: if you're talking about doing actual political violence on social media in public, you are a dangerously ignorant twerp who lacks the situational awareness required to do anything useful for anyone.
I really have lost my former tolerance for "we're doomed/fucked/it's all over/they've won" takes at this point, in that they're the most dangerous attitudes one could possibly have when confronted with a truly existential political threat (which we still DO have levers to address).
