I will bang this drum forever: in THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE FREE: THE GERMANS, 1933-45 Milton Mayer interviewed 10 ordinary Germans after WW2 to learn how fascism took hold. There was never a moment when everyone woke up:

1. Voters generally reject fascism when they know that's the choice. 2. Thus, the MAGA freakout at people figuring out what Project 2025 does.

"Executive Time" fell out of the coverage of Donald Trump in the most incredible way. Nobody writing about his quest to become president again ever mentions the fact that he hated the job when he had it and he couldn't and wouldn't really do it!
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

Lt. Col. Peter Lerner . After more than 750 interviews, and now that he has completed eight months of reserve service, he blames the government: "Netanyahu promised a complete victory. In the international arena, he led us to defeat" www.haaretz.co.il/news/magazin...

Income inequality mentioned once. Near record corporate profits never mentioned. Who is gaining from high interest rates and debt restructuring? Not a peep. How voters are manipulated to blame it all on migrants and protestors. Nada.

Haven't changed the parts where he describes himself as abstinent from voting and as one of "those of us who remain on the wagon," i.e. a habitual nonvoter
Lmao they just changed the title of the piece from “Why I don’t vote” to “Why I won’t vote” rather than tell readers that the guy actually does vote

Rights should not be contingent upon good behaviour. It's not awarding gold stars for perfect Latin recitations or what-thefuck-ever. The ability to condemn poor actions *and still support a cause* is a mark of strength, and I for one hope this entire project blows up in their stupid faces.

Watching left wingers continue to gripe that Bernie Sanders was "rat fucked" by a bunch of candidates with no shot at winning dropping out and endorsing biden is just bewildering "our guy could've won as if he didn't need a majority of the votes! The screwed him by making him need a majority!"

Thousands of Jewish and Palestinian citizens of Israel packed a major hall in Tel Aviv, for the biggest conference since October 7th that calls to end the war on Gaza and the occupation, to return the hostages, and to advance towards Israeli-Palestinian peace.🕊️ www.standing-together.org/english

The grim irony of modern American politics is that the people most likely to claim to venerate the Founders are also the most likely to burn what the Founders created to the ground

I'm on my way to Portugal but— if you want to know why the presidential immunity decision isn't the worst thing to emerge from this term, watch this. We are so screwed because of Loper Bright Enterprises and Corner Post. The Supreme Court nuked the administrative state. vm.tiktok.com/ZMrk6ay6n/

"What John Roberts has done — at least preliminarily — is carve out an Executive authority so broad that in every area where the President is explicitly excluded, even in the role of candidate-for-President, the President can still act with absolute immunity."

The fact that it's self-proclaimed Constitutional Originalists making the case that absolute power vested in a single unaccountable executive officer is a *good* thing should be shockingly hypocritical, but at this point the hypocrisy is no longer capable of causing shock.
Not that anyone particularly cares about original meaning, but think folks should still say it out loud: For all of the things that are unclear in the founding documents and unknowabilities of what the Founders intended, "the President can kill anyone or commit a coup" was *never* legally arguable

The far-right National Rally leader is unconditionally opposed by French Jewish groups for her party's historic antisemitism. Israel's diaspora affairs minister, however, is 'impressed' by her positions, adding that Netanyahu is seemingly 'of the same opinion' www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

1) Biden is a centrist but also a savvy politician who has bowed to organized left pressure on many matters, we can take credit for that successful pressure and still dislike him 2) we elect targets, not saviors, and (1) means he is a good-- meaning, moveable-- target (cont)
The fact that Biden has delivered on left-wing policy far better than any president in generations but is widely despised by left-wing voters reflects more poorly on left-wing institutions and voters than on Biden. This is not a movement showing political maturity, and I say that as a left-winger

Clarence Thomas unquestionably committed tax fraud on his motorcoach deal and the president has the power to put him in handcuffs this afternoon, in his official capacity in charge of the IRS and federal law enforcement

If, as POTUS, Trump was permitted to subvert the election - does that mean Biden can as well? We will be absolutely screwed living in Trumplandia

Arab Americans angry with Biden shld note Trump's use of ‘Palestinian’ as a slur They are right to be disillusioned with the President's Gaza policy, but voting for a 3rd party candidate or staying home will only help his rival return to the WH Hussein Ibish www.thenationalnews.com/opinion/comm...

Can this conference inspire a new Israeli-Palestinian peace movement? For activists Maoz Inon and Aziz Abu Sarah, reviving a joint peace effort that learns from past obstacles is ‘the biggest antidote to extremism.’ www.972mag.com/maoz-inon-az...

“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.”‼️‼️ www.inquirer.com/opinion/edit...
