It’s gross that the Republicans are putting grieving families on a stage to blame their loved ones deaths on Biden and it’s equally gross that cable pundits are sitting there critiquing the performance like it’s an Olympic skating event

basically indistinguishable from a Klan rally but the media wants you to think it's Trump pivoting to the center after a Republican kid tried to cap him because that's the narrative they think will help Trump the most. bsky.app/profile/pbum...

The tl;dr This is union-busting, written as a statute. A company union is not a union, it is a way for management to dilute/interfere with the power of the union. Company unions have been unlawful since 1935, because everyone recognizes it is an attempt to union bust. This is trying to undo that.

Not a populist: GOP VP candidate J.D. Vance introduced the Team Act (with Marco Rubio) to empower companies to establish and dissolve “employee involvement organizations” (a.k.a., company unions), a long-standing goal of GOP business leaders: www.rubio.senate.gov/wp-content/u...

The white supremacist gunman who murdered 23 people going about their day in El Paso five years ago next month had been obsessed with an alleged “Hispanic invasion” of Texas. There is no pivot, or softening. This is the Trump Republican Party. They keep telling us who they are, so believe them.

Lake also warned of the "Bidvaion" reference to the replacement theory that smashes the claim that Biden is intentionally facilitating a literal "invasion" of the United States, before leading the crowd in the nativist "build the wall" chant.

Actual speeches by Republican candidates keep stepping on the media's absurd "new unifying tone" narrative

Lake falsely claims that millions of immigrants will illegally vote in the election. Some of the most red-meat language of the #RNC yet.

also and I feel like I buried the lede here: it calls for the people who CREATE queer media to be imprisoned. That'd be people like me. Or any other queer creator you love. Any queen who's been on drag race. Chappel Roan. Janelle Monae. Anyone who's made a piece of queer media. Imprisoned.

Psst: Project 2025 is terrifying for a lot of reasons but also because on page 5 it calls for teachers and librarians who grant access to books that are maligned as pornography (which just means anything LGBTQ) to be registered as sex offenders. Pass it on.

I would say partially because he’s black but honestly, mostly because he listened. He would respond to anyone. There’s this belief of “I yell at my allies rather than my enemies because they listen” but lots of people just want to yell and scream, and he was a great target because he would listen.

Okay one more thing. Jamelle Bouie was not the only new york times employee, not even the only regular poster with an opinion column on this website, and I think people should do some real self-reflection on why he was singled out for the sins of that fucking newspaper.

The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel now says that FIVE Columbus police officers shot and killed the homeless Black man well outside the RNC security perimeter. Columbus Police say the shooting took place within the officers' assigned "operational zone."

I really am sorry for all the politics posting, but when it comes to illustrating the danger of another republican president, i don’t think there’s any more effective example than this. Imprisoning teachers and librarians for having the “wrong” books is vividly fascist stuff.

According to Project 2025, which is the heart of Trump's campaign and platform, if you teach or talk about the existence of LGBTQ people then you are a sex offender and should be imprisoned.

It's because they want to privatize weather. They tried doing it under his last administration but many people didn't really notice beyond the weird hurricane drawing he did. It's also why they cut (or at least tried to it's been a minute since I read that stuff) a bunch of NASA Earth's funding too

They have such winning ideas like “why don’t we charge people who want to know if that tornado is gonna hit their house.”

Gee, I wonder what kind of things happen when people like AOC and Bernie are standing firm behind the candidate in the face of pressure and pushback from the more 'traditionalist' wing of the party.

Breaking news: President Biden is finalizing plans to endorse major changes to the Supreme Court in the coming weeks, including proposals for legislation to establish term limits for the justices and an enforceable ethics code, according to two people briefed on the plans.

Not only a mile from the arena, but across the freeway that bisects that part of town and forms an enormous physical barrier

The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel confirms that a Columbus, Ohio, police officer detailed to the RNC shot and killed a homeless Black man (earlier reported to be in his early 20s) more than half a mile from the RNC arena. The man was known by the nickname Jehovah and took care of a pit bull named Isis.

Per this NYT story, an alleged Syrian war criminal and torturer received his visa and entered the US during the Trump admin, so I don’t understand why the Syria guy on Trump’s National Security Council gets to offer an analytic comment and whistle off into the sunset. www.nytimes.com/2024/07/16/u...

I’m not saying people wanted anyone assassinated but living in the grip of a raging narcissist cult leader for a decade has been a serious bummer for those of us not under his thrall and wishing for a constant atmosphere of menace and gaslighting to cease is a fairly natural human response.

I think if you want a polling bump after an assassination attempt, you do have to live your life in such a way that most of the country hasn’t spent the last 10 years hoping for your death.
