Unabashed authoritarianism So it's pro-democracy Americans v. Americans who: 1) want authoritarianism, and get excited by who it'll hurt 2) don't pay attention, or are gripped by can't-happen-here complacency 3) think it's crucial to say nothing could possibly be worse than Biden

Cannot emphasize enough that Trump does not have any ideas to reduce inflation. This is just a very poorly designed tax on middle- and working-class people.

After Hur's lies about Biden's cognition appeared, the NY Times published *30* stories in four days, including opinion pieces questioning whether Biden had dementia or should run for reelection. Trump falls asleep every day in court and it's crickets. 🙃
Why are people who see things like declining trust in US institutions while other countries' rose, and higher increases in anxiety/depression, so resistant to the obvious explanation? Social media, financial crisis, COVID, inflation happened everywhere. Trump happened in the US.
So according to Gallup, America has the least confidence in our national institutions of any G7 country and the largest increases in anxiety/depression among young people even tho govt statistics show we’re out-growing the G7 and income inequality is falling. What’s going on?
Some guy said that kids were actually free and then was immediately ridiculed and revealed to have no children and in fact to be a kid himself, so of course a few hours later Elon agreed with him
This swift surrender should color our collective sense of whether Trump secretly wants to go to jail or thinks going to jail would be good politics for him.
With 30 minutes to go before the deadline, Trump has removed the social media posts that Judge Merchan found violated the gag order. He had until 2:15 to do so.
Journalists have grown seemingly more hostile to mainstream media critiques as Dems have embraced them (cf @semaforben back and forth with @taraemcg). Understandable perhaps, but they should ask themselves: What exactly did they think Dems were gonna do? offmessage.net/p/democrats-br…
Brian gets at something we discussed in our pod chat: "Mainstream journalists who drape themselves in high-minded abstractions about the press’s role in creating an informed citizenry will simultaneously disclaim all responsibility for the up-is-down state of public opinion."
Are Democrats (Finally) Breaking Up With The Mainstream Media? I recommend this analysis by @brianbeutler. "Years of frustration have begun to boil over, but with few alternative journalism institutions to turn to, Democrats have turned instead to celebrity interviewers."
This, from @jbarro, is exactly why so, so many commentators get “the youth vote” wrong. They assume the things they hear from collegiate activists (right and left!) are representative, when those activists almost always are not. joshbarro.com/p/stop-letting…
This is also why it is important to read the Biden disapproval number with young voters on Gaza in the latest CNN poll in tandem with the number from the same poll that shows they rank Gaza at the very bottom of their concerns.

Jimmy Dore and Ian Crossland believe that WTC1, WTC2, and WTC7 were all destroyed by "controlled demolition" and they "fell completely straight down into their own footprint". This happened at the grossly-misnamed "Minds Fest".
It isn’t the job of the New York Times to save democracy. The job of the New York Times is to tell us fascism and democracy both have problems, then vaguely intimate those problems are same in number and quality, because journalistic neutrality means manufacturing balance.
Leaking this to the Post is sign enough, but if you read the story it’s well-sourced. They want her to know she’ll never be seen or heard from again.
