Gordon IS playing. Key for the Wolves in this game is the same as it's been all season: go to the rim. It's not the sexiest way to play, but this is like a football team running it over and over again. Have to make them stop you.

One of the lessons of the Iran war is that it was a huge mistake not to even try to put any of the Iraq war architects in prison. We shouldn’t make it again.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

Also, leave it to Trump to engineer a Katrina-scale political crisis completely out of thin air within a year of taking office, rising out of nothing more than mind-boggling policy choices and a complete inability to avoid putting huge quantities of firearms in the hands of America’s worst people

These guys simply love groveling like little piggies at the feet of daddy Trump and we should never, ever let them forget it. They have to wear this one forever and we have to make it stick.

I only hope our nattering class of Democratic do-nothings discover their error when they are swept away by Americans who prefer a course of action and consequence, instead of discovering it at the point of a bullet fired by Trump’s lawless fascist goons.

I just want people to know that there is no active insurrection, no regular protests, no rioting or whatever. The only time people are in the streets is when masked armed ICE thugs descend on one of our neighbors to disappear them as part of a federal government-led ethnic cleansing campaign.

This is how far you have to scroll on the NYTimes homepage to get any coverage of what's going on day-to-day in an occupied American city where schools are closing because the government is checking the papers of all brown or Asian people then brutalizing, imprisoning or killing them.

Bro, they are closing schools because teachers need time to make virtual options for non-white students because lawless federal paramilitaries are terrorizing them.

Having seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they’re doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn’t white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.

"“They specifically asked me if I knew where the Hmong families lived on my street & in the neighborhood.” Lugert-Thom responded, “I don’t know anything about that” & she said they then asked, “Well, what about the Asian families?”" "“I was a bit shaken & a bit shocked of what I was asked to do.”"

the only thing democrats should be saying today is “the entire republican party is engaged in a coverup of the most notorious child sex trafficking ring in world history”

look, it is comforting to think that your political opponents are, at the end of the day, just people like you who really want us all to live together as Americans. it's just very obviously not *true* in MAGA's case, as you can tell through, well, what they say and do.

When a right-wing man murdered Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota, progressives asked MAGA to tone down the rhetoric to prevent more violence. Within hours of Kirk’s murder, motive still unknown, the right is demanding that the government wage a campaign of violence against their enemies.

The far right has been looking for a reason to commit mass political violence and it’s extremely important to unite around the principle that all political violence in America is unthinkable and unacceptable.

About a quarter million Americans died of Covid in 2021 and 2022 as a result of refusing vaccinations and it made absolutely no difference in the discourse (in part because the media has since decided the *real* scandal of Covid was closing schools in 2020) bsky.app/profile/desa...

anti-vaxx people have been protected for the last two decades by...most people vaccinating they've been able to have their cake and eat it too that's about to end. there will be harmful falls from those soapboxes

National-scale gaslighting, where the president runs around talking about invading peaceful cities with the army and shredding federal agencies, and then if you dare feel alarmed about it, both the political media and opposition party will treat you as an irrational hysteric who should calm down
