These two editorials by the Washington Post expose how the Republican Party and Democratic Party are held to completely different standards by the media. Texas gerrymander: “Not a threat to democracy.” Virginia gerrymander: “Power grab by Democrats.”

In 2024 Rufo offered $5000 to anyone who could prove Haitian migrants were eating pets. Then he turns around and wonders why the brains of so many people on the right have melted into conspiracy slop

You and what army? No, really, Matt: if you want to deport and jail all my neighbors, you’re going to need an army. We’re in the real world now bucko. This isn’t internet land where you declare something and it becomes true. You need actual dudes. So where’s your army?

Only FIFA would give the World Cup to Donald Trump. And then be shocked that fans don't want to go to a country where a Mom can get shot in the face and the VP will smear the dead woman. en.royanews.tv/news/66526/F...

I love the logic here: the huge success of the Canadian boycott has "backfired" because there are now more stringent checks on the Canadians who do cross over. Thank you US Border services for helping enforce the boycott. www.thetravel.com/canadas-us-t...

Right, this line Vance used was a very common line used by segregationists. Here's Rep. Mendel Rivers (D-SC) reacting to the Brown decision, which he said "would bring mongrelization of the Caucasian race. He added that he for one won't apologize for being a white man."

In the summer of 1950 most US newspapers ran an AP story about how race had become the main issue in the upcoming Georgia governor's race. Segregationist Herman Tallmadge, governor from '47 to '55 and then a Senator until 1981 made a name for himself by refusing to "apologize for being a white man."

Oh. My. God. Profoundly twisted framing from @nytimes.com The casual reader of this hed and subhed would have exactly zero inkling that this is likely corrupt or even illegal or unconstitutional. Euphemistic to the point of absurdity.

Extraordinarily corrupt. I watched FCC chair Brendan Carr's full interview on Hannity. Carr basically said straight out that coverage of Trump he deems overly hostile can be decreed contrary to the "public interest," and thus grounds for yanking licenses: newrepublic.com/article/2006...

Violence only begets violence. Enduring change comes from building solutions, transforming minds, and cultivating what is good, in the human heart and in the world.

Once again, my fellow nerds, I am begging you to remember that giving into bullies only guarantees they'll be back. You've got to punch Biff Tannen in the face, McFly, or he'll rule over you forever.

LA Times: "'It backfired,' said one senior administrator at UCLA, reflecting the sense of whiplash. .... 'Within hours of announcing our settlement, the DOJ was on our back.' WHO COULD'VE SEEN THIS COMING www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/0ypqo...
