jaderemedy • 4h ago And now comes the most nauseating part of this whole goddamn mess: the hypocrisy. The same loud-mouthed idiots who spent years screaming about tyranny are suddenly dead fucking silent, or worse, cheering, now that it's their side doing it. "ThEy'Re cOminG fOr OuR gUnS!" "GoVerNMenT oVerReAch!" "ShAll nOt bE inFrinGeD!" All that chest-thumping bullshit evaporated the second armed federal agents started terrorizing people they don't like. Let me get this straight: a civilian gets shot dead by federal agents, and the only thing you brainless cunts can muster is "well, DHS says he had a gun"? THAT'S your red line? Guns are sacred when they're strapped to your waist, but magically become a death sentence when they're used as a post-hoc excuse by the government? Either the Second Amendment applies to everyone, or you never believed in it at all. Fucking pick one and own it. This is exactly what tyranny looks like, by the way. Not jackboots marching in formation, but armed agents roaming neighborhoods, stopping people, killing civilians, and then daring the public to question it. Tyranny is execution followed by a press release. Tyranny is labeling the dead a "threat" so the state doesn't have to explain why someone's life just ended in the street. Tyranny is demanding obedience while shredding due process and calling it order. And all you so-called "freedom lovers" are fucking fine with it, as long as it's brown people, immigrants, protesters, or anyone you've already dehumanized. Turns out "don't tread on me" actually meant "tread on them." You weren't afraid of tyranny. You were afraid of losing dominance. There's a difference, and this moment exposes it completely. "Just comply" isn't a principle. It's cowardice dressed up as common sense. It's the language of people who have already accepted that the state gets to decide who deserves rights and who doesn't. And once you make that deal, don't act shocked when the line moves, because it always fuckin…

NYT push alert getting it wrong

If they win, Democrats will have to use their newfound authority to rethink, even dismantle, agencies like U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. They may need to walk back the Bush-era decision to consolidate those agencies and others under a single department, given the wild abuses perpetrated under this administration and its predecessors. It will need to give serious thought to major political and social reform, including D.C. statehood, a federal ban on partisan gerrymandering, a new voting rights act and federal protections for reproductive rights and bodily autonomy, including the rights of gender and sexual minorities. Democrats will also need to embrace the legislature’s constitutional authority to structure the executive branch and the judiciary, up to and including Supreme Court reform. If they win next year, Democrats will need to treat the next Congress not as a return to the status quo ante but as the beginning of a new era in which the principal task is to roll back the president’s effort to create and consolidate a personalist dictatorship. They’ll need to fortify the American political system against future attempts to play dictator and lay out a project of genuine democratic renewal. None of this is possible without a willingness to use power rather than just hold it. What we’ve seen this week is that there are still too many Democrats whose instinct is to retreat to normalcy rather than face the conflict at hand.

Breaking news alert from NYT characterizing obviously illegal behavior as “legally untested”
New euphemism for “so obviously illegal nobody has ever bothered to attempt it” just dropped
May this portion of the dissent by Ketanji Brown Jackson haunt John Roberts forever and be the final word on his tenure as Chief Justice.
This is a boxing match and do you have any idea who my dad is?
Briefing a convicted sex criminal on behalf of your credibly-accused serial sexual harasser client about the plan to win on a fake-party ballot line after being overwhelmingly rejected by voters is most on-brand activity Mark Penn has ever undertaken
I wonder how it would have been framed if Joe Biden had been in a delusional fantasy world about key aspects of the job.
We can flip some if we run candidates who follow the tried-and-true strategy of "attack, attack, attack" instead of the proven-loser of "emphasize your common ground with Republicans."
Reminder that words matter. You can’t “deport” a US citizen. You might be kidnapping, disappearing, exiling, expelling, illegally removing, etc., but you’re not “deporting” a US citizen.
DuPage Dems Chair here… we’re leading in 48 of 49 partisan races and only down in the one by 35 votes. Several of our townships have never had an elected Dem, and it’s sweep after sweep tonight.
Breaking: RFK Jr. has forced out PETER MARKS, the nation’s top vaccine regulator.
In his resignation letter, obtained by the Post, Marks said he was willing to work with RFK Jr on his vaccine concerns — but said Kennedy wishes “subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.”

I have no patience for this temporizing. People are being summarily shipped off into slavery in central america under the imprimatur of the US government right now. Canada—Canada!—is putting itself on a war footing. We’ve been off the map and in uncharted territory for the last 250 miles.
At some point the press needs to stop adopting right-wing framing that this is a "DEI purge" and call it what it is — white supremacist violence against our collective past.

Mahmoud Khalil should be at home with his pregnant wife.
Instead, he's been illegally abducted & had his constitutional right to free speech & due process stripped.
We're demanding his immediate release and we cannot allow this abuse of power to go unchecked. #FreeMahmoudKhalil
Insane NYT push alert noting that Zelensky didn’t apologize to Trump, as if that is a thing any reasonable person would or should expect after what happened
What on earth are the people who wrote and signed off on the last part of this sentence thinking?
the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president
Republicans are all in on the Department of Grandma Elimination
It’s like someone in a brainstorm said, “So, if the president is a convicted felon, what should that mean for the cabinet?”
This headline tells you NYT journalists don't watch Fox News for their job. Hegseth is a boiled-brain psychopath who emceed the Jan. 6 pregame rally, spread lies about the Paul Pelosi attack, and was an early adopter of the "deep state" conspiracy theory. He's not a fucking hero "outside the norm"
Six-year-old daughter after being told of the election result this morning: “If Donald Trump is going to be president, does that mean everybody gets to do crimes?”
Yankees in disarray
i think the biggest blindspots among pundits and “savvy” political journalists are abortion and jan. 6. they don’t think they are significant and to some extent they don’t want them to be
Perhaps there should be some Evacuation Day in September or something that people could organize around, declaring that they’ll move their primary posting away on that day. Folks could advocate to their favorite media outlets, elected officials, government entities to join in.
