If you're not antifascist, what are you?
I know you're just doing your job, but nobody wants to hear the views of rank and file Republicans. Their consistent votes for a corrupt, bigoted, cruel, megalomaniac imbecile make their views quite clear. The banality of Republican evil...
Fatal flaw: campaign leaders who have zero clue that there are people who have the character and judgement do not have done what Platner did, and who have the courage to be honest and forthcoming about their mistakes.
Would you say “The men were clothed in outfits associated with the Klan”? Grow a pair and call them what they are: the virulently white supremacist Patriots Front.
Someone show this to JD Vance and ask if he can point out the one real American in the photo.
I used to think the same thing. But I realized linking algae & Republicans isn’t fair to algae. This ⬇️ is the best metaphor for what Republicans have done, and what they will continue to do unless we stop them.
Excellent depiction of where a lot of rank and file Dems are in the Public Notice Substack today. This one really got me because it rings so true:
When a government spokesperson says something in their official capacity that is so overtly manipulative, snarky, & ugly, don’t publish it unless they’re willing to put their name behind it.
Had Trump or Blanche ever deigned to work in a kitchen, they would know that “86” has been shorthand for “throw it out” or “cancel that” since forever. Come and get me mother f*ckers.
Great piece, and 100% predictable to Oregonians. I hope people read it. And save this for dessert:
No shade, just good advice for everyone: From On the Media @onthemedia.bsky.social in 2014. Swap AI for “photoshop” and it’s just as true today. Read and heed.
Not to jump into the rural/urban discussion, but this should be alarming to anyone in or following conditions in ag-related rural communities... From Reuters: www.reuters.com/business/fin...
Meanwhile, here at home, Shelly Boshart Davis spreads anti-immigrant disinformation, as do other elected Republicans. Considering the sometimes deadly consequences, we could really use some reporting on how anti-immigrant hate is used by local Republicans to intensify division and rev up the base.
When Bill Kristol is saying the right the right things while you’re falling short, you know what to do. So do it.
Let’s please all remember the supporters, capitulators, appeasers, & cowards, and never let them near our governance or politics ever again.
Seems fitting to note this is the 10th anniversary of an IRL effort to resurrect a past that never existed. The fantasy cost one gullible soul his life, did incalculable damage to a public treasure, & was incontrovertible proof that White Christian Nationalists can get away with anything.
Republican values are not American values. And those heinous values will remain long after Trump hits his last golf ball. We must NEVER allow them near our governance or politics ever again.
