AND If he believes this is a distraction, where is the companion message that hammers Trump for inflation, jobs, Epstein, etc? We get neither. Fuckin weak. Nut up.
Diego Lopez (@dflopez.bsky.social)
I generally like my rep, but I am disappointed in this “messaging” Calling Trump a “master” is weak. Framing the threat of a military occupation of our city as “distraction” is woefully outdated and dangerous. Mike - please take a lesson from Gov. Pritzker. You gotta swing your proverbial balls.

I think a defining dynamic of the 2020s, on both the center and the left, is an inability to just call bad things bad without inserting nuance to demonstrate your sophistication/independence/whatever else. Sometimes it's just important to call bad things bad.

“Move fast and break things” attitude is for people that have grown accustomed to a life where consequences have never reached them.

Pritzker exhorts the news media to "tell it like it is:" "Donald Trump wants to use the U.S. Military to occupy a U.S. city, punish his dissidents and score political points." "Mr. President, do not come to Chicago. You are neither wanted here nor needed here."

Reminds me of how I describe parenting - becoming one is like crossing an event horizon. You can never truly understand what’s on the other side until you cross, and those on the other side have no way of communicating exactly what it’s like back the other way

It’s why headline writing is more impactful than ever. Even (especially) if people don’t click, they at least “heard about” the negative story which leaves a lingering doubt. Wide coverage. Unfortunately the brain poisoning of media leaders has also made it deeper coverage.

Sometimes people veer so close to important things (like the explosion in use of pesticides after WW2 being tied to what we learned by studying chemical agents for war and having stockpiles of those agents left after the war), but there’s a key part where the conclusions they draw go haywire

Women’s status is very rapidly eroding—in their civil rights protections, healthcare, access to the public sphere, and the cultural support for their independence and dignity. But there is no feminism: our public gender discourse is divided between transphobia and handwringing about man’s feelings.
