Sad. Don’t know what coverage is like in the US but here’s the BBC.

At the end of the first set, President Trump was booed much louder than earlier when he appeared on the jumbotron. The camera lingered for much longer than it usually does on famous faces, too. The reception from the New Yorkers was markedly different when rock icon Bruce Springsteen - a local hero from New Jersey - appeared to euphoric cheers. Trump sat stony-faced as Springsteen, who has been a vocal critic of the president, grinned.

i do wonder at what point this ratcheting of rhetoric about the democratic party ends up having real life effects

The Democrat Party at every level — judges, politicians, academics, nonprofits — is organized around the defense and protection of the criminal, the monstrous and the depraved. The more vile the threat, the more vociferously the Democrat Party works to protect and enable it.

Question: Why are many people under the impression that Trump and the awful things he’s doing are popular, even though they’re not? Answer: America is still a mostly free country where dissent against Trump’s dictatorial ambitions is widespread, but media keeps making it appear as if it’s not.

Sometime in the mid-2010s I saw a police pickup truck in Ciudad JuĂĄrez carrying several cops wearing ski masks, and I was like "what the f***." Today, I stand a fair chance of seeing masked law enforcement if I go outside and take a long walk. This from Sabrina Tavernise at the NY Times:

‘Without Question a Bad Sign’ Outside the United States, masking by law enforcement has a long history. When it happens, it tends to be in countries with weak central governments, sometimes ones that are fighting insurgencies or drug cartels or, for that matter, political opponents. In Colombia in the 1980s and 1990s, the government worked with paramilitary groups — forces on the side of the government but not directly employed by it — that often wore masks. They operated at the margins of the law, according to Adam Isacson, a security expert at the Washington Office on Latin America, and over time, courts and special tribunals have documented abuses they perpetrated. In Colombia, the state was up against a well-equipped and deadly foe: drug cartels. Anyone obstructing them had reason to fear for their lives. Judges wore masks to avoid reprisal killings, a practice that became known as “judges without faces.” Law enforcement officers in Mexico sometimes mask, too, Mr. Isacson said, in areas where drug cartels have a strong presence.

Big news: California, Oregon and Washington State just announced a joint "West Coast Health Alliance" to counter Trump/RFK destruction of our public health system. As I argued last week (see below), this is becoming a new frontier in Dem Gov resistance to Trump.

That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.

There’s a pretty significant drop off between the tier 1 QBs (Allen, Jackson, Hurts, Daniels, maybe Burrow) and tier 2. Whenever the run of QBs starts (3rd or 4th round usually… sometimes people panic reach in the 2nd) try and make sure you’re in position to get one of those guys. Easier said…

Pritzker: "We have reason to believe that the Trump administration has already begun staging the Texas National Guard for deployment in Illinois."

One of the definitive days of this admin imo was the WSJ identifying racist posts from a DOGE staffer - the kind of stuff that would be read out loud to you as HR explains why you're not getting severance - and Vance saying no, we won't let the media cancel people anymore.

NONE of these plans are any more extreme than what Trump is currently doing with the help of the Supreme Court. If Trump can shut down the Department of Education and CFPB, President AOC can shut down ICE. If Trump can kill green energy projects, President Newsom can kill the fossil fuel industry.

Impound ICE's funding and redirect the money toward mass refugee resettlement. Cut off federal funding to states with draconian abortion laws and use the money to build reproductive health clinics in those states instead. End oil and gas subsidies then funnel the money to green energy projects.

Other things the next Democratic president should claim a prerogative to do unilaterally: •establish Medicare for All •forgive all student loans •legalize weed •mandate nationwide non-partisan redistricting It's an emergency! And he's the duly elected commander-in-chief! That's how this works now.
