Goodbye now!” (Dolce Gabbana)??
On a song called Endless Fashion???
This is the slick shit that keeps me coming back I fear.
We don’t have a functioning media and press, we have a bunch of bitch ass cowards like @jaketapper who follow orders. Trump sent federal agents after their fellow journalists like two days ago and he couldn’t bring that up?? Just scrap the entire industry and let’s start over.
Wow. Not a single tweet (or retweet) from @jaketapper about Mitch McConnell in the past 24 hours.
The hypocrisy is astounding. Meanwhile an entire book pretending that Biden being old was some crazy scandal. Zero credibility.
Instead of calling on Republicans to play fair, ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING!! Call a special election and force their hand, ffs. You *literally* have the authority to do that.
I publicly and privately urged the last administration to address the public’s concerns with the former president’s health. I’m calling on Sen. McConnell to do the same and provide voters an update on his own health. Let’s end the crazy speculation. Just tell us what’s going on.
Look how uncomfortable the normally-cocky Scott Jennings looks here when asked to defend Trump’s treatment of E Jean Carroll which a civil court found to be liability for sexual abuse.
A reminder that Dems should still be going much bigger on all the allegations against Trump.
WATCH: Here’s new video showing 400 white nationalist Patriot Front
members marching in Washington D.C. today with Confederate flags, etc.
A streamer with the group described it as a “total Aryan victory.”
WTF is this?
Mamdani: There is a term so often used to describe our nation and those who have shaped it: American exceptionalism.
American exceptionalism, the conventional wisdom tells us, makes our freedom a little more free, is how we dug the Erie Canal and irrigated the West, is why children in far away lands grow up dreaming of one day moving here.
And yet the irony is that the story of America has so often been written by those who were told by others with power and influence and wealth that they were anything but exceptional.
For generation after generation, we have been told that when the world has sent its people to our shores, it has not sent its best. It sent Puritans and Sikhs and Quakers and Muslims and Jewish people who were banished for praying the wrong way, worshipping the wrong Gods, angering the wrong people. It sent peasants and serfs from who were treated as less because they hardly owned clothes, let alone land. It sent immigrants for whom power was something someone else had.
We are told that America is exceptional because we are richer, stronger, more powerful than everyone else.
The truth, my friends, is that America is exceptional because here, nothing is fixed into place. The frontier may be closed, we may have walked on the moon, but the work of fulfilling the values first enshrined in the Declaration of Independence-that work endures, my friends, and it belongs to us all.
It belongs too to our newest Americans, those standing here with me today, all of whom were recently naturalized. Nearly a decade ago, I too felt what you feel— the joy of no longer being just a New Yorker, but an American too.
New York City Mayor Mamdani just gave one of the most amazing speeches you will ever hear:
"We are told that America is exceptional because we are richer, stronger, and more powerful than everyone else.
"The truth, my friends, is that America is exceptional because here, nothing is fixed into place. The frontier may be closed. We may have walked on the moon. But the work of fulfilling the values first enshrined in the Declaration of Independence — that work endures, and it belongs to us all.
"It belongs, too, to our newest Americans: those standing here with me today, all of whom were recently naturalized. Nearly a decade ago, I, too, felt what you feel: the joy of no longer being just a New Yorker, but an American, too.
"You each hold a special power: the power to determine what America means.
"The powerful have always known their answer. America, in their view, is an arena of supremacy where only a select few are allowed freedom; where not all are created equal. America, if you ask them, becomes less the more people it welcomes. America, they will tell you, belongs only to those with the right accent or the right shade of skin. The rest of us, they insist, should be grateful for merely being allowed to visit.
"How small they are. How weak. How unoriginal.
"At every moment in our past, those who led through exclusion and isolation have tried to win power and enrich themselves by turning us against one another. Division is the oldest trick in politics — and the cheapest.
"But time and again, including 250 years ago, those forces of division have been vanquished by the forces of progress."
