(1/X) I wanted to do another quick thing about the NYT's sane-washing of Trump and how it relates to similar things I have seen at work. I want to restrict to the Times here because while other outlets sane-wash too...

Spot the illegal migrant.

Oh, you can’t tell any difference?

Neither will Trump’s militia.

Entire Latino community is facing a massive threat from Trump’s fascist round up plans.

New: Ziklag and the Courage Tour, the far-right groups that hosted the Republican vice-presidential nominee, are charities that can't legally intervene in political campaigns. https://t.co/BYISdYO7z9

The Irish know oppressive colonizers when they see them

Do it Ireland, DO IT

[Texas Tribune @TexasTribune]

In three Texas counties, at least nine U.S. citizens were mistakenly labeled as noncitizens or removed from voter rolls for not responding to letters questioning their citizenship. https://t.co/tvRULTMWlN

Donald Trump just insulted every American autoworker, saying that "a child could do it."

UAW autoworkers: Do you think Donald Trump could do your job?

This is way beyond than anything I I am capable of

#RDAntirracista: We have issued an urgent action 🚨 demanding President @luisabinader to end the collective expulsions of Haitian people and respect and protect everyone from racial discrimination.

NEW POLL: Economists expect higher inflation, deficits, interest rates under Donald Trump than Kamala Harris https://t.co/jz8zoiLVJw

New data from @glaad shows that 10 of 93 anti-LGBTQ+ incidents in Texas in the last two years can be traced back to Chaya Raichik, the notorious online hatemonger better known as Libs Of TikTok.

🚨Caught on today’s livestream — adding debris behind podium before DeSantis presser.

Ron has no shame — he’s spent weeks accusing everyone else of politicizing this disaster while ordering workers to window dress his press conference.

@cjacuff Yeah I'm thankful I'll be at a mock trial competition and won't be able to watch

[Andrew Smith @ahsmith923]

@cjacuff I stand by my previous comment

[Andrew Smith @ahsmith923]

@cjacuff So far, we're following the trajectory Heupel had at UCF: awesome 1st season, decent 2nd season, mediocre at best 3rd season

[Andrew Smith @ahsmith923]

Idk at least Michael felt guilty after his stunt

[Jake M. Grumbach @JakeMGrumbach]

Kinda iconic to live out an episode of Scott’s Tots basically once a month

[Michael McDonald @ElectProject]

At the 29 minute mark of this Prince William County Electoral Board meeting, you'll hear the country registrar report he had to remove a citizen who had proved their citizenship *five times* to his office because of Youngkin's policies https://t.co/eJujOTcIrB

[Andrew Smith @ahsmith923]

Does anyone know if there's an immigration equivalent of the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion"? If not, how long do you think before one is rolled out? #FuckTrump

[Mike (not a) Rothschild @rothschildmd]

This is the language that starts pogroms. It's very close to blood libel, and absolutely unacceptable.

[Andrew Smith @ahsmith923]

Also, your daily reminder that state supreme court elections matter!

[Taniel @Taniel]

In Minnesota, a nonpartisan candidate is running for state supreme court, saying he wants an "independent judiciary." His social media history strongly clarifies his political preferences.

Tarrant County in Texas, the nation’s 15th-largest, provides a unique glimpse into the impact of far-right leadership as Judge Tim O’Hare and his policies shape the direction of local governance. https://t.co/ACPa915DTY
