Captured from The New Republic

Additional context: Brett Cross' son was murdered in Uvalde while DPS waited 90 minutes before taking action. The image here is of the troops deployed “at the direction of Texas Governor Greg Abbott, in order to prevent any unlawful assembly”... ostensibly acting against nonviolent student protests regarding Gaza and Palestine... a complex topic.

Yup. This feels exactly right

“To want to be better than we are is admirable, but to believe that we are better than we are is fatal to the ability to get a handle on why so many bad things happen here.”

Loved this article. Best line:
"Donald Trump’s superpower is not his money or fame but the fact that he is the human embodiment of Stupid America."

It's easy to be stupid. That's why roughly half the country is choosing stupidity right now. Make the effort to do better.

From Heather Cox Richarson today:

Egyptian journalist Emad El Din Adeeb asked Carlson why, when interviewing Putin, he “did not talk about Navalny, about assassinations, about restrictions on opposition in the coming elections.” Carlson replied by equating Russia and the U.S., saying: “Every leader kills people…. Some kill more than others. Leadership requires killing people.”

OMG. Let that last sentence sit with you for a while. This is the thought leadership of MAGA and the GOP.
