Not sure why anyone gets upset with the NYTimes and other media any longer over their Biden bashing and Trump behavior blindness. Been baked in for quite sometime. Trump could literally rape Haley on a debate stage and not cause them to stir. He could bomb The NY Times building and the only peep you’d hear would be how hard they worked after to get out the coverage. #politics
From last week: Law and order loving right-wing bloggers get busted with drugs after taking North Carolina #militia on a tour of the #border. According to a police report, there were concerns that the group was aiming guns at migrants.

关于纳瓦尔尼的死亡 ——
故事绝非意料之外。相反，这是普京与纳瓦尔尼的体制内支持方之间对峙的最合理结局。
这是一场伪装成酷刑的有计划的谋杀。通过创造如此大规模的酷刑条件，当局不可能没意识到他的死亡只是时间问题。
这里谈论的不是死亡。而是毁灭。
纳瓦尔尼的死是对现政权体制的严重挑战 —— 对克里姆林宫来说，死去的纳瓦尔尼比活着的纳瓦尔尼更可怕。尤其是死在选举前夕。
因为，活着的纳瓦尔尼只是未来的威胁，而死去的纳瓦尔尼则是当前迫在眉睫的威胁。
威胁不仅仅在于抗议活动，而是在于他的死亡将有助于团结反对派。与活着的纳瓦尔尼相比，作为一面旗帜但没有个人权力野心的纳瓦尔尼，对权力的破坏力更大。
注：上述视频是纳瓦尔尼最后的影像。

Community members chanted “Classrooms, not courtrooms!,” “Homework, not handcuffs!” “Education, not incarceration!,” and “Free, free Timothy!” as a young #Brownsville resident emerged from Cameron County juvenile court.
All charges were dropped against 11-year-old Timothy Murray, the boy who, we previously reported, had been placed in #solitary confinement. @josephinelee brings us this update: https://www.texasobserver.org/judge-dismisses-charges-against-brownsville-isd-honor-student?utm_campaign=mastodon

Donald Trump appears close to invincible in the Republican primaries and caucuses, but despite his commanding victories, the front-runner’s strength among general election voters remains unclear.
AP reports: "His voters so far are overwhelmingly white, mostly older than 50 and generally without a college degree. This, however, is very different than the electorate he could face in November."

How do we know #protests work to change #political opinions?
because #RishiSunak & the #Tories want to ban them....
In the face of a history in which protests have shifted the agenda of #politics, it should be no surprise that the political elite don't want them taking place except under controlled conditions.

If scotus says Presidents are immune from any prosecutions, Biden can break all the justices’ knees with a baseball bat and the justices can’t do anything to stop him or punish him afterwards.
Not that I’m saying he should do that…
There were two coup attempts:
(1) a Presidential coup that has not (yet) succeeded, but had a flashpoint with the insurrection of January 6, 2021.
(2) a Judicial coup in which Mitch McConnell denied President Obama a Supreme Court appointment. then rushed Justice Barrett onto the bench. That coup succeeded.
Don't give up. We need to show the same courage the abolitionists, suffragettes, and civil rights activists had then, to save our democracy now.
Kamala Harris is an underrated asset - Despite her near-flawless performance over the past year, do not expect the media to send out any “Kamala comeback” stories, let alone mea culpas for their excessively negative evaluations. https://wapo.st/3SRyiGf #Politics
