Your description of John Kennedy's behavior (and career) is spot on. Thanks for including it; it's a reminder of what we are constantly battling.

I lived in New Orleans for 5 yrs. I want to be continually surprised at the depths of hatred spewed by Sen Kennedy. Watching that video prompted me to call his office and tell the woman answering the phone just how despicable and depraved a person he is. I am SO angry!

It's at the point where the news about the MAGAscum everyday results in me being where "if my thought dreams could be seen, they'd put my head in a guillotine."

Re: exploding pagers and walkie-talkies...many people - too many - are actually complimenting Mossad and Israel for "a job well done", as this nefarious attack is considered "good terrorism", coz Hezbollah. And bit by bit, the so-called "laws" governing use of deadly force and weapons against non-military targets get chipped away.

Oh, of course, spox for Western governments frantically rushed out the usual pitiable "please, let's de-escalate" to those attacked, as retaliation is ONLY within the province of Israel, whereas Iran, Lebanon, and Syria just have to suck it up, coz "regional war".

The fact that banning conversion therapy is necessary is awful.

Will Kennedy or Canon face any consequences outside of MSNBC? Of course not.

Regarding Springfield, what Trump and Vance have said, and keep saying, is that white people need to be afraid of non-white people, because they are whatever white people are afraid of. (losing money, jobs, or housing. Spreading disease, crime, violence … whatever it is.)

We all know Springfield, the mythical town of the “The Simpsons” but it was inspired by “Father Knows Best” (1949) a post war light comedy of American family set in Springfield The show espoused family values helping to shape the American suburban dream. Everyone was white.

So the real Springfield in OH represents a deeply entrenched symbol of white America being devoured by anything not matching the white American dream. This is populist race baiting where all non-whites lose.

It really grates on me how Vance had fanned the flames of racism and he’s getting a pass on the deeper and darker message.

I like that the headline grammar conflates Trump-Vance with a singular object!
