Will someone get an atlas for Tucker Carlson? He doesn't know the difference between Samoa and India or Jamaica. in addition to the slimy racist intent, this shows who is the dummy, Tucker!

Does anyone know if there is a list of attendees of the 1939 American Bund Rally at MSG in the public record somewhere?

Check old newspapers of that era. This is a good start. https://newspapers.ushmm.org/events/american-nazis-rally-in-new-york-city

The Holocaust Museum in DC, which this is from, has links to 55,000 articles. https://newspapers.ushmm.org/search/advanced

The big names will be identified. But if you mean lists of the 20,000 people there, nope. I doubt there is a list of who attended the NY rally.

Just wondering if anyone’s father may have been there, for instance. Like if your father had been arrested in 1927 during a KKK brawl, perhaps he may have had similar inclinations 12 years later.

Just wondering.

Well, I suppose somebody COULD explain the economics of tariffs to trump - but I can't imagine who, or how.

Building blocks, maybe? Or soft toys?

Trump told a Bloomberg expert he didn't know anything about tariffs. In Trump world, only he is the genius/expert. How such an idiot is still around!

My allegiance is rapidly being moved from WaPo to The Bulwark!

Action step for folks here - We must help get more Democratic voters to the polls in swing states! Let’s support those tireless folks who are door-knocking, phone banking, & text banking till - and including - Election day! But how are those likely Blue voters located?

Field Team 6 is the only organization that identifies likely Democrats, gets them to register, then nudges them to vote. Their approach gains new Democratic votes for only $2.24 for 1 new vote - a fraction of other organizations’ cost-per-vote. But they need names, addresses, and phone numbers of who to approach.

Democrat Janet Protasiewicz was elected to the Wisconsin Supreme Court in August 2023 - as a direct result of Field Team 6’s outreach.

Even now, there are a dozen states where you can still register to vote - some even on election day. And in any swing state, volunteers can still go door knocking, phone banking, & text banking. As little as 10 or 20 votes per precinct can enable Democrats to win.

Join me in donating at https://www.fieldteam6.org/ Their research identifies the people who doorknockers and phone bankers need to approach.

To check out Field Team 6’s impact, see https://www.fieldteam6.org/_files/ugd/c03fe4_ca47cde71737499492a602eb46bf0aba.pdf - They have a very impressive track record of getting more people to vote Democratic.

Who will help? Can I see a show of hands? (I’m too tired to go door-knocking - I’ve sent out 500 postcards in the past several weeks.)

The Trump campaign didn’t condone some of the rhetoric at the MSG rally, even they set all of it up and orchestrated every detail.

Kind of how Trump didn’t really have anything to do with the January 6 peaceful march to the capitol, even when they also set that up and organized it also!

I woke up this morning thinking of this. Even more appalling is the number of big Rs who are STILL refusing to stop him - Romney, Ryan, the Bushes (though his granddaughter, I think, is endorsing Harris), etc. COWARDS, EVERY ONE OF THEM.

As a native New York the thought of him in the same place where I attended Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel and Paul McCartney concerts as well as Knick games, the circus and the Ice Capades with my children is disturbing. WhenI read this beautiful piece It actually made me cry.

we should quit fighting the prison thing and instead lean into it and define it as political prisoners which would create a whole new context as to why they are in prison. basically play it they are in prison for political reasons not crime reasons

"The operation showed why the IAF is the envy of the region; Iran’s air force was no match."

Yes, bc of USA tech and intelligence. Maybe netenyahoo should remember this and not act like a gop campaign operative while bombing innocent people bc his security forces failed his people catastrophically......

The section of Bill Kristol's essay talking about the 1970 Knicks at MSG brought tears to my naturalized American eyes when I got to this sentence: "That America is the America some of us see when we think of Madison Square Garden." Great respect!

I'm proud to be an enemy from within. Orange Jesus might be surprised how many of us there are and how many are well armed.

Tim's a busy boy today. He's on now with Nicole Wallace, and was on earlier as well. Nicole's Deadline White House is normally a pretty good show. Informative. They're talking about why people like Bezos, etc. aren't opposing Trump. One of the speakers was saying that Bezos and others are forgetting that the richest person in Russia (can't remember his name) and was Putin's pal until he wasn't, and supporting Putin didn't save him in the end. Putin broke his businesses and ultimately had him killed. So bowing down to Trump won't save them. And Tim just said it makes no sense for them bowing down to Trump when normal people aren't afraid of opposing them, like former Trump admin people, Liz, others. If the people with real money and power are afraid of Trump, what does that say about them, and the US.

If i were a conspiracy theorist i might suspect Tim has a small army of clones or Tim-bots.
