New York’s governor unleashed a blistering takedown of Magas everywhere and it’s eye-opening to hear a high-up speak so honestly
Pushing back on the Maga movement presents a real conundrum. The far-right operate in such a grotesque space, it’s hard to meet where they’re at without getting sullied in the process.

Her words, “This bullshit has to stop”, cut through the usual political euphemisms. But the real question isn’t whether her outrage is justified. It’s why it took this long for institutional actors to say it out loud.

This dress down of the overt shittiness and hypocrisy of the modern day Republican Party should be happening every fucking hour or every fucking day.
