I’m looking forward to a day when we no longer call them women’s rights or lgbtq rights or the rights of people of color.
I’m looking forward to a day when we just call them rights.

And through it all, as corporate media hound Harris while sanewashing her opponent even as he melts down before our eyes, as Robert B. Hubbell says,
"Kamala Harris continued to bring her message directly to voters by bypassing major media."
After this election and especially if the results even permit free speech and action, there needs to be a major reckoning of the American people with our shameless media, who have betrayed us.
Jess Piper, who lives in deep-red rural Missouri, says that when she knocks on doors of neighbors as she campaigns for Democrats, neighbors tell her they agree with her on issue after issue.
But they cannot vote Democratic. Why?:
"They are under the impression that Christians can’t vote for Democrats. Where did they get that talking point? Their church."

Baby Dolls and Trump Parades and Lies
I don’t know if you’ve noticed this, but at Democratic rallies and events and gatherings, there is always someone with a clipboard or a QR code to register voters.Jess Piper (The View from Rural Missouri by Jess Piper)
"It’s hard not to feel out of control, knowing that in less than 30 days, win or lose, a significant number of Americans (literally tens of millions) are going to go to the polls and vote for fascism."

"Even with Trump and Vance turning every rally into a Two Minutes Hate about immigrants, the race remains a toss-up, and a startlingly large number of Americans back his mass deportation plans. This makes it more vital than ever to ensure he’s defeated in November."

"In the end, it’s a binary choice. And we cannot look away from the fact that all of these people, some of whom many of you likely know well, will decide that they prefer an America under Trump than under Harris."

How Can This Be Happening?
How is this even close?Elliot Kirschner (Through the Fog, by Elliot Kirschner)
"But despite his fear-mongering fantasy that whips up his rally crowds, the real danger stems from a possible second term for this hateful, vengeful, violent and increasingly desperate liar who yearns to be a dictator. First in Aurora, Colorado, and then in Coachella, California, Trump’s demagoguery was on full display, showcasing what’s in store if he returns to the nation’s highest office."

"This weekend Donald Trump ratcheted up the rhetoric, pushing the lie that the existential danger facing America is murderous migrants who have 'occupied' our country and a political rival who has 'unleashed' this 'bloodthirsty' terror."

Confronting the Danger Before Us
Once again, but with increasing hysteria and apocalyptic rhetoric, Donald Trump is showcasing his dark, demagogic desires. Kamala Harris must confront this to seal the deal and win the electionSteven Beschloss (America, America)
"He is no longer just talking about keeping immigrants out of the country, building a wall and banning Muslims from entering the United States. Trump now warns that migrants have already invaded, destroying the country from inside its borders, which he uses as a means to justify a second-term policy agenda that includes building massive detention camps and conducting mass deportations."

"Politico has put out a piece confirming what we already know. The headline is: We watched 20 Trump rallies. His racist, anti-immigrant messaging is getting darker."

"This is how former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, the nation’s highest-ranking military officer and the primary military advisor to the president, the secretary of defense, and the National Security Council, described former president Donald Trump to veteran journalist Bob Woodward. Trump appointed Milley to that position. ...
Trump’s behavior is Authoritarianism 101."

“He is the most dangerous person ever.Heather Cox Richardson (Letters from an American)

On the impossibility of summing this stuff up

America’s choice: Do voters want to live in reality, or a dangerous dream world?
Donald Trump's Aurora rally about an invented gang takeover epitomized a campaign based on fantastical lies and true believers.Will Bunch (The Philadelphia Inquirer)
"Rarely in history has America faced such a clear choice between authoritarianism and democracy, between moral squalor and decency. Why don’t more people see this?"

There's an elitist, totally unearned, whiff of moral superiority on the above-the-fray pretenses of many journalists at NYT and elsewhere in the corporate media. They want to dictate to the rest of us the "correct" (both-sideist) way to view moral issues regarding which they themselves refuse to take sides even when one side threatens to unravel the entire social fabric. Then they want to snark and preen and posture when called to accountability.

And as she concludes, pointing to what Kevin Kruse says,
"That, in essence, is the issue with these headlines."
Barbaro's snarky response to Sullivan puts on full display all over again the morally vacuous arrogance that is the heart of the matter in the elite media's eschewal of honest reporting on the threat a political party now turned full fascist poses to American democracy.

"But juxtapose it with the Trump headline, which takes a hate-filled trope and treats it like some sort of lofty intellectual interest.
That headline, wrote Stevens, 'could apply to an article about a Nobel prize winner in genetic studies.'”
Sullivan cites Kevin Kruse:
"Historians: He’s a fascist. Political scientists: He’s a fascist. His own aides: He’s a fascist. The NYT: He shows a wistful longing for a bygone era of global politics."

Barbaro co-hosts New York Times' Daily podcast. He responded to Sullivan's agreement with Stevens:
"“Care to explain what the issue is with these headlines?”
As she suggests, Barbaro knows full well what's wrong with them. But she explains anyway so that more of us can open our eyes and see what's going on.
The Harris headline is "a negative headline over a dubious story." It's the Times continuing its ugly attacks on Harris, in short.

"Commenting on the second headline, the author Stuart Stevens, who writes about how democracies turn into autocracies, suggested: 'These two headlines should be studied in journalism classes for decades.'"
Sullivan reports that she responded (on Twitter/X) to Stevens, saying, "Not a bad idea," and got a snarky and supercilious (my words) reply from young whippersnapper (my words) Michael Barbaro.

A headline claiming (mendaciously) that Harris is refusing to make her policies clear to media read:
"In interviews, Kamala Harris continues to bob and weave."
"The other, on a story about Trump’s alarming language about migrants as carriers of supposedly impure bloodlines and genes read: In remarks about migrants, Donald Trump invoked his long-held fascination with genes and genetics."

"Positioned directly next to each other, as they were on the Times site, they were quickly seen as a microcosm of What the Hell is Wrong with Media Today. 'This arrangement and editorial gloss may stand for, capture, the journalism about the entire campaign,' noted Josh Marshall, the founder of Talking Points Memo."

Margaret Sullivan offers insightful commentary on what was colossally wrong with the New York Times' choice to juxtapose clashing headlines about Kamala Harris and Trump on its site recently — and what's very wrong with the corporate media's continued both-sidesism as they report on this presidential election.
She writes:

"As Ammar Moussa, Kamala Harris’s Director of Rapid Response, pointed out on Twitter, Trump hasn’t done a mainstream press interview in a month; and his last 26 interviews were with conservative media and podcasters. Trump’s newfound reticence is in particular contrast with Kamala Harris and Tim Walz’s recent media blitz."

As Dan Pfeiffer notes, while corporate media hound Kamala Harris with claims she's avoiding the media – and she's not – Trump actually is doing just that.
"Trump’s campaign thinks their best path to victory is for swing voters to see as little of Trump as possible."
Because, as Pfeiffer notes, Trump's brain is melting….
