There is no celebrating on the left.

That's what Dems appearing on network and cable news need to say. Make the talking heads prove they're wrong. The corporate media is falling all over itself to carry water for the RW and allow false allegations from trump and maga to fill most of their airwaves. We need to call it out simply, bluntly, and directly.

If there are ANY actual examples of "celebrations" by real people, the media should be forced to reveal them. Show the clips, the quotes, whatever.

If Dems don't start speaking up, the media and maga will learn that they can get away with ANYTHING. Consider this a warm up for the midterms and the next election because both entities are just going to get worse. Call them liars. Make them prove the BS they're spouting. It's really not difficult.

1. No. But, there certainly seems to be celebration in progress on the right:

His widow has announced she wants "Taylor Swift Concert to look like nothing" (compared to her planned 'celebration of life event at Arizona State Farm Stadium--where Swift kicked off her record-breaking Eras Tour). Note: this was in OK Magazine online, apparently. I somehow got the 'alert' an hour ago.

Sounds like devastating grief to me, right? I'd bet the "record crowd" she somehow gets there will all be mournful as well, right?
