It’s not that they didn’t learn from the past, it’s that they don’t think the past was a mistake.

Trump's Social Security Administration commissioner just called for a 50% staff reduction.

This would gut SSA field offices and make it harder for millions of seniors to access benefits.Β 

Make no mistake: this is an attack on Social Security itself.

That’s about 25%. Google the 25 % rule. The remainder are too ignorant of recent events to know better.

I can't believe I got through so many years without hearing people use the word "bespoke" and now everyone and their dog uses it.

There's no denying that they protected trump from bad publicity when they chose not to do the same for the D candidate previously.

This is a clear example of media bias, and such bias is mutually exclusive with "pretty fair".

If you find it suitable to your tastes, ok. But politico is not "fair".

Actively waiting for you all to go out of business after you sheltered trump from his own actions by keeping his secrets.

In STARK contrast to your willingness to torpedo Clinton's 2016 campaign by printing leaks.

And the other wasn’t doing the same to me? Tribalism is stupid. Defending the one you agree with when they do wrong also is how we got here.

I think you just need someone to blame. Perfectly human response. Such bluster about it is unnecessary, though.

You’re taking the actions of a minority and blaming a whole group. Not very democratic of you.

If you can afford to write them off, why are you complaining about them?

Keep losing elections to trumpers and see how that’s better than solidarity, then.

If you don’t explain why, it lets them create their own twisted narrative to blame you. Great job.

β€œHi Chris, this is Jill from Newsmax-β€œ continues on to ask me to appear on a Super Bowl preview segment

My response - β€œHi Jill, thanks for reaching out, unfortunately I have a strict policy of not working with people who back autocrats and dictators, let alone those are at this very moment in the process of destroying the constitutional separation of power that makes companies like you own able to function independently, as opposed to be government propaganda, so I’m going to have to regretfully decline.”

Reddit is banning the mods of LGBTQ friendly subs and then banning the sub because it has no moderation. Several important resources for trans people were unceremoniously banned last night for no real reason other than to comply with trumpism.

Reddit is dead.

After November, I'd say that group has done quite enough damage already and it's time for the people who say they're defending democracy to get their shit together and stop watching the pretty flames.

I feel like I'm being told about how the planet is dying and if I don't use a few straws I can save it, meanwhile huge powerful interests are doing absolutely nothing while screaming about how I must stop using straws.

Why do I feel like there are large powerful interests doing absolutely nothing?
