Why is it that every modern Nation on the planet offers universal healthcare and free college except the one that says: WE ARE THE GREATEST?

Explain this lie.

At its core, Trumpism is the belief that might makes right. Money and power are the coin of the realm, not treating other people as you’d like to be treated. This is intoxicating to its adherents. It empowers their worst impulses.

The elite dancing on a floor held up by regular people. Words: "A little party never killed nobody."

While the elite toast under chandeliers, the common people hold up the floor beneath them. Their laughter echoes off walls built from our labor — but the cracks are showing, & someday, the floor will rise.

Today, we rise by voting blue!

Krasnov knows his supports are either too dumb or too complicit to question anything he says or does.

This is an excellent idea!!!

Thousands Of Jailed Immigrants in Chicago Have Vanished From Federal Records, Human Rights Attorneys Claim "These are folks that have been here for decades, have long standing ties to the community, family members, employment, businesses that are all being torn apart," said one attorney

Vanishing people from records is part of the protocol used by death squads and the worst South American dictatorships.

Sick of the hypocrisy

Trump's National Guard deployments aren't random. They were planned years ago President Trump and several others now high up in his second administration have been talking about using the National Guard to help with mass deportations — and possibly invoking the Insurrection Act...

Katie Miller is threatening the citizenship of a critic | Arwa Mahdawi Threatening to deport your critics, even those with US citizenship, seems to have become Maga policy

Katie Miller threatened a Turkish-American lawyer/comedic political pundit with a deportation investigation when he called out her lies on a podcast show. Like wife,like husband, it seems. Working that angle to denaturalize those who emigrated legally if they dare to criticize MAGA.

Newsom: "He is not screwing around. He's changing the rules. He's rigging the game because he knows he'll lose if all things are equal. He did not expect California to fight fire with fire."

Abstract: Autocrats depend on a capable secret police. Anecdotal evidence, however, often characterizes agents as surprisingly mediocre in skill and intellect. To explain this puzzle, this article focuses on the career incentives underachieving individuals face in the regular security apparatus. Low-performing officials in hierarchical organizations have little chance of being promoted or filling lucrative positions. To salvage their careers, these officials are willing to undertake burdensome secret police work. Using data on all 4,287 officers who served in autocratic Argentina (1975–83), we study biographic differences between secret police agents and the entire recruitment pool. We find that low-achieving officers were stuck within the regime hierarchy, threatened with discharge, and thus more likely to join the secret police for future benefits. The study demonstrates how state bureaucracies breed mundane career concerns that produce willing enforcers and cement violent regimes. This has implications for the understanding of autocratic consolidation and democratic breakdown

If you lower the standards, degrade the organizational culture so anything goes, you attract people drawn to that environment; people who cannot make it in other work environments. These are not the people who want excercising state power over your liberty. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1...

This story is insane. A man who posted a meme of Trump saying “we have to get over it” in a discussion about the CK shooting has been in jail for 2 months with a $2M bond. Meanwhile, the man who actually threatened to kill Hakeem Jeffries is out on bail.

Remember this lady?
This what we should be doing every time we see them in public.

She deserves a gold medal 🥇.
