Don’t ever fall for Republicans’ lies about them respecting law and order or wanting peace. They very clearly do not and never have; what they want is to kill everyone who has even the slightest disagreement with them

Journalism is dead. Or at least, journalism as long as it is staffed, funded, and led by persons with elite credentials, Ivy League educations, and have family ties to decades long wealthy families should be considered dead

The gratitude I have for the people working to bring us translations of books that have been out in other countries for decades cannot be understated. This timeline sucks but it has given us some amazing pieces of literature in English for the first time in many cases and that makes me happy.

Local advocacy is more important than ever. It's overwhelming to think about how to fix [motions to everything] but I can make it safer for seniors to cross the street, for kids to bike to school, for people to have places to meet in public space... all of which build and strengthen our democracy.

Yes, call your elected representatives in Washington, but also:

Show up to a community board meeting. Run for for school board. Organize your neighbors. There's a lot of manageable things you can do. Everything helps.

Why does David Frum, one of the propagandists of the Iraq War and a true Conservative believer, still have a platform?

WEAK

It's an illegal war. They lied to us. They have no plan.

Skip to the part where we impeach, convict, and remove them.

All of them.

This isn’t reformable

I’ve never even been in the service but this is incredibly dumb

Like it should be clear how idiotic such a suggestion this is

It’s disappointing that this is now the kind of opinion that is seen as controversial when it’s a bold truth

It’s disappointing to see democracy come this far and just … fail

And that’s who the American people voted for

Remember when Trump went before all those economists and financial titans to talk about his fiscal plan … and completely bombed?

He had zero concept of any financial strategy, could provide next to nothing in terms of specifics, and just hand waved his way through it

What Senator Cotton says here would be a bad defense for the Germans convicted in WWI and WWII war crimes trials -- including for firing on shipwrecked in fully operational lifeboats.

This line of response hurts the US and US servicemembers. It will cause long-term damage unless we get this right.

She’s right

True activism means taking a stand, putting one’s life & livelihood on the line. It doesn’t mean solely posting online and it certainly doesn’t mean saying a president should step down, then speaking out relatively little while living abroad with huge sums of wealth on hand 👀

Also, what is even the point of having Slytherin realistically? I get narratively, but in what universe would a school openly have/endorse/assist a club which (as part of its’ explicit purpose) is to house literally evil children (or byproducts of evil people)?

Make it make sense

Somebody explain to me how the end of Harry Potter: The Philosopher’s/Sorcerer’s Stone - with Gryffindor winning over Slytherin - is at all just? Like in the book did Slytherin cheat for their points or was Dumbledore just like “okay Griffy’s gotta take it” and manipulate shit?

I truthfully believe they’re just that gullible. They are legitimately that undiscerning when it comes to information and so vehemently opposed to their own intelligence agency assessments they will openly say “yeah this guy is great” then point to him singing Blueberry Hill as evidence of that

Where did he even buy this? Cause I have never ever seen this in any store anywhere

I am fully convinced the Republican Party just wants to destroy America; they, for some goddamn reason, truly hate this country, its people, and everything about it and are intent on destroying every aspect of what made/makes it great

Anybody know when or if Burn Bag Gear is coming back anytime soon? I keep checking expecting to see them coming back, but today I even found the page can’t be opened

I’ll hold my breath, but honestly I’m fairly certain most would be glad to see this happen. I don’t think there’d be much outcry with him being replaced by any real leadership, GOP or Democrat.

That said, if he is replaced, then Dems need to hammer the GOP senators who voted “yea”

After watching Roofman, I 100% believe that Channing Tatum would be an exceptional choice in ‘The Forever War’ film version that’s been in production for years now

Once again, Trump likes and admires Putin and wants to help him win

Conservatives (in this case Republicans) hate women, have always hated women, have always made policies to make women 2nd class citizens, and will continue to make women 2nd class citizens

Ofc that’d mean billionaires/millionaires would need to care about Americans and America itself; and they don’t, they only care about it to the extent they have wealth and power

In a way, when it comes to ultra wealthy political donors, that’s the real horseshoe theory in action

Wouldn’t even need to say “cover it with a liberal bend or bias” it would just naturally happen by employing ethical journos who cover the events

And it would drastically shift rural & exterior metropolitan areas blue at best and purple at least

On a related note a great political strategy for Dem billionaires (if they actually cared about democracy which, let’s face it, not really) would be to buy up, fund & staff local newspapers to cover current events

You do know that everyone in both parties involved with this are going to have to go to prison right ?

Like all of them at a minimum must never be allowed to see freedom again.

Every one must go. It’s essential to the reestablishment of democracy that this entire network must go down.

These are second of course
