How Genocide Happened

Front page of Scottish newspaper The National today.

It’s of note that during tonight’s hearing the DoJ didn’t even try to make the case that changing conditions on the ground in Portland warranted the CA National Guard. Instead they relied on legal technicalities. Proving again that what they say in court is different than lies they tell the public.

Chicago priest Father Michael Pfleger: "The state of emergency is in AMERICA, not Chicago. It's birthed from this president and his admin's reign of terror."

THE PURGE

Polls show that Project 2025 didn’t resonate. Voters thought it wasn’t real. Well, now we’re living it and it’s already 47% implemented after only 9 months.

Trump’s shutdown is a shortcut: gut the federal workforce, fire career experts, replace them with loyalists. Laid out in P2025.

Republicans of course. Who is in the majority in the House and the Senate? Isn't the president acting as a Republican?

Anyone who blames Democrats are showing off their ignorance.

OLIVER: “I’d argue @disney & Bob Iger need to stand by @jimmykimmel and his staff — history is also going to remember the cowards who knew better. Giving the bully your lunch money doesn’t make him go away, it just makes him come back hungrier each time.” 🎯

it is interesting to me... that we have observed in the span of two weeks the remembrances of two lives

and the response to those two lives is very different ... what has been left behind polar opposites

It's almost as if ... what you do matters

Mike - How are we supposed to alert Americans that your party is acting in a fascist manner then?

Alternative option. Your party could stop acting like fascists. Then we would not need to alert people of your behavior.

We told you. He only cares about himself.

How can you post this without mentioning what the truth is about the decrease in crime in DC for the past 3 decades?

It's shameful.

How f-in dumb is he to think anyone would fall first that BS?!

Raskin: In any event, if he really cared about public safety in DC… he would not have pardoned 1600 insurrectionists and violent cop beaters on his first day in office. 

1/DOJ is investigating whether Obama officials violated fed’l law while investigating Russian involvement in the 2016 election. Revisiting 10-year-old events, thoroughly investigated by a special counsel appt’d by Trump & a GOP-led Senate Cmte w/out any prosecutions smacks of political interference.

Tens of thousands of cornflowers in a field in Wicken. Research shows that the sight of them will help you recover from sources of stress more quickly & boost dopamine release in your brain, lifting your mood…in case you need it just now:

Billionaires don’t need more tax breaks and benefits when
- The minimum wage hasn’t been raised in almost 20 years
- Inability to afford healthcare is at a new high
- 77% of households can’t afford a median-priced home

Stop giving everything to people who already have everything.

I love this so much!

How it started How it’s going

Charlie Kirk suddenly trusts Epstein’s “closest friend for 10 years” edition

I wish you weren’t so alone in understanding how f-d up the rep party is.

AOC: "On this point of tax on tips, as one of the only people in this body who has lived off of tips, I want to tell you a little bit about the scam ... the cap on that is $25,000 while you're jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,000 across the US ... while kicking them off the ACA."

If you hate the idea of abortions, men:

Don't fuck.
Wear a condom.
Get a vasectomy.
Find a woman who also doesn't want abortions. Plenty exist.

You're 50% of the conception process. You're empowered to make choices for your turgid sperm rocket.

You're just not empowered to make MY choices.

personally would like to see every store show what part of the price increase is due to tariffs bc if these tariffs ever come down, i need to see that price go right back down

What hypotheses are they testing?

This

What is the ‘this’ you are referring to?

Where did you get this photo?

Sadly. We’ve done so much bad. To the indigenous peoples, to the people brought here against their will from Africa, to the Japanese, to the Chinese. The list goes on.

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him.

He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons.

He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him.

He’s defying the Supreme Court.

Don’t you see what’s happening here?

Ahhh. Yes. Thanks for clarifying.
