The christofascist GOP doesn't want to govern; they are making a grab at the brass ring, allowing them to rule unchecked.

First porn, now YouTube, ID checks to access the internet are creeping in.

China & Russia started this way. Now their internet is locked down: no anonymity, no dissent, total surveillance.

We are sleepwalking into total fascism. Don’t buy the β€œprotect the kids” excuse. They want total control.

Titan submersible disaster was β€˜preventable’ tragedy, Coast Guard says The Titan submersible maker’s β€œintimidation tactics” and failure to follow established safety practices led to the disaster that killed five, a federal investigation finds.

The submersible implosion that killed five aboard a Titanic dive was β€œpreventable,” the U.S. Coast Guard said Tuesday.

The investigation blames OceanGate for ignoring protocols, using β€œintimidation tactics” and exploiting regulatory loopholes.

It never fails: someone will post something with a headline like this, about the deep structural problems that infringe on kids’ lives and freedoms, and someone will inevitably say β€œsome people just shouldn’t have kids!”

My sibling in Christ, that is 1) not the issue and 2) eugenics?

DHS says Jose’s a dangerous criminal. So where’s the warrant?

ICE tried to snatch him outside his home. No warning, no paperwork. Jose barely made it inside before they started kicking his door.

DHS says he’s got a violent record. But local court records say those charges were dismissed.

Ordinarily it might be fun to call Texas law enforcement agencies and anonymously report seeing Democratic legislators in various places around the state.

But my understanding is that there is still devastation from the flooding that they need to focus on, even if their governor doesn’t care.

If all they do is rig maps to keep power, why do we need them?

This isn’t governance,it’s control.

Gerrymandering isn’t strategy, it’s surrender. They’ve stopped trying to earn votes. If this is their only play, the real question is: why are we still letting them?
