Sorry the public doesn’t see the world’s biggest companies and richest people pushing enshittified, mediocre, or damaging products as plucky start-ups doing exciting things. But whose fault is that?

The other comment he makes, which cannot be said often enough, is that the Dems are vulnerable on “the issue of religion.” This is not entirely the party’s fault but there is partly the party’s fault in that the party at large accepts as true the media’s idea of what counts as authentic religion.

That was what my book was all about...

This is so grotesque. NO ONE has a right to go to a childcare/daycare center and ask "where are the kids?" It's creepy, dangerous, and SHOULD BE UNLAWFUL. This is why schools and daycare centers always lock doors.

Where are the authorities?

Of course, we knew Trump was paid off to criticize the competing bridge. Was just a matter of confirming the payment.

When being royal and having hereditary power comes with more checks and balances than an elected democracy….

Why is Trump so desperate to revive conspiracy theories about the 2020 election?

Because he’s trying to create the pretext to interfere in 2026.

We see what he is doing and it will not work.

Concentration Camp (noun): A place where large numbers of people, especially members of persecuted minorities, are deliberately imprisoned in a relatively small area with inadequate facilities.
Don't look away. Call ICE detention centers what they are.

Lots of folks asking me who I’d like to vote for in 2028 and my answer reminds the same: it’s AOC.

But I’ll vote for whichever Dem the primary voters choose as their candidate.

the old sack and pillage trade

I’d prefer to live in a country where having #ICE shoot people in the head AND having the president rape kids were both wholly unnecessary but also WILDLY sufficient to end said presidency…

… but if shitty white men can only see fascism thru wallet-colored glasses, BRING IT ON
