Tortured Typewriter

Sort of feels like it's already Mamdani

Me either.
It started with a British guy on YouTube that I'd never seen before, laying out a well-reasoned case why America is now a fascist country with examples and then he says it's time to start isolating us. I mean, I agree. It was still still a bit of a moment.

But Hunter and Burisma

My algorithms have shifted and started showing me more foreign sources watching, documenting, warning about the fascism/authoritarianism here.

WaPo is fully mask off now.
I saw the video intro from that OReilly dude about the Opinions podcast and it was insane.

🎯

I replied that I was willing to hear what he knew if he could post an example. No reply.
He doesn't comment often, but when he does it's always emotional and completely without any details.
I can post a court transcript and he'll call it a lie.
I don't know how you get through to people like that.

Old classmate that I still have on FB commented on a post I made of a video of Schiff listing all the questions Noem refused to answer. He called him a liar and made a condescending remark about libs. I asked what he lied about. And he just replied "if you think he's not lying..." with no facts.

Is there such a thing as a correspondent crush? I might have one.

God dammit

I'd probably sleep better without them.

Antifa is kind of like people who fly pirate flags on their RVs. There is no pirate governing organization that approves new members. Anyone can decide to identify as a pirate.

But if you aren't forcefully boarding other people's vessels to plunder them, then you aren't a fucking pirate.

They're all known instigators farming for outrage and content.

nailed the vibe

Oregon National Guard troops can remain under Trump’s control but cannot deploy to Portland: appeals court The administrative hold, or stay, issued by the 9th Circuit is temporary and imposed while the court considers a more permanent response.

9th circuit upholds stay on Guard in Portland.
Arguments will be heard 9am and be streamed live from court website. No ruling from the bench.

NOTE: Leavitt says Trump will "stop by for his routine yearly check up."

But…Trump had his annual check up already. 5 months ago. On April 11.

Huh... and Pam just said they have one of the founders in custody. How old is she?

God dammit

Black background, a blurred screenshot of a Trump tweet from 2020 saying he's thinking about declaring antifa a terrorist organization, and very large white text that says "antifa is not an organization" and "Black Lives Matter"

If you go to antifa(dot)org, it takes you the Library of Congress web archives. All the page captures just show this from circa 2020:

Thank you
I enjoyed the peek into the deliberations over language.

I've got a repeat instacart shopper with a name that sounds like something out of 800s Britain.

Trump told 800 Generals and Admirals that American cities are worse than anything in Afghanistan.

🚨 This is protecting the American people. “Full force” is not defined by the military. More of this!

You could say the problem is inflating

She's aged 10 years

Screenshot of a social media post by Siobhan Thompson @vornietom "My mum studied cults and her first and only rule of how to NOT get into a cult was "Do not. Under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!! Debate them." Because they got debated into the cult and they know the argument that works. So yeah that's why all those alt-right chodes are always yelling DEBATE MEEEEE every chance they get. Debate isn't a fair and reasoned discussion, it's an extremely effective recruitment tool. You don't have to debate them. Nobody does.

Yarvin is bitching that TrumpCo isn't moving hard and fast enough and so they're destined to fail.
