The Sheriff of Sundown City - Truthdig As the final regulators burn out of the machine, Trump's mental retrogression has no limit but his expiration date.

"The grandma who starts smoking or drinking again; the grandpa who starts trying to feel up women in public. Itโ€™s terrifying even when theyโ€™re powerless, knowing that a familiar mind is gone, replaced by an ungoverned one, driven by an adolescent array of misfiring impulses."

There's a post over on Twitter that I've been laughing to myself about. Some right-wing guy is celebrating that a school took down "All-Gender" bathroom signs and replaced them with "Single Occupancy Restroom" signs. And like... it's the same thing, man. You're celebrating a pointless relabeling.

Dude. Yes. Alito and Thomas are of course the standout examples, but all of the Republican justices have tells in their writing and their questioning indicating that they are, to varying degrees, marinating their brains in dumb bitch juice

Bronze plaque saying "A Letter to the Future. Ok is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier. In the next 200 years all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjรถkull to Ok (jรถkull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

If you can convince the lowest white man that he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell give him somebody to look down on and he'll empty his pockets for you" - President Lyndon Johnson

You start out in 1954 by saying, โ€œN****r, n****r, n****r.โ€ By 1968 you canโ€™t say โ€œn****rโ€โ€”that hurts you, backfires. So you say stuff like, uh, forced busing, statesโ€™ rights, and all that stuff, and youโ€™re getting so abstract. Now, youโ€™re talking about cutting taxes, and all these things youโ€™re talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is, blacks get hurt worse than whites.โ€ฆ โ€œWe want to cut this,โ€ is much more abstract than even the busing thing, uh, and a hell of a lot more abstract than โ€œN****r, n****r.โ€

Exactly! I'm so tired of folks trying to pretend it's about VP Harris, or the Democrats, or anything else. It has ALWAYS been about racism. Too many white folks on the left need a reality check. Lyndon Johnson explained it, Lee Atwater explained it. Nothing has changed, because WF don't want it to.

36 years ago today, 14 women, most of whom were studying engineering, were killed by an anti-feminist gun man at ร‰cole Polytechnique in Montreal.

A Mexican woman was grabbed by ICE right after a c section.

She was suffering eclampsia and other complications, and her baby was alone in the NICU

They wouldnโ€™t even give her a breast pump

She has a pending visa for victims of violent crimesโ€ฆ and then ICE committed a violent crime against her.
