It’s funny to me that so many folks who spent 2024 decrying fascism are posting condolences and finger wagging about “political violence” over a man who was instrumental to building said fascism.

Fakes and phonies. The lot of them.

Personally I think it jumped the shark a while ago and Im not fond of the current host but happy 249th season to The United States of America!
Heres hoping for a reboot 🇺🇸

Some people get into journalism because they’re skeptical of power, and others do so because they’re impressed by it. Moments like this are clarifying with respect to who’s who.

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore.

Make it make sense.

I can't believe we're actually doing the weapons of mass destruction thing... again.
We learned nothing

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

Native American women tell border patrol to fuck off.

TODAY'S THE DAY
BE CALM, BE PEACEFUL, BE LOUD:

I can see how Hitler happened. The last decade or so in the U.S. makes it easy to imagine. Not just Hitler; the Tulsa race massacre, Rosewood, lynching, slavery, the Rwanda & Rohingya genocides & more. There is a wolf pack evil that lurks in the human heart and it’s easily activated by a demagogue.

Mark this for the history books: “We’re talking about the president exercising his authority, and the president is of course limited to his authority. That’s the difference between a constitutional government and King George,” said Judge Charles Breyer.

Guy who pushed voting fraud bullshit indicted for fake petition signatures Ex-GOP state Rep. Austin Smith dropped a reelection bid over claims he faked petition signatures. Now he faces felony charges.

This is how you write a headline...

Fuck the police. As always.
Scratch this whole system and start over.

This stuff doesn’t look very protect-and-serve-y

Truth-tellers, not rioters. Protect these two men at all costs.

“You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history.”

“John Lewis said make good trouble… that means make trouble on behalf of democracy.”

A protester picks up a tear gas canister and throws it back at police. The rest of protesters attempt to fan the gas back at police

Nothin but the facts

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

Donald Trump’s deployment of the military in Los Angeles over the objection of California leaders is an abuse of power and a dangerous escalation.

It’s what you would see in authoritarian states and it must stop.

Americans have the right to speak out and peacefully protest.

Received video from the anti-ICE protest in downtown LA. Tear gas already dispersed with families reportedly hit.

👇🏽🇺🇸

I'm 100% behind protestors everywhere against ICE, and so should you be and so should your elected officials and you should tell them that.

What makes this all so fun to watch is that they're both really thin-skinned, super-dumb, have almost never faced consequences for anything, and have access to planet-destroying technology wait forget I said that last part

Local opinion: Rio Nuevo's selective vision doesn't reflect the heart of downtown Tucson Is this really the best version of Tucson’s downtown we can build? One where corporate entities are invited in with open arms, while the homegrown businesses are left to fend

I’ll always cherish any opportunity to see my sister and former colleague Gabby Giffords!

Her action to end the gun violence crisis is truly inspiring, and I am so proud to see what she has achieved through her passion, commitment, and refusal to stand by while there is work to be done.

THE PENTAGON BUDGET JUST HIT A TRILLION DOLLARS.

Not a single pundit from either political party said “how are we going to pay for it?!”

Don’t dare tell us we cannot ALL have healthcare, housing, and education.

Today, we honor the lives of Missing and Murdered Indigenous People.

Too many families have waited too long for justice, answers, and accountability.

We remember those who are missing, those who have lost their lives, and the families who carry the pain of their absence.
