A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.
We mustn’t let this war do so.
As Kash Patel actively covers up the murders of Minnesotans, the Minnesota Wild GM invites him into the USA locker room. Awful look.
congrats to the mens hockey team for letting a demented 80 year old sex criminal steal your shine and make himself the center of your accomplishment

A very important point
Chris Murphy: "This is really scary because what Bovino essentially told you is that if you just happen to be present when they are undertaking an operation, if you pull out your phone to record it, the use of force against you is justified. That is not true, it's not what the law says."

It’s by Ronald Reagan, who appointed him to the bench four decades ago.
Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream.
Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads.
Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?
This is what oligarchy looks like:
If you're Elon Musk, the richest man alive, Tesla gives you a $1 trillion pay package & Trump gives you a huge tax break.
If you're a poor kid on SNAP, Trump appeals a court decision that would have prevented you from going hungry.
Obscene.
Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.
Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.
They are not the same.

Why is Apple, Microsoft, Lockheed Martin, Blackstone, Google, OpenAI, Amazon and others financing the destruction of the WH and desecration of the grounds, something that is infuriating to huge chunk of the American population? Do you hate your customers that much?
Do they award Nobel prizes for advances in the field of corruption?
Has anyone before figured out you can use lawsuit settlements as facially legal bribes or is this a Trump innovation?
ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.
The President is building an army to attack his own country.
@jillmwo.bsky.social I’m not a bot! It’s me! 🙂
"This Court has listened carefully to the reasons given by Öztürk’s captors for masking-up and has heard the same reasons advanced by ... ICE. It rejects this testimony as disingenuous, squalid and dishonorable. ICE goes masked for a single reason—to terrorize Americans into quiescence."
regular reminder that "he wants" ≠ "he will"
Interesting that CNN didn't bother to report that the president could not pronounce acetaminophen.

They’re only going after Tylenol because the president of the United States can’t say acetaminophen. 🤦♂️

It’s like seeing a surgeon about a curable cancer and focusing entirely on the potential harms of the surgery option without evaluating the potential harms of the no-surgery option. 6/
I think it’s high time we take back the national narrative. For centuries Americans of all races, genders, religions, and abilities have worked to create a more perfect union, and we should shout from the rooftops that WE are America. Not these idiot white supremacist authoritarians.
For 13 years I rented an apartment that had such an awesome turret, the weathervane at the top had a wire that dropped down to a compass in my ceiling so I could always see which way the wind was blowing. Was truly sad to leave.
The price of eggs? Wait until you see your ACA premiums. Got cancer? The hope for new cures has been dashed. If H5N1 develops mutations that confer easy human-to-human transmission? Fuggedaboudit. 7/
These letters of resignation from CDC officials are VERY MUCH worth your time.
