Putin’s war on America is going a lot better than his war on Ukraine.

I didn’t know that! My ancestors were also Dutch. DeFehr was Germanized from de Veere.

Just a reminder that ICE didn't exist until 2002. It's not some longstanding institution that must be maintained. It was created as a knee-jerk reaction to 9/11, and it could be gotten rid of as easily as it was created.

How to Get Rid of "Citizens United" We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.

If you’re looking for something to do, start working on overturning citizens united in your state. States control the power corporations have. Take their political power away with a ballot initiative. Here’s how: open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

Netflix + WBD = death of cinema. We can’t allow fascist billionaire dipshits to destroy an entire artistic medium and American tradition so they can also destroy our democracy.

I don't think people are really processing the fact that the sitting U.S. President and his team β€” and maybe the Supreme Court β€” and maybe half the Congress β€” want to force us to accept that we should obey the President and not the Constitution.

I don't know what news would be bigger than that.

Opponents of this fascist regime enjoy the advantage of truth. We can simply tell the truth and it advances our goals while obstructing those of the regime. Why erode that advantage by using obviously fake images and pretending they’re real, or acknowledging they’re fake but β€œcould be real”?

Calling for the impeachment of a blatantly criminal POTUS from your opponent party is easy/ has no political cost for you. We want our reps to stand up to Wall Street and corporations consolidating their wealth and political power at the expense of democracy and 99% of Americans. What are you doing?

Sounds like you ordered the dog shit sandwich, or neither sandwich. Enjoy the regime!

Imagine a restaurant has a menu with two items- a dog shit sandwich and a grilled cheese sandwich. The one that gets the most orders is served to all. It’s very close, but the dog shit sandwich gets a few more votes. There were a few vegans who refused to order either sandwich. Bon apetit!

I think they’re hoping to find some medical issue to counter the longstanding diagnosis that Trump is just dumb af.

The reasons to avoid war with a country (any country) outnumber virtuous reasons to go to war with a country (any country) by a margin so great it requires numbers so large to express that you’ve never heard their names and wouldn’t know how to gauge them if you had. War in Venezuela is evil.

β€œWe are targeting Venezuela because of DRUGS, not OIL, which is why we are blowing up boats without any drugs and stealing a tanker full of oil.”

I don’t think guns are as evenly distributed as you do. I think it’s probably close to an 80/20 distribution with 20% of Americans owning 80% of the guns.

That side gets less bright when we consider the owners of the vast majority of those guns are gullible enough to fight for invaders instead of against them.
