On Halloween even. I put a big sign that says β€œthe bell works” with an arrow pointing to it. Still most of the time it’s my dog barking that alerts me to trick-or-treaters

Wonder when the key demographic that elected Trump (white folks) will understand he sees them (or their sons) as brainless cannon fodder. I guess if they’re successful in getting women and black/brown folks to leave, it should be a lot clearer.

When we get to the point that Jimmy Kimmel is a hero? Well, whatever…I stand with Jimmy Kimmel.

DOJ seeks one-day sentence for officer in raid that killed Breonna Taylor In November, a federal jury found officer Brett Hankison guilty of violating Taylor’s civil rights during a March 2020 police raid in which she was fatally shot.

One day. That’s the slap in the face the DOJ is calling β€œaccountability” in Breonna Taylor’s case.

Now they want to act like civil rights charges were too much? Please be for real.

If you’re wondering how little they value Black livesβ€”look no further.

Also similar is the shocking number of Franco supporters & quotes from the right in Spain about great times under Franco which sound as dumb as Trump supporters do. Certainly the fractures in the US will last long after the current regime ends, even if (hopefully) it is much shorter than Franco’s

Spain has some experience dealing with old fascist a-hole leaders. And the ruin they leave when they die.

This is why Dem Party poling is low - not an indicator of support for the current regime, just that the old guard is so totally out of touch.

Trump can’t stand to be humiliated. This is what's driving his dictatorial moves.

But he will overreach. He already has. And this overreach will ultimately be his undoing.

As long as we keep our heads β€” and engage in peaceful civil disobedience.

Be strong. Be safe.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated racist rapist Trump did.

And then they call me and ask for a donation. β€œSorry, I’m putting all my donations into organizations that are defunding the police or trying to make sure that Black Lives Matter, so I have no funds left for racist a-hole clubs.”

I guess this is the whole Elon β€œempathy is for pussies” thing, but if you’ve been looking at the cuts so far (USAID ending HIV treatments, stopping cancer research, closing SS offices etc) and are thinking β€œgood job!” All I can say is screw you when and smile it comes time for your turn.

Every single person sent from the US to CECOT needs a trial with documentation and evidence. Until then, statements like this are slander.

Unlawful Expulsions to El Salvador Endanger Lives Amid Ongoing State of Emergency The expulsion of 238 Venezuelans from the USA to El Salvador represents a step toward authoritarian practices in both the Trump administration and Bukele's security policies.

I’m also appalled that our government using torture on anyone with or without due process. All 238 people sent to CECOT need to be returned to the US and placed in humane conditions immediately!

A bust was the inevitable consequence of a reckless boom, and any government sugarcoating of the necessary losses would only make matters worse.
All of Keynes' instincts and assumptions were wired against that school of thought. He loved Burke too much to invite change through the disorder of institutional collapse. And the puritanical glorification of punishment as a cleansing exercise held no attraction to a man whose sexuality divorced him from the Church.

As Trump and his administration talk about the tough medicine needed to cure the "sick patient" that is the economy, I keep coming back to this passage from Zachary D. Carter's wonderful biography of John Maynard Keynes, THE PRICE OF PEACE.
