This is the President not only purporting to arrogate unto himself the ability to β€œtake away free speech rights,” but also to do so for speech because it β€œaggravates and irritates.”

The bottom line is these people running our country are literally foreigners to the concept of democracy.

We are living under an aspiring fascist regime that has not yet fully consolidated. This is not difficult to understand unless you get paid to muddy the waters.

I think again about @jamellebouie.net’s piece referring to the Lincoln speech where he was basically like β€œthe South is simply not going to give us any choice about this, there is nothing we can say that will talk them around other than total capitulation to everything they want”

Chris Murphy’s Extraordinary New Takedown of Trump Should Wake Up Dems The Democratic Senator has taken the lead in drawing attention to Trump’s authoritarianism. In an interview, he offers a stark new warning that should galvanize his fellow Democrats before it’s too la...

Chris Murphy just offered an extraordinary warning about Trump on our pod.

"This isn’t a normal time. If you don’t mount a stand right now on behalf of democracy, there won’t be another opportunity. The world [is] watching to see what we stand for."

there is a real β€œguy who has only seen the boss baby” aspect to TCW’s work. the 2020 protests appear to be his only frame
of reference for the world, and so everything must be made to fit into his (incredibly stupid) idea of what they were.

Even with a farmer bailout, if there is no market for beans, there is no incentive to plant next year.

I’m not a farmer. I didn’t vote for Trump. But the only two businesses we have left in my town revolve around corn and beans. My town will fold. My school will close. It’s over for us.

It’s Extremely Divisive of You to Tell the Truth Our nation is incredibly divided right now, and the last thing we need is someone standing up and further dividing us with statements based in fact...

"Whether you’re telling the truth about the legacy of white supremacy, the treatment of Palestinian people, or the dangers of climate change, everything you say is further proof that you don’t care about the country. All you care about is dividing us by saying words that are true."

I’d like one newspaper to try out the headline β€œRepublicans fail to attract Democratic votes they need to end shutdown” as a little treat.

I don't think the people expressing surprise about things the Trump administration is doing understand how absolutely fucking crazymaking each of your posts is for Black and Indigenous folks who called *all of this* and sat through people talking about "respecting norms" for years
