I have no words.
don’t forget to destroy your clocks tonight, walk away from your mortgage, just start driving, you’re free
No one gets to fuck their way out of being an asshole or a racist.
I wrote about the first national book banning bill, which effectively seeks to erase trans people. At the end I include a link to let your reps know that you oppose this bill and all it stands for. lithub.com/why-we-must-...
I genuinely don't know if DHS policies will be any different under Mullin (if confirmed). As long as Stephen Miller is calling the shots, I don't expect a big difference.
But this was some of the most evil shit I've seen from a US official in my lifetime, so yeah - I'm thrilled she's gone.
Rumsfeld: "I can't tell you if the use of force in Iraq today would last five days or five weeks or five months, but it certainly isn't gonna last any longer than that."
Hegseth: " It may or may not take four weeks, two weeks, six weeks. It could move up, it could move back."
Markwayne Mullin is the Lauren Boebert of Tommy Tubervilles

“No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.” www.columnblog.com/p/corporate-...
One thing you can count on from any authoritarian regime is that the corruption and grift are always part of the gameplan.
Yes, so let's just not even bother trying? FFS.
BREAKING: Today Bernie Sanders is proposing new legislation to raise $4.4 trillion in taxes from America’s billionaires — a move that would virtually cut their massive fortunes in half.
A chunk of the money raised would go toward sending a $3K stimulus check to every person earning under $150K.
everybody stay clear on the fact
that several fascist autocrats
are using the needless death of innocent human beings
as a power grab / attempt to manipulate public opinion
when their popularity is low.
I have spent the past several months studying the cutting-edge research on modern democracies that have defeated authoritarian leaders.
I've learned that the conventional wisdom on the topic is wrong — in ways that have clear implications for the US going forward

These motherfuckers deliberately target schools for violence HERE. I sure as shit believe they targeted schools elsewhere too.
Community defense is different here. Scary. Lonely. There's (some) safety in numbers, and they're hard to come by in our red exurban and rural communities.
We're standing up anyway.
So, today's front page print headline seemed quite fitting:
Emotion, defiance as ICE roams western WI
FUCK ICE.

The Resistance is REAL. Important thread.
Basically this regime has decided that quite a lot of Americans don't deserve to live. We're just going to let diseases run rampant and then deny healthcare. This regime does not give a FUCK about anyone but rich people.
Check out this whole thread. Minneapolis and Saint Paul are still hurting. Folks are cautiously coming out of shelter, but need food to get them through until paychecks start up again or new jobs are found. ZCC is my mutual aid! Laura and I have been working together! Please share widely!
To be clear, Kansas Republicans rushed through a confusing and disastrous bill, created a panic, and wasted untold number of tax dollars all to target 300 out of the nearly 3 million people in the state.
Update/Scoop— New guidance sent this AM to Kansas DMVs indicates licenses that previously had gender marker changed not actually invalid yet. However, internally DMV can see who is flagged, and keeping track of who has/hasn't come in to update. Seems about 300 trans/GNC ppl flagged across the state.
Started following you for synth nerdery. The videos you have been doing lately are even better (and more important). Great work.
Everything about this regime is a grift. Everything. This is what authoritarians do.
White men are too emotional to own guns.
In this timeline, this was realistic enough that I questioned it for a moment.
