Multiple times this year I’ve had coffee with fellow immigrants who grew up in corrupt third world countries and the shared sentiment has been that Americans don’t understand how bad things are going to get.

(seeing the president wandering around on the roof while the economy adds 3 jobs per month amid weekly pedophilia revelations) time to sign a billion dollar settlement with this man

The New York Times uses the word β€œmaximalist” because it’s afraid to use the word β€œdictatorship.”

Seizing the property of private organizations to punish dissent is totalitarianism.

It is illegal, anti-Conservative, Soviet, and sickening.

Yet people who drool β€˜freedom’ whisper not a word to object. Lift not a finger.

If you’re β€œdeeply wary” about Putin, having Trump on the other side of the negotiating table surely must alleviate those concerns. πŸ™„

I think a lot of Americans believe their country is the one they learned about in school. They haven’t grasped the fact that it’s well on the way to becoming a Christofascist dictatorship.

The social media accounts for federal law enforcement agencies keep posting the exact kinds of things you'd report to federal law enforcement agencies if a normal citizen posted them.

If there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s that all these guys truly respect and care about women’s sports and female athletes, and totally aren’t just using them as a prop to stir up anger at trans people

This is a disgrace - the United States spitting on its own soldiers because they come from a minority the ruling clique holds in contempt. The people who made this decision have a special circle of hell waiting for them; liberals should fight to the bitter end to give these soldiers their due.
