Thinking about the millions of QAnon followers who spun elaborate papedophile conspiracies from emails about pizza. All now strangely silent as a blackmail op so brazen it would be cut from a Verhoeven movie takes place between the American president and the world's most famous child sex trafficker.

As the dissents point out, the majority constantly contradicts its own recent decisions to fit the result they want. Ie: a HS football coach leading a Christian prayer does not violate other students religious rights, but a storybook with LGBT characters does. On some level they must know this.

Check out these baddies waging a psyops campaign outside the hotel where ICE agents were *trying* to sleep.

Surely some mistake, I thought. But no! I’m all for paying for journalism (source of my most popular post here [v low bar]) but are they actively trying to just kill print?

sorry, it’s actually very funny that he’s trying to come up with a long list of features for … poles. Do the flags go both up *and* down?

We make jokes about this sometimes because it’s laughable. But when journalists try to make sense of the nonsensical, rational out of the irrational, and coherence out of the incoherence, they affirmatively do the public interest great harm.

Al Gore didn’t hold back: The Trump admin is β€œattacking the heart of truth,” twisting facts like the Nazis did in the 1930s. From climate denial to rewriting the Ukraine war, it’s all about powerβ€”not reality.
Gore warned the U.S. is under siegeβ€”and every former leader should speak out like he did.

Turns out the government was doing a bunch of great stuff with my money and I keep learning about those things because the republicans are killing all those programs.

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.
