Pritzker is right. They want to normalize troops in cities so they can steal every election just like Putin does.

Trump always gets around to screwing his supporters. Farmers thought he was just the coolest thing, really the cat's ass, the magnificent dude with all of the answers, as seen on TV. Right …

Coal will soon be dead as an energy source. Petroleum will follow.

This is the result of prices, not regulation.

yes esp when there is NO accountability for their actions so far...

It's so ridiculous that MAGAs believe the GOP line that "Democrats want to give free healthcare to immigrants."

My dudes immigrants aren't getting free healthcare in the United States. American citizens aren't even getting free healthcare. You know who is?

The people lying to you about immigrants.

These people are evil. Never stop saying so. Don’t be intimidated into shutting up.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

I'm a really handsome young guy, though.

Speak up, while it's still possible.

The single most important lesson for Dem politicians

You'd think putin could come up with other ways of killing people. I know only of poisonings and falls from windows.

But, maybe making it obvious is part of the plan. It keeps folks in line.

As we edge toward the breakup of the union

If it's going to be trump's union, then good riddance.

The trump regime wants to specify what students learn, from kindergarten thru grad school.

It's also a warmup for a civil war: confederate states invading the north.

The Supreme Court just declared presidents **“immune”** from prosecution for *official acts*—even if that means torture, assassination, or genocide. This isn’t justice. It’s legalized tyranny.

Antifa burning Portland to the ground

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

Love this. Superbly done. Please send this far and wide. @donwinslow.bsky.social

Excellent idea, if that is their behavior. If it isn't, what? Good billionaire?

We must remember this time. When Americans took delight in the suffering of others. Cheered it on. Clapped. Laughed. All the whilst calling themselves Christians.

The whole world sees you now America.

And it’s not pretty.

You are not a country people want to support.

California can’t claim no power in Congress, like DC—home to 700,000 people, more than either Vermont or Wyoming—can. But it’s time to think outside of the electoral box and start flexing our considerable leverage. We are the nation’s largest agricultural state—growing more than a third of the country’s vegetables and ­three-quarters of its fruits—and the fifth-largest food producer in the world. We produce the most milk and the most wine, copious amounts of rice and cattle, and, crucially, 90 percent of US avocados. Other states may be poster children for farms, but we’re No. 1. Hollywood is a $47.2 billion industry exerting, for better or worse, immeasurable global cultural power. The $623 billion tech sector is even mightier. Were California to secede, almost 15 percent of America’s GDP would go with it, and the US could slip behind China as the world’s biggest economy. Short of actual secession, what could California do? It could learn from the Jimmy Kimmel showdown and lead a financial “countervalue” rebellion, using “the full weight of blue states’ market power, cultural influence and legal authority to raise the stakes of Republican red-state aggression,” Democratic strategists Arkadi Gerney and Sarah Knight wrote in the Washington Post, by imposing “regulatory and economic costs that bite hard enough to make the constituents of even the most insulated legislator feel the pain.” We could start by disinvesting our pension funds from red-state companies like AT&T, American Airlines, ExxonMobil, and Tesla. “The 15 blue trifectas (states where Democrats control the governor’s mansion and both houses of the state legislature), with their larger state budgets and more generous pensions, have state investments that total almost 75 percent more than the 23 red trifectas,” they note.

The breakdown of basic norms and the eroding of the most minimal expectations for civilized society is more egregious in the U.S. than anywhere else in the world. American voters would elect monkeys if given the chance.

Maybe the MAGA folks can pitch in and develop a big tofu fetish.
