The Lisa

Yesterday they were shooting priests in the head with rubber bullets. Today they're arresting journalists. If you have anyone in your life who doesn't regularly follow the news and doesn't understand how bad things are and how bad they're about to get, you need to tell them right now. Time is short.

Of all the crazy fascist shit that this administration is doing, letting the Qataris install an airbase in Idaho was definitely not on my radar.

This shit still pisses me off! 😒

Something Is Seriously Broken In These People….

Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA announced they'll be hosting their own Super Bowl half-time show with "fully Christian, American" performers. 🤣
Bad Bunny is both Catholic AND American. Just not "white enough".

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.

The First Amendment explicitly guarantees:

-the right of the people peaceably to assemble
-to petition the Government for a redress of grievances
-the free exercise of religion
-freedom of speech

If this priest had also been press, ICE would have violated all five 1A freedoms at once.

This is great. The absurdity of this moment captured. Make it go viral.

“In your guts, you know he’s nuts.”

Goldwater, by comparison, was a beacon of sanity.

For me it’s when it’s the weekend or a weekday.

I love my city!!!!!!

📌NEW Kaiser Family Foundation Poll: 78% of Americans say Congress should EXTEND enhanced ACA tax credits, including 57% of MAGA.

📌Republicans in Congress are NOT listening to their base, or the majority of Americans during THEIR shutdown.

As if irony isn’t already dead, the Hatch Act violation on the DOJ website, which blames Democrats for the shutdown, appears on the page advising DOJ employees they are subject to the Hatch Act. joycevance.substack.com/p/a-note-abo...

If you say Dems should negotiate with Trump, please confirm you've read the pre-shutdown Trump EO that authorizes you and yours to be probed as terrorists if you commit any thought-crime listed on the right-hand side of this Ken Klippenstein report excerpt.

*That* is who you want to negotiate with.

Modern times is so great cuz now I get the monthly bill in the snail mail and the bill by email and a text with a link to pay online and a text reminder and a text reminder and a text reminder and a text reminder and a text scolding when I miss a timely payment.

This opinion (by a Reagan appointee) is extraordinary. “And there’s the issue of masks. This Court has listened… to the reasons given… for masking up … and rejects this testimony as disingenuous, squalid and dishonorable. ICE goes masked for a single reason--to terrorize Americans into quiescence.”

Extraordinary.

Important to remember that Donald Trump is smirkily joking about here is premeditated mass murder in international waters—an unambiguous war crime—with some of the victims already apparently having been confirmed to be civilian fishermen

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

No serious person can say, with a straight face, that this is not a fascist regime.

Didn’t he already tell us it was some nice old black lady who pleaded with him to invade?

You are most certainly not the only one.

And he acts like he’s thinking up some new and untested military strategy.

I can’t imagine being a decorated military leader and having to answer to this dirtbag cosplaying as a badass. Or to the other dirtbag cosplaying as a badass.

Right on the prediction.

Right about the reaction.

I’m struggling with why the mass shooting at a bar in NC on the same day, leaving three dead and more injured, has drawn so little public mention. I guess it doesn’t fit the “Christianity is under violent attack” narrative.

And I’ve been jumped in my alley and pickpocketed on the train and had my car broken into twice—and I still don’t want these goons invading my city.
