“…antisemitic Leftists are violently holding signs. Every day, you have cruel eighteen-year-old Democrats…shoving their cruel views down the throats of eighteen-year-old conservatives—defenseless little toddlers, green shoots fresh out of the Garden of Eden.” www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/you...

The Crime of Human Virtue Sometimes it really is as simple as good vs. evil. This is one of those times. Human virtue is our great crime against the fascist project; it's also our great weapon against it.

“To be a Republican in 2025 is to be in favor of this. You can stop anytime, and yet you don't. It is what it is. You are what you are. We can all see it.” www.the-reframe.com/the-crime-of...

Eventually You're Going to Have to Stand for Something On accepting the fascist offer and being better than Ezra.

Russian airstrikes hit a U.S. factory in western Ukraine Two Russian cruise missiles hit a U.S. electronics plant in the far west of Ukraine. The strike was part of an overnight barrage of more than 600 drones and missiles.

Democrats prevent Texas House from moving forward with Trump-backed congressional map Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott says he will begin trying to remove Democratic lawmakers if they don’t return after dozens of them left the state in a last-resort attempt to block redrawn U.S. House...

“‘Texans don’t run from a fight,’ [Gov. Greg Abbott] said.”

First of all, fuck you. Secondly, the orders you and all your nazi buddies are following from leiber anführer doesn’t amount to a fight. You’d know that if you weren’t a sociopath.

“I believe we have been captured by a human spirit that has convinced us of terrible foundational lies. Our society believes that profit is the highest moral value. It believes that people must earn life. It believes we don't belong to each other.”

Impeachment is a Duty The importance of telling a consistent and accurate story on matters of fire.

“Members of Congress who believe Trump is a danger to democracy should impeach him every day of his natural life.”

No. Bad. Isolation. Insularity. Do not like.

For those of you who support Trump and also believe in that old building block of Christian eschatology “the mark of the beast,” isn’t it crazy how ya boy is bringing this all about? Curiouser and curiouser…

“It almost seems as if they'd rather have white supremacy than life.”

“We humans are the universe observing itself.”

“It's time to un-kidnap our minds. It's time to become something other than efficient, which is a wonderful thing for a machine or a system to be, and can be a wonderful tool for a human to harness, but is a terrible and enslaving purpose for a life.”

“Similes are like ideological gateway drugs—soft at first, then suddenly your kid’s in a black box theater whispering monologues about late-stage capitalism instead of doing something important, like fracking.”

“ . . . we have to understand that we are dealing with the worst people in the world and their cultish followers, who are not the worst people in the world because they are inhuman, but because they are humans who have rejected humanity in favor of inhuman lies.”

Trump cannot use Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelans, judge rules President Donald Trump's administration exceeded the scope of an 18th-century wartime law in using it to deport some Venezuelan migrants, a federal judge in Texas said on Thursday in barring the administration from using it to speed up deportations.

A Trump-appointed judge, no less.

Ukraine poised to sign much anticipated mineral resources deal with the US on Wednesday Ukraine is prepared to sign a landmark mineral resources agreement with the United States in Washington.

This is disgusting. Holding them hostage by denying assistance in the war with Russia until the Ukraine capitulates is anti-American.

We are seeing the actions resulting from his rhetoric being carried out to their logical conclusion. None of this is a surprise. His supporters voted for it, are rabid for it.

An image, reminiscent of aTIME magazine cover, of Donald Trump with a crown on top of his head.

“. . . one of the most astonishingly ignorant and incurious people that has ever lived; a grotesque jelly-filled donut who lumbers through life wearing the lazy self-satisfied glare of a prize circus bear who has only ever been fed foie gras and orphans . . .”

If you voted for Trump, what do you think of this?
