To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.

I really just once a reporter would reply “oh are you gonna cry about it”

I hope Democrats understand that if and when they get back to power, defaulting to “unity” politics and empty reconciliation without any real accountability would not only be morally abhorrent, but also politically suicidal: The desire for at least some semblance of justice will be overwhelming.

People going "America was always fascist" or "it's been like this since the 1980s" or making related claims don't seem to realize it, but they're telling everyone that nothing different is happening, nothing worse than usual, so if you weren't up in arms about eg 2013, you shouldn't be now either.

What will poor Eric Adams do for work?
That’s nbody’s business but the Turks!

Guns don't kill guns. PEOPLE kill guns.

Gov. Greg Abbott pardons Daniel Perry, veteran who killed police brutality protester in 2020 A Travis County jury sentenced Perry to 25 years in prison last year, prompting Abbott to ask the state parole board to review his case.

I am just going to keep posting that the TX governor recently pardoned a political murderer.

The dude texted "I'm going to shoot protestors", then went and shot a Black Lives Matter protester. He was convicted in a jury trial.

Hard to find a more blatant example of celebrating political violence.

1) pic of Melissa and Mark Hortman 2) pic of Melissa Hortman and dog Gilbert

Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

The nihilist fascists eat their own.

(But not nearly fast enough.)

Listen, I shouldn't have to be the one to tell you this, but if as a Christian you die and end up in Valhalla instead of the Christian heaven, well, you done fucked up.

If the shooter had killed a leftist podcaster, he would have a multi million dollar Go Fund Me to cover his legal fees tomorrow, and an interview lined up with Charlie Kirk.

The assassination of Charlie Kirk makes we worry we can no longer have peaceful discussions of whether gays should be stoned to death or civil and collegial debates about whether black people are inherently inferior. Our culture will suffer.

New York Times tomorrow

Decrying violence against political opponents rings a bit hollow when you pull Secret Service protection from your political opponents.

The targets of hate have every right to rejoice at one less hater in the world.

The history of America has been forged by political violence, and contrary to the narrative being built on the news at this moment Most of that violence was at the hand of conservative white men against minorities and women throughout our history.

Slavery was violence
Jim Crow was violence
Etc

“We interrupt news of this shooting to bring you news of another shooting. Don’t be sad about the second shooting though, it was just some kids at a school. Be sad about the first guy, an adult man who encouraged shooting kids at schools“

Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

The problem with allowing guns everywhere is that no one is safe anywhere.

When you have a hammer, everything looks like nails

So glad ICE is in Chicago. The city is a lawless hell-scape. Blues musicians wrecking hundreds of police cars. High schoolers doing weird scientific sex experiments. Kids home alone during the holidays. Women killing their husbands and lovers and then SINGING about it sassily. This has to stop.

ANDOR creator Tony Gilroy likes the idea of a Kleya and Vel ‘Nazi hunters’ spin-off series in which the duo hunt after former Imperials following the fall of the Empire with the assistance of Dedra Meero in a Hannibal Lector-esque role.

Supreme Court Rules 6-3 That Fundamental Interests Of United States Of America Would Be Irreparably Harmed If It Race-Based Harassment And Detention By Masked Thugs Were Even Temporarily Halted

This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law.

May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime.

the real glory of world war two was that it involved a warrior cult being ground down and beaten to a pulp by people who would rather have been doing something else.

Important to remember that everyone involved in renaming the DoD to the Department of War is afraid to take the subway.

This from the guy angrily demanding a Nobel Peace Prize

“following rumors of his death donald trump held a press conference announcing extrajudicial killings of civilians and plans for a military invasion of an american city” is a perfectly factual headline that could be used to describe what we saw yesterday

The Posse Comitatus Act comes for Trump's authoritarianism Trump's efforts to go after U.S. cities — first Los Angeles and D.C., with, it appears, Chicago next — are alarming. A lot happened, as to all three cities, on Tuesday.
