The perfect singalong!

Brilliant:

This is posted in the US Holocaust Museum. Seems to me that every line item has been checked off.

The "it can never happen here" folks have a lot of explaining to do.

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this.

You're welcome

Gun violence is out of control. The victims of gun violence are Republicans, Democrats, independents, and kids, who have no political affiliation whatsoever.

We need to tone down the incendiary political rhetoric, for sure, but we also need to do something about guns.
The guns!

Jeg velger et grønt og varmt samfunn fremfor et grått, usolidarisk og kortsiktig samfunn.

Det er faktisk hva som står på spill i årets valg.

Stem MDG for å sikre rødgrønn seier.

Let’s check on who’s most responsible for climate change.

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right.

The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter.

Everyone must choose which side they’re on.

Who will pay the costs of Trump's tariffs?

You will.

Scenes from a science crisis: a selection of recent developments 🧵1/6

And we are already at camps people!

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

That's Exactly What He Did And It Was All
Illegal!!

MEEKS: Does trade deficits constitute a national emergency?

BESSENT: Yes

MEEKS: Do you know that for the last four decades we have trade deficits and nobody said it was a national emergency?

A man who holds the title of President of the United States, who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, who then says he doesn’t know if he’d uphold the Constitution, is unfit to be president and should be removed.

RFK Jr and Statistics:

"WE'VE ARRANGED A society based on science and technology, in which nobody understands anything about science technology. And this combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces. Who is running the science and technology in a democracy if the people don't know anything about it?" "Science is more than a body of knowledge, it's a way of thinking. A way of skeptically interrogating the universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility. If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then we're up for grabs for the next charlatan, political or religious, who comes ambling along."

I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.

The biggest mistake the Constitution’s authors made was to not give federal courts a way to enforce rulings if the executive branch refused. The only remedy was impeachment/removal of officials who refused to enforce, and that assumes Congress always acted in the best interest of the country. Oops!

All of this could have been avoided if enough people had just decided to vote for a competent Black Indian woman.

Racism...the downfall of America.
