If women submitting to men was a natural way of being, they would not have needed laws, religion & violence to get them to do it.

We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops.

All the pissed off man children who can’t be cops, survive military training, hold down a real job or get a girlfriend, they’re joining ICE and taking their failures out on everyone.

Sadly. Most of us are not surprised.

Talking about how “talking about fascism” is dumb… right now in this surreal terrain… what?? So this is a Phillip Dick novel now?

This feels exactly true.

Ugh

Why is it that “master race” bs is always spewed by POS like him?

Wait. Isn’t this a movie where she stays but can never leave?

Between this and his quotes about Portland yesterday, I'm thinking that he's even more checked out than I already assumed. Of course it's also possible he's heard about all this stuff 50 times and still forgot.

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

Oh goodie.

I believe this. Stay as healthy as you can. The ultimate rebellion. Tell the billionaire class to get fucked.

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

Shut up.

the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok
