A reminder that fascist Mussolini invaded Abyssinia partly to divert from domestic economic troubles at home.

Those older Americans have no idea their god Ronald Reagan likely negotiated with Iran to keep American hostages locked up an extra five months so he could win the 1980 election. Reagan's campaign manager was also his former CIA director ffs. www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

We're re-living The Gilded Age.

"They weren't supposed to bomb the luxury Dubai hotels!" is the new "Rich people aren't supposed to get tuberculosis!" from the late 19th century.

"The Trump administration was not prepared." Of course, they weren't.

The progressive era is coming, folks.

I'm going to mute the word "Constitution" because I honestly can't deal with another nerd going on about how what Trump is doing is "against the Constitution." Yeah. We fucking know. But guess what? The Constitution only means anything if people enforce it. And they're not doing that so...

Excerpt from The Guardian story, featuring midterm candidates looking to change the Democratic party. Copy on excerpt reads: 

THE GUARDIAN: US NEWS
HEADLINE: "'Are you willing to fight back?: Democrats ready to take on party's old guard ahead of midterms"

Photo of Kat showcased holding a stack of yard signs. Copy below reads: 

"Another test case is Illinois' deep blue 9th District, where Kat Abughazaleh, 26, a progressive Palestinian American, is taking on a Democratic establishment she accuses of complacency and cowardice."

Excerpt from The Guardian story, featuring midterm candidates looking to change the Democratic party. Copy on excerpt reads: 

"Abughazaleh believes that Democrats have long failed to meet the moment of taking on the far right. For her and many progressive challengers across the country, countering the Trump administration is inextricably linked to combating the influence of groups such as Aipac and challenging the corporate status quo.

Abughazaleh said: "I even see it in my own campaign where there are local leaders and elected officials that call me before endorsing one of my opponents, apologetically saying, I love what you're doing but I'm feeling a lot of pressure to endorse this way or the other. They feel that pressure in the first place instead of being able to stick to their values and it's a shame that we have a party that makes people feel like that."

"I don't know how many times we have to keep doing the same thing over and over and over again of insisting that we have to be more moderate, that we have to move to the right," Abughazaleh added, arguing that policies ensuring affordable housing, groceries and healthcare should represent the political centre."

You don’t beat the far right with moderation. You have to confront it.

Career politicians are unequipped to handle this moment. It’s time for them to step aside.

Every horrible thing a Republican does is simply an opportunity for the most annoying person you've ever seen to white wash someone who did the exact same kind of horrible thing but went through the proper channels first, making it okay I guess

watched the james gunn superman the other day. he gets that character was never intended as a power fantasy. there are tons of overpowered superheroes out there.

the fantasy superman stories offer is "what if there were a man who had the power of a god and chose to be a moral person every time."
