Fun fact: Every government shutdown in the last 30 years occurred when Republicans had control of the House of Representatives. —Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Oregon general’s testimony that National Guard troops ‘will be protecting any protesters’ gains traction online Brigadier General Alan R. Gronewold made the comments to state lawmakers Sept. 30, and they drew notice on social media this week.

I just watched the video of the Portland Cop threatening to arrest an ICE agent if they drive their truck through a crowd. Now I see this where the General of the Oregon National Guard says if they get called up they will protect the protesters. People are fed up.

Is This What ‘Late-Stage Democracy’ Looks Like? What if the Constitution *is* a suicide pact?

An executive who cannot be removed but whose power is fenced in is one thing. An invulnerable executive whose power has expanded to encompass nearly all of daily life begins to look like a monarch with a defined term. www.thebulwark.com/p/is-this-wh...

Look, I get critiques of *how* someone conducts an interview.

But Wilson’s congregants include the Sec. of Defense, who invited a pastor in Wilson’s denomination to lead the first of a recurring worship service at the Pentagon.

If anything, it’s odd it took this long for outlets to interview him.

His SF based employees should, every last one of them, walk out. If he's asking for violence to be directed against the people of the city, the people of the city shouldn't advance his economic interests.

We might soon have a Tienenman Square situation or maybe an Oklahoma City. Possibly some mixture, which I suppose would be a Kristallnacht. Maybe I should start a pool. Either way, I'll be there in Chicago on October 18 with a bright white shirt like Harvey Milk wore to rallies. We shall overcome.

Man, I want few things more than an apology from every person from the late 90s who tried to convince me that Kid Rock was actually really good and not embarrassing and unlistenable

What he not saying is that his friends and cronies invested a fortune in Argentina since their guy Milei won, they stand to lose a big chunk of those fortunes the way things are going, and Argentina’s elections are in two weeks and we are tampering in them to bail Milei out.

We took the freedom of speech away

I know people who went to SF specifically to work for this guy only to realize he was a weird crank

This guy’s brain became oatmeal SO FAST

My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous.

This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.

Guy does a 180 in 10 seconds from saying he's a libertarian for limited government to calling for banning pride parades

“That word, I do not think it means what you think it means.”

I really hope the AI bubble bursts soon. So sick and tired of them shoving it into everything whether it makes sense or not.

How To Make Browser Worse

Exactly. They are supporting that unpopular agenda full force. They are 100% wired for Republicans and their agenda. It is how we go from talking about how ‘bad’ the Biden economy was to how ‘good’ the Trump one is.

Bought and paid for.

The media aren’t “out of touch”. They know but are making a conscious decision to distort the reality they present. It’s called propaganda. Some are just more subtle about it that others.

MAGA and its agenda are *wildly* unpopular, and media are hugely out of touch for not saying so. Politicians who tap into this reality will thrive, and media outlets that reflect this truth will earn enormous audiences.

TikTok knows who owns it.

From Watts to D.C.: How 500 Black Neighborhoods Vanished in 45 Years America’s gentrified neighborhoods have lost 500,000 Black people, while gaining residents of every other race, a study finds.

NEW STUDY

Since I was born, 500 Black neighborhoods have vanished

And 500,000 Black people have been lost

All due to urban revitalization projects

Like the one for LA’s new coliseum — for the Clippers and ‘26 Olympics — that’s destroying Inglewood

My moderate proposal for the billionaires is:

The government will take 70% of your wealth, you keep 30% and you live; or

The government takes 100%, you get 0% and we kill you and harvest your organs.

It's just become unambiguously clear to me that liberal democracy cannot survive extreme wealth inequality.

These people need to be stripped of their assets.

American Gulag The brutal rollout of Trump's police state.

When it comes toTrump’s immigration policy, cruelty has always been the point, but anti-immigrant animus is now being paired with unprecedented funding, manpower, and technology.

i think it's apparent that the lack of any consequences or guardrails or competition or any constraints whatsoever for these freaks has made them mottled and rancid (see, eg, good times, soft men or whatever). no one will tell them they look stupid or that their ideas are stupid. played themselves

The Insidious Effort To Rationalize Trump’s Lawfare This is not a president justified in going after those who went after him. It’s a person making a mockery of our justice system.

Trump didn’t just instruct his cronies to look into Letitia James to see what they could rustle up. Instead, he twisted the entire federal government into a shape designed to produce the criminal indictment he demanded. www.thebulwark.com/p/insidious-...

It’s maybe not shocking that the institutions closest to fact—district judges, juries—have proven most robust against an onslaught of lies, but it’s to journalism’s eternal shame that it has behaved like the political institutions and not the honest ones.

is it not weird that every day there’s a new video of anonymous masked men having the time of their lives beating/shooting/disappearing people and the dem response from the top down is “republicans want to double your health insurance premiums”
