Vaguely recall that a paroled inmate committing a terrible crime was enough of a scandal to undercut the Dukakis campaign. This is objectively worse in term of Trump's responsibility, but will get a fraction of the attention.

This looks like it would collapse under its own weight, but I'm not an architect.

They shot a woman in the face after she dropped off her kids at school. They executed a man for helping a woman off the ground. They shot a woman five times for honking her car horn. They called these people terrorists without evidence.

It is always projection from the monsters in the White House.

Congress Is Considering Abolishing Your Right to Be Anonymous Online The bipartisan push to remove anonymity from the internet is ushering in an era of unprecedented mass surveillance and censorship.

I wrote about the House hearing today, how Congress is trying to strip anonymity from the Internet, and the devastating effects that has for journalists, whistleblowers, LGBTQ ppl, immigrants, civil rights activists, abortion providers and anyone challenging power for @theintercept.com

Good plan, there’s no way that the US would ever betray Kurds who fought on their behalf, or that Turkey would be upset by and seek to frustrate any US-backed Kurdish forces, or that an invasion from Iraq would trigger Iranian nationalist opposition. None of those things have ever happened.

Corporate Media Buries Story of US and Israel Killing 168 in Girls School Attack No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.

Close to 650 federal agents remain in Minnesota weeks after border czar announced end of operation There are still more than quadruple the 150 agents Tom Homan said there would be in the state by the end of last week.

They’re still lying to us.

When you’re running for governor of Florida, that’s pretty much the end of your campaign.

This is such a dogshit thing to say but notice how much of a coward he is to immediately go oh gosh oh golly when the reporter asks what he means by that. Can’t even have the courage of his dirtbag convictions, an insult to all men who wear shorts and hoodies in the winter. We reject him.

AOC: This is about actual crimes happening in front of us. This is about shredding the Constitution and plunging us into war. This is about taking crypto money and money laundering… So if you’re asking me if I’d support impeachment, I do

Anyone so compromised by AIPAC funding that they are willing to contemplate this for a second needs to immediately be shown the door out of politics.

They killed 175 children at a school and they are treating it like a literal game.

This is, in part, how people were radicalized against the aristocracy in the lead up to the French Revolution and they are making the propaganda themselves.

The sickness in the GOPs heart must be reckoned with soon.

I am sick of the histories of our nation killing others and itself while we all resign ourselves to hopelessness. There is only one path forward: We must decide if we are a democracy or if we are to be forever ruled by monsters.

Part of a platform that should become law is the reassertion that the United States cannot unilaterally enter into hostilities unless Congress authorizes it or we are attacked first.

Anyone who breaks this legal covenant should share the same legal fate as traitors to the Republic.

The last time the United States formally declared war was 1942. It is long past time that Congress asserted its authority. For almost a century, presidents have abused the power of their position to drag the United States and its people into unimaginable carnage and slaughter as Congress sits idle.

And all of it's leadership should get life in prison.

We need to stop playing with these leeches who never face consequences.

know I’m AI-posting a lot today, but holy shit read the linked lawsuit for this. this is probably the worst of these so far, by far (contingent on the brief being accurate, which isn’t guaranteed). the other ones were people with existing ideation not being stopped, this actively pushed him.
