I’m just waiting for them to start coming for Mormons and the 60%+ of my co-religionists who voted for this to get REAL confused real fast.

Still one of my dreams to make a film adaptation of this game.

Glad the WSJ didn't rush to report inflammatory claims backed by no evidence whatsoever at an incredibly sensitive time.

These are very easy things to say:
I am against gun violence, no matter who is the victim or perpetrator.
I am against genocide, no matter who is the victim or the perpetrator.
I am against child abuse, no matter who is the victim or the perpetrator.
Please let's choose love over fear.

Trump confirms U.S. strike on alleged Venezuelan drug boat President Trump says the U.S. military has struck a drug-laden vessel in the southern Caribbean after it left Venezuela. The strike comes a week after Washington deployed warships to the region.

If the U.S. military isn't going to release details on the justification for killing 11 civilians in a civilian boat who weren't posing a threat to anyone, then we have to conclude the "justification" is: the U.S. military is willing to kill civilians to give Trump social media content.

Making superpowers gritty is hard. Let’s talk about how difficult it was to make 2015’s Fantastic Four, from director Josh Trank’s erratic behavior to reshooting a third of the film months before releasing.

Just going to reiterate that in 2016 Trump inherited the lowest murder rate of any president in 50 years. He set reality aside, gave his β€œAmerican Carnage” inaugural address, and was then the first president in 30 years to leave office with a higher murder rate than when he started.

Hello. The president's continued insistence that the BLS numbers are rigged, political, or otherwise manipulated is a lie. Please stop saying 'baseless claim.' Thank you.

Every democrat has to throw this in the face of every republican for the rest of time.

Republicans are ALL complicit, if not actively participating.

The IRS's free tax filing tool is now reportedly "gone," according to Trump's IRS chief.

This comes after Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the government for years to block IRS free file.

Intuit donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration.

See how this works?

This is the creation of the American NKVD, Stasi, Gestapo.

I know it sounds like hyperbole. But how is it not?

They have infinite resources to grab people off the street, with no due process, and disappear them.

That is what secret police do.

I genuinely believe the only way we smash fascism is if the next Democratic administration is willing to use prosecutions and investigations in aggressive and norm-bending ways that make a lot of bien pensant legal academics extremely uncomfortable.

as for the upshot of the decision, the republican court has put the citizen children of non-citizens in a position similar to that of free blacks during the antebellum period. their right to enjoy the privileges and immunities of american citizenship will vary according to state borders

It's definitely coming. And with this clown court, the racists will win (as long as they frame it as religious belief.)

I am getting increasingly excited for the Highlander reboot. Chad Stahelski will shoot the hell out of it. I was already on board with Henry Cavill as the Highlander (all that dude knows how to do is COMMIT)
and now Russell Crowe as Ramirez (or whatever the character is called now)?
I'm in!

I just have to say, as a historian of the Reconstruction-era Klan, that masked paramilitaries are very bad and masked vigilantes are even worse and there are causal links between the two and none of this is good for democracy.

🚨🚨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‼️

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

As a member, one of my biggest complaints is that we NEVER actually discipline or excommunicate right-wing psychos for behavior that would get left-wing people exed from the church.
Trying to work within to change that.

We’re announcing new legislation β€” the No Secret Police Act (SB 627) β€” to ban local/state/federal law enforcement, w/ some exceptions, from covering their faces when interacting w/ the public & require them to wear identifying info.

The secret police behavior we’re seeing destroys trust & must end🧡
