The most dangerous form of government is theocracy.ย
Because the only thing worse than a tyrant is a tyrant who thinks they're on a mission from God.
CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.
Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthyโs congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.
THIS is the goal, October 18th is going to be a VERY dangerous day to protest. They are hoping to instill fear to stop us from taking to the streets

Our entire Congress worships either Russia or Israel. Now Qatar is expanding to USA.
WTFFFFFFFFF
Just to be clear, this is EXACTLY what Pete Hegseth said, word for word, on video in a formal announcement:
โWeโre signing a letter of acceptance to BUILD A QATARI AIR FORCE FACILITY at the Mountain Home Airbase.โ
This shit is WILD to me.

In the United States, "nobody" historically included women, immigrants, poor people, and anyone who is not white. People dismissed as nobody are those most likely to be affected by a terrible situation and therefore the most likely to warn about it in advance. "Somebody" is a similarly convoluted category. For centuries, to be somebody in the United States meant to be a wealthy white man or to be treated like one. This idea of "somebody" is baked into the founding of the country, in which only white male landowners were granted the right to vote. White, land-owning men who deviated from the establishment were often punished for their efforts: castigated as troublemakers or conspiracy theorists. The goal was to reduce them, at least in their ability to gain institutional support, to the status of "nobody."
I always think of this quote (from They Knew by Sarah Kendzior) when people say this.
"'nobody saw it coming' is an admission of whom the speaker considers to be nobody"
When a talented cartoonist nails reasons why the files aren't being released and shows the hypocrisy and obstruction, โจ๏ธchef's kissโจ๏ธ!

He's helping feed the ridiculous belief amongst right wingers, that Republic means Republican and that democracy means democrat.

How is it NOT a national discussion that Ted Cruz LITERALLY is advocating for pedophiles now?

As Hegseth and Trump are about to recall ALL top military brass back to the US, I think Trump has allied us with Russia against the EU and NATO...
