Sadly relevant today.

The same people who i used to fight with in the GOP, who wanted to withdraw American troops from everywhere, are now the ones justifying the murder of two survivors.

It’s almost like…. It was never about that

We went from a country that defended others from being invaded for their natural resources, to a country that is now threatening to invade others for their natural resources.

Systems of governance are only as good as the people you elect to uphold them.

Our convicted felon president, who pardoned Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the Proud Boys convicted of seditious conspiracy, wants to charge Mark Kelly, a decorated war veteran and astronaut, with seditious conspiracy.

That’s some next-level banana republic shit right there.

No matter how long I live after we get through this dark chapter, I will never get over the immorality, the amorality, the corruption, the criminality and the cruelty in service to one of the worst humans to ever walk the earth.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace β€œthe American people want” with β€œtroll bots in Eastern Europe demand”

Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

"Well, yes, Mamdani and I have our differences. He's a socialist, they say he's a socialist, and I guess he says so too. A democratic socialist, but a socialist. Meanwhile, I'm busy seizing the means of production, forcing a cultural revolution, cracking down on the intelligentsia ...."

U.S. legislators: "Soldiers and sailors, if you are ordered to kill someone and you believe the order is unlawful, don't do it. Remember your oath to The Constitution.
U.S. President: "Kill the legislators."

Am I missing something? Anything at all?
I still have characters left, if so.

Do you really think a Department of Justice that lies to judges about grand jury indictments is going to be open and honest about the Epstein Files?

The sight of Mohammed bin Salman sitting in the Oval Office should make all Americans want to vomit. It sure does for me.

If you get to a trillion dollars you should have to start the game over from the beginning at a higher difficulty like your parents not owning a bunch of emerald mines or whatever idk that’s just a random example

Let's make sure we're all clear - MTG is a traitor. She was a staunch Jan 6 denier and did not support democracy while trying to disenfranchise millions of voters (as Trump and his regime do daily); and many more terrible things. She is despicable and cannot be trusted, those bridges are in ashes.

Listen to the corporate centrists. They do not care about people. Their only priority is protecting the capitalist machine that feeds them.

They’ll sacrifice anyone, normalize fascism, do anything if it means the checks keep coming in.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

The Epstein list isn’t like team sports

We don’t care if it takes down Democrats

We don’t care if it takes down progressives

We don’t care if it takes down our fave celebrity

If you raped children, you must be held accountable

If you trafficked children, same

I don’t care what side you’re on

On top of that the ACA was (at least partially) based on the Repubs HEART act from back in the day. The individual mandate and private insurance was the Republican plan! The way insurance works.... oh ffs with these clowns

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Of course I'm worried about socialism. I mean, just imagine if Mamdani one day becomes President and nationalizes industry, imposes historic tax hikes, goes after the media, builds a secret national police force, militarizes the country, and sends people to camps.

I’m just a small-town political scientist, & it’s still relatively early, but it appears that The Actual Democrats did not Need To Do any of the Things or Learn any of the Obvious Lessons that Ezra Douthglesias said they Must Do & Learn.

There is a distinct possibility that some people are too stupid to participate in a democracy

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.

He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

Price increases for "things" under Donald Trump:

Coffee is up 26%
Baby strollers are up 25%
Beef is up 14%
School supplies are up 7%
Electricity is up 5%

Car prices are at a RECORD high.

And thanks to Republicans in Congress, health insurance premiums are about to DOUBLE.

Just a reminder that Antifa is not a real organization but the Proud Boys are. The Oath Keepers are. Patriot Front is. The KKK is. Anyway, enjoy your day.
