These protests, taking place across the country, the small protests which get no media attention are not going to make a difference. Only mass protest would make a difference and what would that be if not in DC?

Forget about the language, thatโ€™s not the point heโ€™s choosing DC for a specific reason, whatever he chooses to justify his actions, the point is to lock it down to head off mass protest. Itโ€™s to protect himself and also stop the country from having a central point of focus.

Missouri runs on money injected from other states, but even more insidious, my state sucks all of the money out of our two metros, and then tries to delete their representation through gerrymandering.

Republicans canโ€™t govern. They donโ€™t even try. They are bums. Mooches. Lazy, second-rate scabs.

And understand that while you may feel safe for now, itโ€™s coming for you too. Whether youโ€™re in the US or yes if youโ€™re in Canada. He wonโ€™t stop because of that line on a map. Heโ€™ll eat the world before itโ€™s done. If youโ€™re still buying US shit, wake up. Hitler didnโ€™t stop at Poland.

Suspect and Officer Are Dead After Shooting Outside C.D.C. in Atlanta

The Emory shooter was a regular visitor to right-wing social media accounts which persuaded him that the Covid-19 vaccine was to blame for all his personal medical problems. So he took his gun to shoot up the CDC, killing a policeman in the process.

Citizens United passed in 2010, thatโ€™s when things really got going. Itโ€™s when our media stopped serving truth. Today they see it as dangerous to go do. The combination of Fox and huge sums of money

Did RFK just take away your cancer treatment? mRNA promised to help turn cancer from a death sentence into a manageable condition.

People like senators Cassidy and Collins voted for this subhuman worthless degenerate. If they had any shame, they'd k*ll themselves.

incredible that smart, committed people are still doing โ€œthe norms will save usโ€ in the midst of an authoritarian assault on our entire way of life, during which thus far the norms have not even been a speed bump

Explain to me how you can have two Dakotaโ€™s with a combined four Senate seats, but California only has two. California- population 40 million.
Combined north and South Dakota have a total population of 1.7 million. I actually took the citizenship test. It never made any sense to me.

Our Premiere Danielle Smith is currently one of the most unpopular and disliked persons in Canada right now. Her authoritarian tendencies, corruption and incompetence are on full display. Take a look at what she has done in just the last week!

Irish foreign policy is not Americaโ€™s goddamn business. This imperialist garbage just isolates America further. We choose to recognize Palestine as a state is our own goddamn business. I appreciate Iโ€™m preaching to the choir, but needs saying.

One of the trademarks of the MAGAt is arrogant ignorance. No one is to blame for not knowing a thing, but to refuse to accept you donโ€™t know the thing and not be wiling to learn is pure MAGAt.

"I wouldnโ€™t be shocked to see this SCOTUS come up w/ a way around the crystal clear language & original intent on who is counted in the census. Iโ€™m more skeptical theyโ€™ll accept a new one-off census. But they could. Itโ€™s a deeply corrupt institution. Thatโ€™s your path to the dissolution of the union"

Todayโ€™s conservatives are embracing the concept.

And when that fails, as it will, Trump will throw another tantrum over our refusal to break.

The better option is to tighten the sanctions and arm Ukraine ahead of any meetings so that Putin will want to end the war.
