What an absolute disgrace

The Fear Factor The right and the left both use fear to drive politics, but the difference in how is striking

These are scary times, and it’s okay to feel afraid. The challenge is learning how to respond instead of retreating. This piece offers insight into managing that fear and transforming it into courage, understanding, and tangible steps forward.

Turning the military on citizens.

Attempting to rig elections.

Toying with the idea of declaring martial law.

Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out.

If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

Saw this on IG and legit lol’d

Michael Palin in a long dress with pearl earrings and necklace. Nearby is a table with a vase with a hand holding flowers. Next to that is a old television set.

At the end of Monty Python's The Meaning of Life, Michael Palin (in drag) says, "Try to be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in, and try and live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations."

Sounds like good advice.

I stand with PBS.

I stand with NPR.

I stand with Stephen Colbert.

I stand with Jimmy Kimmel.

I stand with the First Amendment.

PERIOD.*

I’m at the point where I’ll pause and look when the Breaking News pops up…..and still not the news I was looking for

Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."

If a president wanted to become effectively a dictator, he’d likely:

1. Purge govt of non loyalists
2. Weaponize law against opponents
3. Use military to police opposition strongholds
4. Threaten media, schools, businesses w penalties to get them to heel
5. Change election rules in his favor.

Throwing a sandwich at a cop: felony.

Beating a cop unconscious with a flag pole: tourist behavior.

What the actual fuck?! Kim Davis, the former Kentucky county clerk who went to jail in 2015 for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, is asking the Supreme Court to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges,

First it was troops in L.A., sent to provoke and assault peaceful protesters under the banner of “immigration enforcement.” Now it’s troops in our capital to disappear the homeless. See the pattern? Sooner or later, the monster comes for us all.

🤬

Do they really think they can scare us with the word “socialist” when they are literally sending out men in masks with no warrants and no badges to disappear people off American streets?

I know what I’m scared of, and it’s not a socialist.

The White House says it’s now limiting how much classified intelligence it shares with Congress, following criticism from lawmakers over the Iran bombing.

We read Farewell to Manzanar, I Am Rosemarie, and other books centered around Japanese internment and/ or Concentration Camps abroad in middle & high school in the 80s. I was disgusted then that this happened & disgusted/ furious now. We were taught this so it would not happen again! WTAF

The right wing and Fox launched a smear campaign against Newsom. In the past, he might’ve ignored it—but he’s seen how right-wing trolls work with Fox to create false narratives. So this time, Newsom responded immediately. No hesitation.

Juneteenth calls us to understand the realities of our past, celebrate the resilience and achievements of Black Americans, and align the course of our country toward its founding creed of liberty and justice for all. Wishing everyone a meaningful Juneteenth!

ICE looking more and more like the American Gestpo.

With everything else going on, the Senate sent the Big 💩 Bill back to the House, and made some changes. Here’s one:

This is not normal. A sitting president refusing to call the governor of a state after two elected officials were shot, one fatally, is beyond words. A typical president, regardless of politics, would pick up the phone. Offer condolences.

There are widespread reports of ICE agents abducting people while masked, without warrants or identification. Due to recent events, we strongly advise: do not open your door or car for anyone you don’t know. That’s the message. No need to elaborate.

House Democrats need to bring articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem, while Senate Democrats need to bring that chamber to a fucking halt.

Dem Senator Speaks Out After He Was Thrown To Ground And Handcuffed For Questioning Kristi Noem At LA Press Conference If they can do that to a United States senator...

If they can do that to a United States senator... think about how little they care about what they do to us.
