Impeach and remove this lawless man, you fools.
This is a good lesson for journalists: Use plain language to state true things clearly.

"While jailed and unable to pay bills, Lipps lost her home, her car and her dog, she said. She also told WDAY News no one from the Fargo police department had apologized." It may take a while but this woman WILL get a check.
This is just astonishingly great reporting.
All of the crises the White House has claimed over the last 14 months were planned in advance. All of them.
And however much contempt you have for media outlets who reverently relayed Trump's claim to have no relation to Project 2025, it isn't enough.
War crime upon war crime upon war crime
We're dealing with a time that will last for however long and do however much untold damage, in which the worst bigots are in power, and siding with them and accommodating their perspective is unforgivably cowardly. It's important to point out who the cowards are so we can remember who they were.
I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.
Beautiful! o7 commander
Reactionaries convinced us for decades that something like gender studies has no practical use in society, and I know many reasonable people also believe(d?) this. It was the butt of the joke for as log as I can remember.
But OMG does this video drive home the point they were wrong.
The WSJ is tacitly admitting that Polymarket is used by administration officials for insider trading, since that is the only reason a “futures market” betting on a head of state would ever have news value. But they are too afraid to say it and seem to just hope you can figure it out. Annoying.
Weird how this keeps happening! www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...
whenever someone would go "oh what leverage you think they got on manchin?! red state, nothing they can do!" i'd just think. alright. now explain why they can't or won't get a guy in *delaware* in line enough to not do shit like 'rally for his valentine's vacation'. or, now, 'shit like this'
Blaming others is handy because it can absorb a variety of societal abadndoments, from the security you don't have, to the safety you don't feel, to the kinship you've lost, all in a culture hollowed out by avarice and state/corporate violence.
They literally think their (invented within the last 150 years) spell components for casting Summon Jesus will work and it is infuriating
for those of you who werent adults during iraq, its hard to overstate how much the media loves war porn. they salivate over pentagon spin briefings. they love stories about all the bombs and how supposedly infallible they are. they love the notion of the commander in chief, in the situation room etc
You cannot talk like this about any other minority in America.
And if it was any other president’s adviser who said something like this about any other minority, it’d be the instant end of their presidency.
there are a lot of people working in the government right now who want to intentionally trigger an apocalypse to create the conditions for the return of jesus christ and I know how crazy that sounds but its absolutely true
It’s incredible this is happening so rich people can support Trump while he becomes one of the most hated presidents in our history. The alienation between the wealthy and everyone else hasn’t been this bad for over a century.
I'm so old I remember when a lot of pundit energy went into the question of whether Joe Biden, and before him, Barack Obama, was doing enough to "bring the country together."
They’re publicly menacing and recording their professors. Does that sound like someone who’s afraid to you?
"of course people should have known, he didn't hide any of it!" is a valid complaint but the fact of the matter is that a lot of people self-evidently did not understand what they were voting for and they don't like it
Divide and conquer is not just a trite truism. Solidarity is the only tool to save multicultural democracy and too many groups are unfortunately now learning this the hard way.
Tl;dr: The institutions are not self-enforcing. Neither new laws nor Court rulings solve this problem, bc he is an authoritarian who simply keeps doing the things anyway, inventing new supposedly "legal" reasons to do them. This, like all the other problems, only has one solution in our system /end
Secretary Rubio, I hate to be the one to break it to you, but you ain’t White. If you think you’re new White Nationalist buddies aren’t going to come for you you’ve got another think coming. Neither 🇪🇸 nor 🇨🇺 are considered Aryan, and that’s the only direction this is headed.
