There are moments I have flashes of anger just short of smashing things about this. We threw it away, we fucking chose to throw it away. And be 'we' I do mean the mass public, not just the crazies they voted for.
Notice how all of our geopolitical enemies constantly attack the EU and push against European regulation.
They do it because those regulations are exactly what protects us from them.
A united and well-regulated Europe is their biggest nightmare
Trump allies are quietly buying up the information space.
They own most social media platforms and will soon own a massive chunk of traditional television networks.
Handing the entire public discourse over to a few partisan billionaires is incredibly dangerous
Yikesπ¬
Have Vance and Trump said thank you?
Biden gave this to America and America hated it.
Folks, please stop saying things like βwhy is Congress letting him get away with this?β You are missing a few vital words. Itβs *Republicans in* Congress. π
Had to doublecheck the date on this
Also - "traitors are they" is bizarre syntax for an American...unless they routinely talk like Yoda? Or a 1600s era pirate?
The location of the plaque that was just hung, is in a place that it will not be visible to the public. While I am thankful for this first step, our lawsuit continues until they plaque is hung in accordance with the law.
CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.
Heβs talking about targeting certain βgroups of peopleβ for total destruction β thatβs genocide talk.
Heβs also talking about it taking βmany decadesβ til Iranβs surrender, which he has said is the only thing thatβll make him stop.
SO many gross things to speculate about!π€
I confess to noticing it looks like he's losing a lot of hair lately. SO many visible bald spots!

π³π€Lawd have mercy, Jason, what have you gotten into now??π
He was a fresh young thing, you know, who couldn't have known what he was doing, so they were very MEAN to break the news to him by giving the info to the media. Also, how could such a fresh young innocent thing know that he would face scrutiny???
This thread is lousy with trolls/bots.
The New Yorker Kristi Noem will be remembered as the most incompetent Secretary in the 23-year history of the D.H.S. now
I donβt think the incompetence actually is going to be what Kristi Noem is remembered for.
It will be the killings, the lawlessness, and the grift, if I had to guess.
I *still* carry anger over this whole thing. Seeing your frank comments about it helps me feel sane and normal. Thank you.
The Pentagon just put this person -- who has boosted the views of white supremacist Nick Fuentes, among other unacceptable public posts -- in charge of its AI policy: www.reuters.com/world/us/sta...
The Trump regime has abandoned the constitution:
- declared war without Congressional authorization
- ignoring multiple court orders
- impounding Congressional authorized funds
- ignoring the freedom of speech and assembly
Itβs a lawless regime that has no legitimacy.
π«© I don't feel bullish about that at all. He's got a LOT of work to do. And I have questions that need answers.
That Texas map.π«© I don't like the looks of it. Got a LOT of side-eye today, tbh.βΉοΈ
I believe this speaks for so many of us.
I'll never forgive Republicans for watching his behavior and STILL choosing to uplift and protect this guy from accountability. I'm angrier about THEIR betrayal to this country than anything else.
whether war, vaccines, or critical infrastructure there is contingent of the right that seems to believe that their security from the worst things that happen is some kind of metaphysical principle rather than the result of specific historical processes that could've gone otherwise and still could
A bit of news from this City Council hearing: Simone Hawkins, deputy chancellor for early childhood education at DOE, says 2-Care *is* expected to be full day/extended day, meaning it would go until 5 or 6pm and would not end around 2:30pm like 3k/preK.
Full day universal childcare for 2 year olds in the next 4 years is actual life-changing, family-changing policy. I (almost!!) can't believe it.
NYT: "Americans alarmed by the death of four U.S. service members might have been expecting a formal presidential address from the White House. Instead, they are observing a president treating this like every other day: talking about his ballroom, attacking Democrats, bashing the news media"
Republicans: You're obviously PRO-hornet's nest and you want hornet's nests to take over the whole world!
Stoking anxiety over a Black woman's odds of winning a general election in a state full of racists--this is one of Talarico's MAIN arguments. But Crockett's the superior candidate. And I resent the exploitation of racism--even if it's someone else's--to wreck her chances in a PRIMARY. It's wrong.
