That’s $5 billion more than the entire annual USAID budget. All to one country. To rescue one friend of the president’s.

Trump found another $20 BILLION to give to Argentina, totaling their bailout to $40 BILLION.

Yet we can’t afford to prevent millions of Americans from losing their healthcare.

Shame.

Who does this help? Seriously - the problem we are confronted with is overt fascism. Whatever you thought of any previous administration, this IS different, and it requires our full attention. But Biden anything is a pointless distraction and equates very different presidencies.

We can play games with this, but either you’re kidding or you know what I meant. I *do* know people who bought the fiscal responsibility lines who *did* leave the party in 2015/6.

And let me be EXTRA EXTRA clear:

If you aren’t fighting antisemitism, you are aiding racism. It is ONE fight.

If you aren’t ready to stand ten toes down, inform your GOP-voting family members that their politics are a reflection of the racism that has terrorized Black Americans from jump, and cut them OFF, your protests mean NOTHING.

If you aren’t ready to cancel Thanksgiving, your anger means NOTHING.

You all will ONLY listen to each other.

We can make art, we can give speeches, but unless white liberals today are as down for the cause as Joan Trumpauer Mulholland, your disgust at this administration means nothing.

Your marches mean NOTHING if you don’t address white “supremacy.”

If the other side is hopeless, then you all really and truly need to finally acknowledge how bad things are over here.

White Dem leadership will not listen to us. It’s up to you all to make the noise that fixes the issues within our party.

It’s up to the whites.

White people need to talk to other white people. It is entirely up to the whites to move the needle on their end.

Let me be clear: racism and antisemitism are rampant on *both* sides of the aisle.

Every decent Republican has already renounced the party. If they haven’t, they’re not decent.

Talking over Jewish people when you are not Jewish is no different than a white person talking over a Black person about racism when they aren’t Black

It seems some missed that memo

Calling it white washed is projection of yourself not a reflection of them

And the question to them in return is: "So where are your millions of counter-demonstrators?"

Hey, their side has the most billionaires, why can't they buy millions of demonstrators, too?

Federal officials claim Portland's ICE facility closed down due to protests. Even federal judges acknowledged this as true.

So OPB decided to fact check it. Data show bookings at the building never stopped.

Portland’s ICE building closed for 22 days this summer, but immigration arrests and detentions hardly slowed

Justice Department attorneys argue the facility was “inoperable.” Some public functions were halted. Bookings were not.

A couple of days ago, a dementia-addled man who has always had a short attention span left a meeting and claimed that a specific number of feds had been deployed into the January 6th rally as agents provocateur. The aforementioned blister is noted for accusing opponents of his own crimes.

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

I could write a thesis on how the “when they go low, we go high” doesn’t work when your opposition wants to murder you and everyone you love. But for now: bully the fascists relentlessly.

As authoritarian rulers gain ground across the democratic world, “a question from the 20th century has resurfaced in the 21st, one that presses on individuals as well as institutions,” Jonathan Freedland writes. “Put simply, who bends the knee to tyranny and who stands up to it?”

Opinion | A Lesson From the German Resistance That Applies Today

The best safeguard against tyranny is a legion of people who believe in an authority higher than any political program.
