The reason mainstream Democrats are constantly trotting out the imaginary archetype of the Decent Conservative is because they are themselves just slightly more polite Conservatives.

85% drop in US spirits sold to Canada, and a 92% drop in sales of US wines. We were the largest market the US had, and now it's *gone*. Also: 29billion in losses this year so far for tourism to the US. The Boycott is working, Canada, keep it up!

Pam Bondi has basically said anyone visiting the US is subject to arrest and incarceration at any point, if law officials deem the individual a “threat”.

Genesis, a then-20-year-old, pregnant Amazon employee, says her manager wrote her up for sitting down and taking breaks.

Shortly thereafter, she says, her higher-ups gave her an ultimatum: Do your job the way we want you to do it, without the chair or without the breaks, or go on unpaid leave.

A pregnant Amazon employee asked for a chair to sit on—and wound up homeless

"You're just a number to them."

A lot of liberals really don't want to admit that the Biden pandemic response prioritized the demands of corporate interests over the health of working Americans. They thought he'd "follow the science," ignoring Biden's decades of supporting horrific wars & policy. Can't admit they got it wrong.

Never forget that your liberal hero Rachel Maddow stood by and did nothing when MSNBC gave the heave to her own protegee Melissa Harris-Parry back in 2016.

NBC, following CBS News, capitulates to the racist regime. NBC has eviscerated teams covering minority and LGBT+ issues. This surrender will buy NBC nothing. The only way to stand up to the fascists is...TO STAND UP TO THE FASCISTS. www.thewrap.com/nbc-news-lay...

NBC News’ 150 Layoffs Gut Black, Latino, Asian American and LGBTQ+ Diversity Teams

The cuts affected teams across the NBC News operation and came as the network no longer needed to support two different news operations. MSNBC has begun growing its own newsroom, hiring swaths of tale...

I think we need to talk more about entitlement in the “do fascists feel shame?” debate.

Fascists aren’t ashamed of oppressing people. But they do feel entitled to adoration for their oppression.

When we reject them, they act like an abusive parent, mortified that their kids don’t really love them.

Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social · 1d

some colleagues have suggested to me that shame is irrelevant because the people on the "other side" don't know or care what "we" (on whatever "this side") think of them. I have...not gotten that impression
