Yet another scandal unprecedented in American history.

Either Trump is senile and doesn’t recall issuing the pardon or a staffer issued it without Trump’s knowledge. Doesn’t matter which. Both are reason enough to remove him from office.
O'DONNELL: Why did you pardon Changpeng Zhao?

TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is

O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a $2b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him.

TRUMP: Here's the thing -- I know nothing about it

Funny, the person who actually attacks the hobbits and their quaint existence in the Lord of the Rings books is Saruman—a lord of industry who is destroying the earth to grow his own power.
Elon Musk, "These lovely small towns in England, Scotland and Ireland, they've been living their lives quietly. They're like hobbits"

"And so one day, 1,000 people show up in your village of 500 and start raping the kids"

"This has now happened, God knows how many times in Britain"

he still thinks "migrants seeking asylum" means they were released from an "insane asylum"
O'DONNELL: Are we going to war against Venezuela?

TRUMP: I doubt it. They emptied their mental institutions and insane asylums into the United States of America

So, how are things going over on the right?
This is the shit that's irritating. Who voted for crazy fascists? Who voted for lunatic authoritarians? And not just the one off House rep from mutant central. The fucking president was voted for by the GOP as a party. It's bananaland to screech that it's Dems fault.
This is classic cope. Tom isn't a bad or misguided guy, but this is a classic switcheroo to justify Dems being bad when Trump MAGA-fied the GOP. Pro choice is like >55% of the electorate, Dems made the obvious right choice. This is cope to excuse being bad by conmen.
Democrats had a big enough tent for pro-life Dems - who were never going to sway the party off of being pro-choice, but were added to the coalition for things like control of the legislature and all other issues Dems care about.

idk man, i think the women who could get necessary abortions and didn't die of pregnancy complications are pretty fond of that electoral tradeoff

Really, by the 1750s he was already moving towards abolitionism, due to his friendship with the abolitionist renegade Quaker hermit Benjamin Lay.

When I wrote about militant fundamentalism in the US military in my book C St, I was talking to select colonels & generals who saw the US as waging Christian holy war. Christian fascism has since gotten a promotion.

$5M in Shein stock is crazy. to put it in perspective, a child would have to work three billion hours in a Shein factory to earn a 1/10000th of this

I'd totally missed this:

In Tumwater, WA, a HS student complained about a trans basketball player. Then, the local school board passed a resolution to ban trans girls from girl sports.

Now, the mother of that student is running against the sole school board member to vote against the resolution.

The people of Little Village showed the nation what courage looks like: standing unarmed, united, & unafraid in the face of ICE’s tear gas & violence. They protected their neighbors, not with weapons, but with peaceful & fierce solidarity.

This is from Autocracy, Inc, about how modern autocratic propaganda works.

I consider this every time I decide what to share and how to frame it.

The Democratic Party has many faults but alleging that the party’s declining popularity or success is rooted in some sort of global leftward ideological drift is pretty funny.

Trump is reshaping election control by installing loyalists and stripping state power, a sweeping federal grab that could let the White House decide how America votes and who counts the ballots.
