SHUT THE FUCK UP, REPUBLICANS. "NO KINGS" PROTESTORS DO NOT "HATE AMERICA" — BUT I HAVE A LONG LIST OF SHITWEASELS WHO DO, AND YOU CAN READ ABOUT IT IN MY POWERFUL POST THAT NO ONE THOUGHT POSSIBLE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. LINK IS HERE: bit.ly/43lAtYs

let’s start with those doughy incel pantloads who just got caught texting each other about how awesome Hitler and gas chambers and slavery are.

these unfuckable shitkazoos thought it would be fun to try to outdo each other in seeing who could post the vilest slurs about blacks, gays, Jews, women, immigrants and any number of marginalized groups.

ask any one of these ‘young Republicans’ if they love America, and they’d all sprain their necks nodding in agreement. well, guess what: you can’t claim to love America when you hate half the people who live in it.

oh, and here’s a pro tip: you can’t love America and Hitler at the same time. sorry, but that shit is incompatible. we had an actual war about this, remember? pick a fucking side.

Please tell people how losing the ACA subsidies will impact everyone's insurance, not just those who using the ACA. People need to understand.

I want to know who exactly our military has killed, and I want to see the proof.

Hitlergate wasn't "kids"—it was 20- and 30-something GOP flacks.

No one in the GOP Hitler chat was a "kid"

We checked. Sorry, JD Vance.

"always stood with Capitol Police..." says Mike Johnson. Did he forget about January 6?

MeidasTouch @meidastouch.com · 1d

Maybe Mike meant "stood on" Capitol Police?

Who remembers Epstein had a “first” suicide attempt in jail?

Totally deep-sixed. Any credible story should at least refer to it. It stinks. My jorno profession is failing:

Video Outside Cell During Jeffrey Epstein's First Suicide Attempt 'No Longer Exists'

www.npr.org/2020/01/09/7...

Video Outside Cell During Jeffrey Epstein's First Suicide Attempt 'No Longer Exists'

After first reporting that the video had been preserved, prosecutors now say that further investigation shows officials "inadvertently preserved video from the wrong tier" within the Manhattan prison.

I wrote a book about January 6, 2021.

Want to know when the Trump administration began its systematized lying about antifa and the FBI being behind MAGAs' attack on the Capitol?

January 6, 2021.

Rudy Giuliani had a suite at the Willard Hotel that was the command center for broadcasting that lie.

Hold them accountable. People negotiate and compromise in a democracy. Our elected officials work for us.

Steven Beschloss @stevenbeschloss.bsky.social · 5d

Let’s not forget that every single Republican who stands by and enables Donald Trump could stop this recklessness today, tomorrow or any damn day of the week. Their failure—their refusal—to do so makes them complicit in his crimes and the crimes of his corrupt, lawless regime.

Our family and friends, including moms, dads, grandmothers and grandfathers who served in World War II were antifascist too.

I hear Sen Mike Lee is butthurt about this depiction of his slavish devotion to a dictator because he so wants a seat on SCOTUS that he’s willing to sell us all out to a wannabe dictator and he hates people pointing that out

Geez. Should be illegal

Yesterday they were shooting priests in the head with rubber bullets. Today they're arresting journalists. If you have anyone in your life who doesn't regularly follow the news and doesn't understand how bad things are and how bad they're about to get, you need to tell them right now. Time is short.
