Life is not of us or for us: it blows through us like the wind through trees; for us is the learning of the dance.
Let's try to not let the Anthropocene be a short epoch, or a populist demagogue define our cultural narrative and enshrine plutocracy.
This meme is the perfect encapsulation of the era:

-manufactured Americana
-outsourced “patriotism”
-foreign click-farm content disguised as piety and nationalism
-a fake culture war run by people who aren’t even Americans

It’s all so on-the-nose it feels like satire, except it’s real.👇

Our government now transparently for sale:

#ImpeachAndConvict #Trump
The DOJ abruptly drops a major corruption case, after FIFA rolls out the red carpet for Trump with a made up award and a primetime World Cup spotlight.

You don’t have to assert a conspiracy to point out how grotesque the optics are.

In America, justice is for sale.👇

The use of a "shadow docket" by SCOTUS to change the meaning of various laws as understood for decades is being challenged by some in the federal judiciary. While I have no legal training, I still believe applauding these challenges is helpful.

Lower Courts Openly Defy SCOTUS
A federal judge in D.C. just exposed the intellectual dishonesty of "Kavanaugh stops" and proved that unexplained shadow docket orders are no match for the written law.

Hey #GOP Way to go!
How about a traitor tax on all GOP Congress incomes?
When First Lady Michelle Obama ask the country to eat healthier and exercise the right exploded with awful words. Now they will be like” Yes, we have too much” . America please open your eyes.

WHAT???
Our dear leader President who pledged nothing but transparency doesn't want people to see what we know about Jan 6 ??
How could that be possible?
It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

Really nice reporting on the confusing 'coordinating spending" case.
Another classy, informative job of journalism the way we like it.

All the world can clearly see
You're cowards, bought, to serve a man

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and moral, then it’s not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power. - Dwight Eisenhower

When has Trump, the felonious President, ever had to pay for his crimes?
Donald Trump signed mortgage documents in the 1990s claiming two separate Florida properties would each serve as his principal residence – the same thing his administration is calling “mortgage fraud” when done by political rivals, records show.

It seems that the White House has decided it will not deny that survivors were killed in a second strike, while the defense of this seems to rest on language that suggests their death was necessary to “eliminate the threat.”
Good luck with that.
