the great khrizantema master thread

I'll start it off simple with basic politics! I am not a liberal, I reject liberalism. I am a progressive. We must *progress* past liberalism, it has failed us and led to fascism. Democracy is non-negotiable, and I have seen liberal Democrats negotiate it alot!

President Trump tells reporters aboard Air Force One that he doesn’t think he’s going to get into heaven.

“I don’t think there’s anything that’s going to get me into heaven.”

Fuck ICE

The deportation order derives from the crime of which he has now been exonerated.

He was wrongfully imprisoned for 43 years. Moments after being released, ICE took him

Subramanyam “Subu” Vedam now faces deportation.

Much journalism

The far-right mouthpiece who told young men to clean up their place while in front of his very clearly messy home, now has contracted an illness from all the mold in his home.

If you wrote such a fascist character in a story it would be deemed a silly caricature.

Jordan Peterson diagnosed with chronic condition after exposure to mold

Peterson's daughter said her father has a "genetic predisposition that causes the immune system to have an inability to identify and detoxify mold."

The prosecution of Tish James is the product of a broken system that allows lawless billionaires to rule alongside corrupt politicians.

It’s as much a story of New York City as Washington, D.C.

But it's here in New York where a new era of politics will be born.

I fully believe the theory that's going around that ICE has deliberately been recruiting from far-right militia groups, and the masking and refusal to identify ICE agents have been doing is an attempt to obscure that fact as opposed to being intended to "protect" them.

These guys have gotten incredibly rich by fleecing the government with subpar tech that was designed for rentseeking rather than performance. A smart Dem agenda item would be to build internal tech capacity. The fact that it would punish these guys is just a silver lining.
