I wish I knew why so few Americans can wrap their heads around this concept. I don't know if it's willful ignorance or some sort of naïve, imagined invincibility simply by dint of having being born in the United States, but we are all one natural disaster or coup away from being refugees...
LA fires are a good reminder that the only difference between me and any refugee is luck.
Just a reminder that the Nazis targeted the disabled (as well as LGBTQ+, Roma, etc.) as well as Jews in the Shoah/Holocaust... As an openly bixseual, disabled Jew, this is chilling AF - Blind man dragged by federal agents into Portland ICE facility youtu.be/BH7eMAq_aZA?...

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

This is the legacy moment for Disney CEO Robert Iger, a man who once toyed with a Presidential run as a Democrat. You stand up for unpopular free speech or you stand against all free speech. There's no middle.

I keep thinking about that scene in V for Vendetta where Stephen Fry is a comedy show host that makes fun of the leader on his show--and then we see him being dragged away.

Congratulations everyone, this is authoritarianism at its most blatant...all of you who voted for Trump or downplayed the clear & present danger he presented: YOU ALL own this.
David Frum on Jimmy Kimmel: "This is not cancel culture because it's not culture. It's state repression. It's an order from the government. Here is the script, you must read, if you do not read it, you will be taken off the air."
I'm old enough to remember when @borowitzreport.bsky.social was satire!
Jimmy Kimmel should have stuck to acceptable comments, like suggesting that homeless people be executed
K has a lock-picking kit he's never used, so if you want me to send it to you, I'd be happy to!

Every last bit of this. That I'll shed no tears for Kirk doesn't change any of it.
Political violence is bad. It usually begets more political violence.

Celebrating political violence is bad. It usually encourages more political violence, against various targets.

Campus shootings are bad. They make everyone on campus less safe.

It's bad that what I wrote here is controversial.

Can someone *please* teach Witkoff the proper pronunciation of Nobel?! It's bad enough we have to listen to the ass-kissing synchophy, but the fact that they can't even pronounce simple terms is beyond the pale 😬
Witkoff: "There's only one thing I wish for: that that Nobel committee finally gets its act together and realizes that you are the single finest candidate since that Nobel award was ever talked about."
As someone who is autistic, I was born 40 years ago...the numbers haven't 'skyrocketed' so much as doctors & researcher refined the diagnostic criteria. Oh, and realised that women can, in fact, be autistic too. #SMDH
RFK Jr: "We're finding certain interventions now that are almost certainly causing autism. We are gonna be able to address those in September."

"Where America goes from here is a story yet to be written. It will surely get worse — Trump’s push now is clearly focused on locking in an illegitimate claim to power. Whether we can come back from this moment is a story yet unknown."

A chilling must-read.
The precise moment when and where in recent weeks America crossed that invisible line from democracy into authoritarianism can and will be debated by future historians, but it’s clear that the line itself has been crossed. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/america-ti...

Florida, here are your tax dollars at work. Law enforcement are being tasked with monitoring a crosswalk to ensure it's not restored with rainbow colors after the state government painted it over a second time over the objections of the local government and community.
A Florida Department of Transportation crew early Sunday painted the Pulse crosswalk back to black and white for a second time as supporters continued to try to restore the rainbow-colored crossing. Now, police agencies are monitoring the site.

Oh Man, what a summer that must have been for you! I remember that age and it makes me even more grateful mine's headed back to college ASAP lol! Not to mention that whole "incandescent rage" thing, which is apparently now my default setting...

How's the new job going?! Congrats btw!
Hey hon! The Tl;dr version is that it has been an insane last few months, but aside from moving to a new apartment and getting the kid back to college, I've been a total space cadet just trying not to spontaneously combust wit rage...so you know, the usual lol.😘😬🤷🏼‍♀️

How about you darlin'?
Again, don't fall for the blatantly obvious distraction attempt.
The craziest thing about this Cracker Barrel story is that Donald Trump was best friends with Jeffrey Epstein for decades and publicly admitted to trafficking young women to him out of Maralago.
