![Joyce Carol Oates quoting a tweet that says “wherever he [Elon Musk] goes, he wants to leave”:
"wherever he goes, he wants to leave"-- that's because when he gets there, he has brought his own self along; & whatever club he's invited to join has been devalued by the invitation.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:buy3qvqcj3o76leo6ap7pn2p/bafkreifilfbsxemfsambf4kqwolr24ld2ekqcrz4ybgv3bv7kzi5e6kppm@jpeg)
This isn't "internal recriminations," this is the people stating in no uncertain terms that our representatives are not representing us and we would like that to change.
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

Demolishing the White House to build a $250 million ballroom funded by Amazon, Lockheed Martin, and Palantir — all during a government shutdown — captures it all pretty well doesn't it?

Mike Johnson shamelessly lies: "We strengthened Medicaid. We improved healthcare access and we lowered premiums with our legislation."

No, we don't want "free" healthcare.
We want universal healthcare paid for by our taxes that covers everyone and leaves no one bankrupted and sick.
This isn’t difficult to comprehend.

"Nobody will do that though." Oh I guess there's nothing to be done, then. Very convenient if what you'd like is to avoid having to do anything.
I've noticed "we're cooked, it's over" is often the call of the person whose strategy is to hope they will not be in the oven.

Eternal reminder that for many on the Right, the cruelty is the point.
One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

I have a coworker who was a huge Charlie Kirk fan. He is also married to a black woman and has two kids with her. The Right's aptitude for doublethink would be impressive if it weren't so terrifying.
I see on the Bad Site that people are saying Karen made up this quote, which she did not: www.snopes.com/fact-check/c...
Charlie Kirk once said prominent Black women didn't have 'brain processing power' to be taken seriously
He was talking specifically about Michelle Obama, Joy Reid, Sheila Jackson Lee and Ketanji Brown Jackson.

It started with Gaza under Biden. We warned you. We warned you by sacrificing with our lives and careers. You either stood up for people, en masse, who lost their job protesting genocide, or you agreed live in a society where lives could be ended for being against genocide. Now it’s anything goes.
We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.
