“Enemy of the state” per VP Vance / Ph.D. in Political Science / fascists can kick rocks ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Something I’m NOT grateful for: an entire society full of men for whom a host of complex human emotions (fear, vulnerability, worry, overwhelm) are reliably filtered into anger so consuming and so righteous it can’t be tamed/must be absorbed (neutrally or supportively, only btw) by all.

"The fact that JD Vance has openly cited Curtis Yarvin as an inspiration and that Thiel is the person most responsible for creating Vance as a politician should be viewed as a national emergency."

We need to talk about JD
Not nearly enough news coverage has focused on JD Vance's influences and his extreme views.

According to Fox News, if you are a racist Young Republican you are still a "kid" when you are 34, but if you are an Epstein victim, you are an adult when you're 15.

Incredible how much dirt the Dems had on Trump and never used it 'cause the Epstein case hits a bunch of their own guys. Their donor class and the guys they advance as major candidates have so much more in common with him than with you.

Kind of wild that while food assistance was withheld from millions of families, one Trump-supporting billionaire (Ellison) saw his net worth grow more this year than the entire SNAP budget. And the YTD gains of the other four richest men would’ve fully covered salaries for all 2M federal employees.

Standing up to a tyrant - who is willing to impose pain as leverage to compel loyalty or acquiescence - is hard. You can convince yourself that yielding stops the pain and brings you back to "normal".
But there is no "normal". Submission emboldens the tyrant. The threat grows.

Weighing in on the near-cave by Senate Dems yesterday: A core ideology of the GOP during my entire lifetime has been "everything the fed govt touches turns to shit; fed govt should focus on military and police and leave the rest alone."

This could be us if we weren't strangling the solar industry to help keep oil prices up
Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Let’s never forget that 4500 US troops and about 200,000 Iraqi civilians died because Dick Cheney and his crew successfully deployed lies to grease the way to the Iraq invasion. He exploited post-9/11 fear and conned the public to launch a disastrous war. That’s his legacy.
By almost any measure, Cheney was the most powerful vice president in history, the "architect and executor of President Bush's major initiatives," writes Robert McFadden. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/04/u...

Between this and the terrorism against Latinos who are mainly Catholic, the US has become the leading persecutor of Christians.
Trump deported Iranian Christians with open asylum claims for religious persecution four weeks ago.
He expelled other Iranian Christians, including children, to Panama in February.

Early voting on Texas’ 17(!!) proposed constitutional amendments began Monday. I voted yesterday and, fyi, they are all in numerical order until Prop. 15, which is shown *before* Prop. 14. Can anyone confirm whether this issue is statewide? Does anyone know whether this could invalidate the results?
