The reality, of course, is that Miller and a significant portion of Trump’s base are the ones who failed to assimilate to America’s post-WWII culture of multi-racial democracy & religious pluralism…and they are now using their power to destroy that once dominant (and still popular) American culture.
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

A woman recently went viral for holding up a window sign during a traffic stop, part of a growing trend of drivers using cards to assert their rights instead of speaking to police.

I think a lot about how profoundly unfair childhood trauma is.
It gives you a disability for effectively the rest of your life, AND can make you underearn, struggle with stability, become abused later in life, on top of impacting your physical health for years.

We’d like to end today with a quote from Eleanor Roosevelt:
We do not have to become heroes overnight. Just a step at a time, meeting each thing that comes up, seeing it as not as dreadful as it appears, discovering that we have the strength to stare it down.
Just keep going. Goodnight, heroes.

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics.
It is the root of our dysfunction.

Pretty sure DOGE accomplished exactly what it set out to do.
It's real purpose was to disable every oversight to elon's fucking ambitions.

I can't put into the words the visceral hatred I feel towards the administration in the US. The pain their behaviour is causing to Ukrainians is unforgivable.
Ukrainians have russians terrorising them with missiles & drones. Now the US is terrorising them with russian demands for capitulation.

excellent idea to rehabilitate the Democratic party and give it a powerful voice to focus on that which Americans need and want in opposition to the cruelty, greed and deceit
Pete Buttigieg would be a good DNC spokesperson.
He would do a GREAT job of going around the country, being on TV all the time, and putting out Dem messaging on EVERY issue.
He would be an excellent counter-Leavitt. And we NEED one. He should be holding regular press conferences and putting

The GOP via Project 2025 is the antithesis of the effort JFK invested in to ensure America would become a decent functioning democracy for all citizens
NEW: JFK was assassinated 62 years ago today. The current occupant of the White House is undoing much of what he did and sought to do.

Kennedy’s vision of a country built up through the service of its citizens is fundamentally incompatible with the vulgar cynicism of the current president.

Time to write the Requiem for America. You had a good run.
Almost made it to 250. But greed hatred and cruelty won and the grand American Experiment has failed.
Hate is a helluva drug and far too many Americans are fueled by it

a crisp concise analysis of the mindset of those with closed minds and closed hearts wherein hate is the fuel that animates them and kindness is seen as weakness
When they say Trump calling a reporter "piggy" is "just being honest," they are revealing a key feature of the reactionary mind: it believes, at a deep brainstem level, that *everyone* is awful & selfish & ugly on the inside. Everyone just suppresses it out of fear of social disapproval. Not Trump!

The Epstein Files Transparency Act includes a provision that permits Pam Bondi to withhold any information she deems necessary and anything that "would jeopardize an active federal investigation or ongoing prosecution."
This is why the GOP voted for it.
