Jesus has become, through political use,a hollow name. It just means "Wink wink nudge nudge we hate the same people,but invoke a G-d that says we're all worth while. So we're worth while and we can all hate together!"
(Also, it would be political suicide for anyone to say they're not 'for' Jesus.)

You know a thing that is very bad about this? This is the anti-trans playbook being played against women. Start with 'has the x movement failed the people it's supposed to help', then infantilize them, then make the case they can't be responsible for their own choices, then take their rights away
"Has feminism failed women brought to you by bank of america" is my MKULTRA sleeper agent activation phrase

So Congress’s insurrectionist will be able to sue for $500,000 cause of a bogus phone sweep during 1/6. But our personal info is stolen almost daily and we just get 1 year of fraud protection and a $2 check?

It's hard to disconnect yourself from capitalist pseudoculture, but it's more important now than ever. Spotify is replacing your playlists with corporate muzak. Harry Potter shit is being churned out by the same people who own Batman and The Sopranos. They want to kill the human capacity for art.

In a Hitleresque speech, JD Vance says there can be no unity with the left and vows to use the government to dismantle non-profit NGOs and liberal civil society who he says promote violence and terrorism.

So now we just give them “involuntarily lethal injections”! wtf!!

A reckoning is coming between the wing of the Democratic Party that is willing and able to confront the rise of American authoritarianism with the strategy and tactics that it demands and those who are not.
And it is obvious to me which side of that fight the party's base is going to be on.

if you can't sell the american public on the idea that federal troops in the streets is fundamentally unacceptable then you have no business being in politics. and if you do not forcibly believe this at your core such that you can't shut up about it, that goes double for you
Toxic feedback loop has kicked in: Trump's propagandists tell credulous reporters that occupying cities is good politics for him. Media echoes this as self-evidently true. That reinforces Dem instincts not to engage.
