None of this needed to happen. And the worst part in my mind, is there won't be an "allies" coming in to do "de-magafication" the way they did denazification in Germany.

No one will march Trump voters through these places to show them what their votes did.

easy slogan for the next democratic presidential candidate is “i will reform the corrupt supreme court and repeal citizens united”
“When Citizens United was decided in 2010, billionaires had spent $18 million on the 2000 election, $13M 2004 and $16M in 2008. Then came the deluge. In 2012 it was $231M, and nearly doubled again in next three election cycles —to $682M in 2016, $1.2 billion in 2020 and $2.6 billion in 2024.” Gift:

Like Trump pulling plaques off monuments, they'd prefer it were never mentioned. Then, they could go back to prtending.
I am at the point where if someone pulls, "You're actually racist for noticing racism" they're just a troll.

China, right now, believes that the costs of attacking Taiwan are unacceptable, U.S. deployment or otherwise.

I think it's important that the doom and gloom about deterrence and the future of the free world not come from the free world. To believe that we are doomed is to doom ourselves.
Does anyone seriously believe the US would defend Taiwan?

If China moves to attack, Trump will tell the truth about it, side with the smaller democracy over the larger authoritarian, strenuously object, send more arms, deploy US military assets, and risk/endure casualties?

Who’s confident in that?

"Participants at the protest, which organizers said included more than 100 rabbis alone from all over the country, carried a wide range of signs. Some bore references to Scripture, such as Lev. 24:22: “You shall have one standard for stranger and citizens alike.”

The level of restraint from Minnesotans in the face of this abuse is beyond belief.
Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones.

Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

The entire ethos of the Trump administration is that nobody who disagrees with them, nobody who fails to support them, is legitimate or entitled to any rights in any way. It is the ethos of thuggish tyranny.
I can't think of an attorney general ever showing this much open contempt for Congress before.

Not only would most of them think this kind of conduct was beneath them, they'd have known that the Judiciary Committee chair, whatever the party, would never stand for clownish antics like this.
Bondi is now just straight up ignoring questions from Democratic members

People of conscience are tired of hearing the “reasonable concerns from the forgotten man about globalization” because they were inevitably going to end in the horrors of lawless roving racial secret police death squads

Fuck yer concerns, fuck yer backward provincialism, fuck yer day
You're not going to believe this, but closed borders are racist. They always have been. They always will be. You can indulge in smoke-filled dorm room discussions of hypothetically non-racist immigration restrictions, but in the real world closed borders are racist af.

The amnesty of ‘86 was far and away the best thing about Reagan’s presidency and perhaps the most courageous, morally upright action any president of any party has taken on the issue in all American history
The only way we're going to get to "comprehensive immigration reform" is with a general amnesty of unauthorized immigrants in the country. If Reagan can do it, so can we. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ysmg...

Please send this jaw-dropping exchange to every MAGA who still thinks the DOJ isn’t blatantly protecting Trump and his cabal of wealthy pedophiles.
Goldman: "Will the survivors and victims who are here please stand up one more time. By show of hands, how many of you or your loved ones actually have met with the DOJ? None ... How many of you were ignored by the DOJ? All of them." (Bondi responds by smearing Goldman.)

This is the moral thing to do, its also the only hope we have of reversing the damage done to the United States as a destination for immigrants that we so desperately need to remain competitive.
I think we should go further. all immigrants in this country, legal and undocumented, should be granted citizenship as reparations for the current horrors directed at them. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/for-immigr...

I think Deep Space Nine was the single most relevant and effective Trek by far. It just ironically predated the War on Terror that it now feels like a commentary on way more than Enterprise or BSG that actually commented on it. #StarTrek #DeepSpaceNine #scifi #politics
