I am also an agnostic who’s pretty convinced that Trump is the actual Antichrist at this point - or at least the type of figure that humanity came up with the term “Antichrist” to describe.

I am not a religious man and specifically think evangelical mythology is funny as shit, but at some point I have to question my priors and consider he is the actual antichrist. They do believe this figure will pull the wool over the eyes of the gullible and lead people away from their jesus.

One thing Usha Vance loves is that her husband is fully aligned with the candidate whose campaign manager pushed propaganda saying that her parents eat human shit and should be rounded up in camps. She believes her 3 kids are an abomination & she should be punished for committing white genocide.

Can you imagine having to give birth in Gaza? I can’t. Women are doing it every day, for months. Help them.

My friend and graduate school colleague Mazen spent the first part of the war in Gaza huddled in tents while his wife Alaa waited to give birth to their child. They managed to make it to safety. Alaa is now raising money to help postpartum moms still stuck in Gaza www.gofundme.com/f/from-suffe...

Fascinating. "...the government affirms that climate change is real, that it’s destroying God’s work and that those in the world who reject the truth of climate change need to get on board. The Taliban has asked imams...to emphasize during Friday prayers the need for environmental protection.

Taliban tries reconciling science and religion in facing climate changewww.washingtonpost.com Afghanistan’s rulers, cut off from foreign assistance, are tackling climate change on their own while debating whether it is God’s doing or a foreign plot.

yeah the ideal solution here is just to trash it -- "but what if it's not there when *we* need it?" idc no one's calling any bluffs, just why have this stupid cruft exploit in the first place?

a disciplined party could literally put its feebler opps in the hospital by calling the filibuster bluff but that's not who the Democrats are

Trump is 100% now imagining getting shot at every time he gets in front of a crowd, for the rest of his life.

he looks equally rigid and uncomfortable and scared tonight. it's actually kinda weird, this is his whole deal

small gain but i'll take it

another favorite: "we can't do X because of the filibuster." okay so when was the last time y'all forced some geriatric GOP lich to stand on his hind legs for umpteen hours & actually *do* the filibuster? 🤔

"Democrats cynically decided they wanted votes from illegals more than they want to protect our children." — Ted Cruz with one of the grossest, most dishonest attacks I've heard in a long time

furthermore "GOP won't pass it/SCOTUS will strike it" is just learned helplessness -- a cop-out

All scoffing that this will never pass, SCOTUS would strike it down as unconstitutional. Since when did a policy proposal or a policy only have to be efficacious at achieving the stated goal to be politically effective? US immigration border policy has never been effective but serves a pol purpose.

Cori Bush knew articles of inpeachment for the J6 caucus were a non-starter but that didn't stop her from drafting the obviously right thing

The tl;dr This is union-busting, written as a statute. A company union is not a union, it is a way for management to dilute/interfere with the power of the union. Company unions have been unlawful since 1935, because everyone recognizes it is an attempt to union bust. This is trying to undo that.

Not a populist: GOP VP candidate J.D. Vance introduced the Team Act (with Marco Rubio) to empower companies to establish and dissolve “employee involvement organizations” (a.k.a., company unions), a long-standing goal of GOP business leaders: www.rubio.senate.gov/wp-content/u...

Was wondering why I don’t see Vance’s Marine background played up much relative to his childhood and then I realized it’s because he has the worst Private Pyle vibes I’ve ever seen

I was on a plane in 2016 and an old lady next to me was excited that I was reading a book on authoritarianism because she believed Trumpism was an incredible threat, then showed me that she was reading Hillbilly Ellegy for the same reason.

J.D. Vance seems like the type of guy who left where he grew up because he thought he was better than everyone else and now is returning because he got assigned by corporate to lay everyone off.

How well they can be expected to handle active shooters? Wut? That's literally the job. Stopping criminals from hurting people. Also this quote is true, but he's so close to getting it. Maybe don't make it easy to buy a dozen AR-15s.
