It's as if our press just can't process a threat as grave as Trump. They no longer have the skills or backing from their top editors to grapple with such a grand-scale horror as the death of our democracy. So they've shrunk the issues down to a size they feel comfortable with: Shaming an old man.

Pointing again at my US Blue State Challenge. If you live in a "blue state", pick the red state you hate the most and the issue you care about the most and find a group in that state working on that issue and support them.

One thing I don’t understand is why, when people are outraged by some injustice or affront — like book bans — they don’t first look to see who is already tracking the issue, who’s already working on education + organization. “We need to do something!” People *are*. Find them. Help them.

Trump is a fascist narcissist who lies constantly. That’s not dementia. That’s fascism and narcissism.

When someone lives in a fantasy world where they are the greatest thing that ever graced the planet and literally everything they say are outlandish lies, that’s dementia. That’s trump.

USians, the 4th of July is a great time for us to call our electeds and leave voicemail asking them to support AOC in calling for impeachment of the 6 right-wing SCOTUS justices.

I have no idea the best path re Biden but I do know a solid week straight of “Biden Old” and “Rich Dems Worried” above-the-fold stories are *obscene* in the face of SCOTUS using the Constitution to wipe their asses purely in the service of reinstating a felon rapist as president. Crazy-making shit.

If you care about the USA, the single best thing you can do today is to contribute to a downticket race thats close. The second best thing you can do is cancel your NYT subscription and use that money for the purpose.

Holy moly. What is going on over there is grim.

Lmao they just changed the title of the piece from “Why I don’t vote” to “Why I won’t vote” rather than tell readers that the guy actually does vote

Marjorie Taylor Greene's pro-Russian rhetoric is so dangerous to our democracy. Is parroting Vladimir Putin's talking points now a priority for "America First"?

From what I can glean, Bolsonaro being charged with "criminal association" is basically the Brazilian version of saying he did the RICO.

Fun fact: unlike in Brazil, where rule of law still exists for presidents, in the US now it is now impossible to enforce our Emoluments Clause in any way, shape, or form, because that would require gathering evidence about the president's official acts. Trump would get to keep the diamonds.

Brazil’s Federal Police have indicted former President Jair Bolsonaro for money laundering and criminal association in connection with undeclared diamonds the far-right leader received from Saudi Arabia during his time in office, according to a source with knowledge of the accusations.

Fucking @nytimes.com changed the headline and thought no one would notice. The TL;DR: Times runs a stupid "don't vote" piece from an idiotic right wing pundit. Turns out: surprise! The dude voted in both 2022 and 2020, and has written elsewhere about voting in earlier elections.

really not even trying to hide it

Four months ago, the Economist thought the country was being run pretty well.

To reiterate a point I just made in a response: There is a lot of evidence suggesting Trump is incapable of being president--regardless of what you think of his politics. We know from last term he doesn't read, doesn't process information well, and has an incredibly short daily work window...1/

Wow, real banana republic stuff. I'm glad our presidents can launder money and associate criminally without worrying about this kind of thing.
