I know they get rolled all the time but for the Times to get rolled by “actually they just want to reclaim the values of Western civilization as they see it … with larger families and fewer immigrants” is the Times putting the 14 words in the paper

I will bang this drum forever: in THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE FREE: THE GERMANS, 1933-45 Milton Mayer interviewed 10 ordinary Germans after WW2 to learn how fascism took hold. There was never a moment when everyone woke up:

if you’re waiting for everyone around you to wake up, you’ll wait forever. this is how the people grinding our bones to make their bread WANT you to be. paralyzed, alienated & purposeless

“Replacing employees loyal to the country with employees loyal to Trump” is one way I’ve been describing it.

Vampires hate daylight

Stephen Miller now following Trump's lead and saying he has nothing to do with Project 2025. 1. His organization is on the Project 2025 advisory board. 2. He recorded a video as part of Project 2025 training tools 3. You can see Mandate for Leadership, the Project 2025 publication in the background

Watching so many Americans slowly then not so slowly realize our media is managed and their reactions has been interesting

Biden has a bad debate night: calls to step down Documents released that show two underage women accused Trump of raping them on Epstein’s island, under oath: total media silence except in a few blogs and foreign news The media double standard is incredible to see

This is the top of Washington Post right now. Yesterday, Donald Trump pretended to disown a plan written by his top supporters, most of them former staffers, to mount a fascist takeover of the United States. It's presented on the side of the page in milquetoast language. Catastrophic dysfunction.

They’re gonna ban TikTok because the KPOP army made fun of his empty rally that got his internet guru fired. The right made one of the world’s richest men buy Twitter because we were bullying fascists and organizing. American journalism has become almost exclusively transcribing tweets.

People are like "there's no point in posting it doesn't make a difference to anything," 8 years after Donald Trump posted his way to the presidency of the United States

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.

apparently Brazil does not have a Merrick Garland

rolling back everything. fascism sucks.

NEW: A trio of federal court rulings this week have blocked Biden administration efforts to protect LGBTQ people in getting healthcare and going to school without discrimination. www.lawdork.com/p/trans-heal...

Trans healthcare anti-discrimination rule blocked nationwide as other LGBTQ rule challenges proceedwww.lawdork.com Some aspects of the rule enforcing Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act go into effect on Friday. Also: Another Title IX rule injunction.

i'm okay with the coverage of Biden's stamina, as it matters whether the guy can serve or not, but I think every single story about Biden should be forced to have an accompanying story about Trump's child rape allegations

the selling off of journalism to giant corporations was a bad idea

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

"Don't worry, if the president imprisons his political enemies, you can still get a writ of habeas corpus." "But to prove that's why you've been imprisoned requires proof of..." "Presidential motive!" "And under Trump v US, presidential motive is..." "Inadmissible!"

Some good news, a Wisconsin court ruled today that the state's draconian anti public sector union law Act 10 is unconstitutional under the state constitution.

"Okay guys, one more thing, this summer when you're being inundated with all this American Fourth Of July brouhaha, don't forget what you're celebrating, and that's the fact that a bunch of slave-owning, aristocratic, white males didn't want to pay their taxes." -Ms. Ginny Stroud

Presidential candidate who the far-right members of the Supreme Court just placed above the law tells voters how he will exercise his new powers.

i knew we were all in trouble when the Panama Papers dropped and everyone just shrugged. "Mass world wide corruption? Huh, interesting, what's on Netflix tonight?"

please don't let the child rapist back in power

Looks like something useful is happening on the Nazi site - this court document about Donald Trump’s involvement in the Epstein case is going viral This is a disgusting read

If people can get organized to march on the Boston transit agency to get googly eyes on trains, surely we can get organized to march on our government to get them to not crush democracy and stuff

No. And it's beyond devastating and frightening. But I also don't see the however many percent majority of the American public who believes it doing much either. It will take all of us.

Do the Democratic elite believe that 45 is an existential threat? If they actually do, what would you expect to see right now? Are you seeing that?

The number of Google searches for Project 2025 skyrocketed after Taraji P. Henson mentioned it during her BET Awards appearance and encouraged the audience watching to Google it. That single black woman did more for liberal causes than all the current DNC leaders and the candidates themselves.
