“They want to eliminate national parks” is a very simple way to get just about anyone on the Stop Project 2025 train. Are there much more glaring and life-threatening goals of P25? Yes but even your most bigoted cousin does not want to see the parks system sold for parts.

This!! Start with “they want to end no fault divorce, sell national parks, and ban porn” end with tax structure.

I don’t know why people are doing this to themselves. The Biden response to this will be a strongly worded WH blog.

Clarence Thomas unquestionably committed tax fraud on his motorcoach deal and the president has the power to put him in handcuffs this afternoon, in his official capacity in charge of the IRS and federal law enforcement

Good thing we have a vigorous president who will make the case forcefully and coherently. He's backed by party leadership who've spent the past three years planning for this. I hate it here.

it's wild to see the quick pivot from "enjoy the CAMPS" to this. it honestly makes me feel crazy

my normie facebook friends are now expressing wishes for biden to drop out and i'm just amazed at months and months of "don't criticize biden or the bad orange man wins" has now become "biden's brain doesn't work, that guy needs to go tomorrow" all from the same people

No, actually they're Christians. This is Christian terrorism. Call it by its name. Lay the blame at the feet of the guilty. Don't distract from who is evil here. White Christians.

Y’all are chronically incapable of holding Biden responsible for his own policy decisions and I think it would be valuable for you, on your own time, far far far away from me, to examine why.

Oh, well if they *insist* it's different then it really must be

RIP the Gaza aid pier. It didn't last long, it didn't accomplish anything, and it was always just a PR stunt to pull attention away from the government's support of a genocide, but at least it cost more money than the federal government spends on addiction treatment programs

It’s a fucking cult. Palestinians are nothing but kindling to them, and I don’t think they even realize how many Palestinian Christians there are! Jews they see as useful idiots, who will one day be kindling themselves, come the apocalypse. More people need to speak out against this.

So much of US foreign policy in the Middle East makes sense when you realize a disproportionately influential Christian sect believes Israel is the material component in their Summon Jesus spell

The myth of White Innocence will never die.

a lot of moderate reactionaries are perpetually engaged in the project of claiming that conservative grievances are not driven by racism, but are in fact practical and legitimate.

This goes for family, too. Don't let them use blood obligation to shame you into accepting their bullshit.

"Have you considered never speaking to them again?" is excellent advice too infrequently given, IMO. And I don't mean a temporary, punitive "silent treatment." I mean accepting that the world is full of people you're simply better off not putting energy and time into, and cutting your losses.

The president should keep George Floyd's name out of his mouth.

if they were dragging thomas before senate judiciary to answer under oath about his relationship with his billionaire backers; if they had a robust, biden-approved package of court reforms, etc, it'd be very different. but the political message they're sending is "we don't want to fight over courts"

they made this same polite request of Roberts last year and he gave them the finger. he will almost certainly do the same this time. the Dems are at a crossroads with the courts. if they want voters to understand this as an existential crisis for democracy they need to act like it is one.

Can't deliver the aid we delivered using the pier we built because we might be obliterated by the bombs we supplied

None of the aid that has been unloaded from the temporary pier the US constructed off the coast of Gaza has been delivered to the broader Palestinian population, as the US works with the UN and Israel to identify safe delivery routes inside the enclave, the Pentagon says.

They are being brutalized by the cops that Biden gave more money after they responded to protests against police brutality with more of it. The nerve of this fucking guy.

I am so sick of white people leading these thought exercises about Black people being brutalized in a parallel universe. Black people are being brutalized RIGHT NOW for merely existing.

Authoritarians love to pretend that being socially shunned for being an abusive asshole is actual literal violence but the actual literal violence that abusive assholes enact and enable is not violence.

Chanting (unspecified) words and marching are violence because some Jewish students felt intimidated and afraid. So administrators decided to summon armed agents of the state to violently remove the "encampments" (sounds scarier than "camps").

one of the wildest uses of "although" I've ever seen —from Vassar's perfectly spineless letter to alums today. When moral cowardice becomes prose, strange effects emerge

Ask liberals why Trump would be worse than Biden on Gaza and they can only cite rhetoric. Now Biden's racist rhetoric is escalating along with the scale of the atrocities he's enabled. Liberals will excuse this, too, while blaming leftists for Biden losing support.

Here’s Biden being a lying genocidal monster:
