The "Ukraine never in NATO" crowd seems to think they're avoiding confrontation with Russia, but they're actually encouraging Russia in a confrontation that's well underway. Events are past the point where "don't make Russia nervous, don't push back, or they might get aggressive" becomes denial.

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

Elon Musk calling for the execution opponents of an unnecessary vote "safety " act that's designed to suppress legal voters in order to prevent a statistically irrelevant amount of mistaken votes and it having generally no impact on his corporate holdings is because he's been edging closer for years

Kamala is polling higher than Joe against Trump. I love the guy, he’s been a great President but there’s no undoing that debate disaster & I believe if he stays in, Trump wins. I hope he’ll decline the nom next week & give her his full support. Time to pass the torch.

An aspiring dictator & convicted felon w history of treason may win the presidency. Profoundly corrupt SCOTUS justices undermined the constitution and gave him immunity from prosecution for past & future crimes. This is all political journalists should be writing about 24/7. We’re at the precipice.

Like remembering that before unions, a lot of folks worked 6 or 7 days a week, it's worth remembering that before environmental movements, the air and water in a lot of places were fucking gross. Left to their own devices, companies just straight-up poisoned people. They will again if we let them.

It's worth googling the Great Smog of London to see how far we've come. Images like this from the 1950s. It was caused in part from burning coal

I think this is the first time Musk has suggested fellow Americans should be executed.

Today’s insane ruling from the conservative justices is a five-alarm fire warning. All third-party and swing voters better wake the fuck up.

An Oklahoma Republican introduced a bill that would ban emergency contraception—and using IUDs for EC. He said he wrote HB 3216 with Alliance Defending Freedom and claims his intent was to revert over-the-counter EC to Rx-only. They are coming for birth control. www.fox23.com/news/new-abo...

GE boasted $7 billion in profit in 2023. So it must have paid a lot in federal taxes, right? If you guessed $1, you’d still be high. In fact, GE got a *refund* of $423 million. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged for the rich.

The most "keep that man's name out of your mouth" ever

The most important thing to realize about Trump’s statement about NATO, money and Putin is it almost certainly has nothing to do with money. It’s grooming the base for his planned realignment against our allies and with Putin.

Whoa! Are you freaking kidding me? Trump is telling Russia to attack our ALLIES and he promises to do nothing to stop him, even saying Putin can “do whatever the hell [he] want[s]”. News media...you see this RIGHT?!? www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

This should be the story tomorrow, and every day: The leader of one of America’s two major political parties has just signaled to the Kremlin that if elected, he would not only refuse to defend Europe in World War III, but he would gladly support Vladimir Putin. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Trump Encourages Putin to Attack NATO Memberswww.theatlantic.com At a rally on Saturday, the former president announced he would tell the Russians “to do whatever the hell they want” to states delinquent in their bills.

Agree with this 100% and the flip side is also true. Trump wants to be a dictator and Republicans will happily enable him in removing the last safeguards to make that happen.
