The story of the Trump years decades from now will be that the US spent lot of money, energy, and suffering to work their way back to a zero because idiots have no face-saving way out of idiocy except escalation.
“Gas’s reputation as a reliable and affordable energy source has taken a serious hit, and plans for its speedy adoption in Asia’s developing nations have been derailed”
This + storage + electrification = possibly the biggest energy story of the decade
It will be the law of the jungle.
Market analysts are already predicting that rich countries will outbid poor countries for scarce oil and gas supplies. This means energy famine for the Global South.

How North Carolina Officials Kept the Truth About a Police Shooting Hidden
In 2019, a state trooper killed Brandon Webster claiming self defense. Evidence contradicted that account but wasn’t made public—until now.
He's a liar and a killer. I don't know what else to tell people, he's a rich eugenicist, he wants as many poor people as possible to die in the name of 'health.' He's a genuinely and uniquely malign figure in American life and his appointment was an act of violence

You guys call leftists purity testers and all this other shit. You call us pinkos and denigrate us and extremists and all this.
We want your fucking kids to go to school and eat healthy meals and grow up and be safe and have jobs and not be institutionally murdered by the state.
Humble yourselves.
somewhere along the line repub conservatism became a gag, then it became a grift, & then it roped the progressive dems in, & all hell has broken loose ever since. we cant survive w/ 2 parties sharing a common platform: if one thinks small, the other HAS TO think big by default to protect the people.

'When the mutton is nice and lean, and the tomato is ripe'
"The madness, after all, is not just personal. It is structural. When the balance of power is lost and democratic accountability is replaced by a cult of the divinely inspired leader, the conditions that exacerbate derangement become the principles of governance."
Pennsylvania's appellate court confirmed that access to abortion is a fundamental right under the Pennsylvania Constitution.

AOC talking to RFK Jr. Her facial and hand gesture has the spiritual energy of that Italian hand gesture where you pinch your fingers and wave your hand (the "ma che vuo" gesture).

Walmart has long been a facilitator of fraud on a mass scale, a ProPublica investigation found.

Aside from who started it, states like CA and VA putting a counter-gerrymander up to a referendum, where people are told and can make a decision on the context for why it's being done, has vastly more democratic legitimacy than state legislators rushing it through because they got bullied by POTUS.
It would honestly still be 1.0
Fingers crossed things turn a little Jim Jones for the GOP after this happening in Virginia.
I also think a lot of American GOP propaganda around bombing Iran is built around the racist idea that Iranians are some kind of primitive people who don’t know what modernity is and reject it. So in that sense making even better memes than the stupid shit Trump puts out is smart contradiction

(As I know you already know!) Why is such a question for this administration. Why why why are they like this, do this, choose this.
I would submit that a gerrymander by politicians saying fuck the voters and one by voters saying fuck the politicians are two wholly different animals
