As if this week needed an extra dose of fascism, the Dept. of Homeland Stupidity served up another big ugly helping of it.
How nice of you to bother reporting on it, after you refused to endorse a presidential candidate in 2024. #BezosGreed
History will point to significant mileposts for the fall of Democracy in the USA, and the rise of a fascist autocracy in its place. This is one of the big ones:

Staying silent in times of injustice is privilege.
They say they don't like it when we call them nazis, but still they keep acting like nazis...

Weird to see headlines about the size of the market surges, without the context of the proceeding deep declines. As if the size of the surge would have been possible without the falling-off-a-cliff that came before the surge. Sounds very much like they're kissing orange ass. 🤦♂️
Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

We've done this mass tariff thing 3 times in American history. 1828 1930 2025 All spaced about 100 years apart because everyone who remembers the last one needs to be dead for the next one to happen. The last two caused depressions. This one will totally make us rich though.
People who try to pet leopards: "I didn't think the leopard would try to eat my face."
Happy Hands Off Day!
Oh, and Obama finally spoke out:
Barack Obama breaks his silence about the current situation in the US: “Imagine if I had done any of this”

That's quite a stretch to assume I am doing nothing just because I wish he would speak out. This conversation is just you looking for reasons to snipe, so I am done now. Bye.
If you still think everything will be fine in 4 years, it's time to rethink that naive notion:
The Orange One "says he’s considering ways to serve a third term as president"

I expect him to not remain silent while our government is being dismantled and replaced with a fascist autocracy. If he speaks out, more people will become active in the resistance. Why do you think that's so unreasonable? Why do you think it's fine for him to rest on his laurels in silence?
He's a really shitty actor.
😂 I can never tell if he's really that stupid, or if he's just stupid enough to think everyone else is that stupid. Such a dangerous clown.
I asked AI to explain fascism to a five-year-old, and the response is chilling. This is exactly what we are dealing with. Fascists.
Unfortunately, most people who oppose it can't understand at least 30% of those words, and will not bother to look them up. 😟
Yeah, but when there's some leadership, ppl who are not normally inclined to get up and do it are then more likely to get up and do it. (Finding ways to criticize any post is easy. Finding effective ways to urge people to get active isn't. You're great at the former, maybe try the latter for a bit.)
"We are currently clean on OPSEC." 😂
Since Jan. 20? Not one word.
Hey, um, Barack? The tradition of presidents remaining silent about what their successors do is a problem. These are extraordinary times, that tradition must end. We are out of time, we need all hands on deck before the fascist autocratic coup is complete. Please don't wait until it's too late.
That's not fire in his belly. That's heartburn from the thought of losing all that corporate sponsorship.

Hard to believe it's been almost five years since we all learned how to wash our hands.
