so crazy to just be living every day through the slow motion car crash of escalating fascism and it’s still like. aw man i have to go to the dentist

If humans could fly, I think some of us would. But it probably takes the same amount of energy as running. So realistically, I think most of us would end up like pigeons & loiter outside of convenience stores instead of flying across the country.

You gotta live

I know it sucks, but the only way we get through it is together. So you gotta live

Get scared, get angry, get involved how you can, but you gotta live

You can cuss the whole time, but you gotta live

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

This isn’t over yet. Spread the word.

Republicans' Big, Beautiful Bill would:

— Kick 16 million off their health care
— Close 1 out of 4 nursing homes
— Hike your energy bills
— Add at least $4 trillion to the national debt

It’s a gift to the rich and a disaster for families.

Billionaire tax cuts are a policy choice.

Cutting healthcare for millions is a policy choice.

Cutting food assistance for children is a policy choice.

Taking from the poor and giving to the rich is a policy choice.

Make no mistake: Trump and the GOP are choosing to do this.

they are 1000% going to suggest putting “friggin laser beams” on the alligators’ heads soon

These are the exact sorts of libs with whom we need to build lasting alliances, because if they’re on board, most of the dumber ones will eventually come around

journalistic objectivity is a tool that is useful for certain things. it's been turned into an ideology by bad faith actors and cowardly, self-interested hacks with family money.

like all cults, it gradually destroys its adherents.

All weekend this has been in my head and if it wasn’t in yours before, I’m sorry that it is now.

People need to get more comfortable having allies who sometimes do cringey things. Building community isn't about everyone being a perfect extremely cool and hip person. It's about working together towards a common goal. You want the cringey people on your side.

(It took every character to get that quote in there)

“The distance between what is said, and what is known to be true, has become an abyss…The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil. When truth leaves us, when we let it slip away, when it is ripped from our hands - we become vulnerable to the appetite of whatever monster screams the loudest.”

it really doesn’t matter if someone is in america illegally or not. who cares, grow up

Donald Trump’s deployment of the military in Los Angeles over the objection of California leaders is an abuse of power and a dangerous escalation.

It’s what you would see in authoritarian states and it must stop.

Americans have the right to speak out and peacefully protest.

We know. They gave you immunity.

The Supreme Court holds that fascism is bad. Thomas and Alito dissent.

THE PENTAGON BUDGET JUST HIT A TRILLION DOLLARS.

Not a single pundit from either political party said “how are we going to pay for it?!”

Don’t dare tell us we cannot ALL have healthcare, housing, and education.

The fact that they’re tracking autism and not the bird flu automatically tells you they’re operating on eugenics and not actually wanting people to be healthy. They want you sick, disabled, or dead.

you know what would drop the number of assaults of ICE agents to zero? abolishing ICE.

Americans pay into Social Security their entire working lives to live comfortably as seniors—

But Elon Musk and Donald Trump don't care.

Seniors are already seeing delays, and DOGE is teeing up more cuts to cripple the program.

They're playing with YOUR money and YOUR future.

Elon Musk’s DOGE cronies want an AI bot to replace the federal workers who advise students and families on how to pay for college.

Relying on AI for major financial decisions is annoying at best and reckless at worst.

Either way, it’ll cost Americans.

The big ol' dummy theory of history

one thing that's interesting about this moment compared to say the collapse of Tzarism or Imperial Germany is that the idiots in charge then had zero real skills or talents, whereas our idiot rulers each had exactly one skill that allowed them to maneuver into power

"The only minority destroying America is billionaires"
