Four headlines in which Marjorite Taylor Greene, Tucker Carolson, Piers Morgan, and Alex Jones condemn Trump for his genocidal threats to Iran.
Imagine being a moderate Republican and getting outflanked on decency, morality, and basic humanity by these four nutters
call for an investigation into the president's fitness. call for the house to impeach. say you will obstruct every last bit of senate business. call for soldiers to disregard illegal orders. say you will prosecute the people who do this. say you will take their military pensions and benefits.
Are you running as a spoiler or do you really want to win this thing? A lot of people are looking for a 3rd option, but not many even know you're in the race. Do you have 65-day plan to actually win?
we appear to have four competing fascist movements jockeying for control: blood & soil nazism under miller and hegseth, darwinian ecofascism from rfk, technofascism under vance and musk, and one Big Wet Hitler who understands the true animating core of the american volk is a deep love for shopping
He’s an asset, one way or another, knowingly or not. He’s too smart to get duped like these dipshits (allegedly) but if you follow his money, it’s not unlikely that a big chunk of it is in some way downstream from some Russians. apnews.com/article/russ...
Les Wexner's attorney during the House Oversight Committee deposition on Epstein:
"I will fucking kill you if you answer another question with more than five words."
If they’re losing the “I’m not political but I love America” guys in Callaway hats…
I hope we all understand that the extraction class is building a state media akin to what we've seen in Orban's Hungary and Putin's Russia, and it is not at all subtle.
What's left of the independent press needs to start framing this properly.
HOW IT WORKS IN MOVIES:
1. Government lies
2. Brave heroes release video showing the truth
3. Press says “the government is lying!”
HOW IT APPARENTLY WORKS IN REAL LIFE
1. Brave heroes release video showing the truth
2. Government lies
3. Press says “Oh no, what now? So confusing! So hard!”
Yesterday, Minneapolis gave us hope. That’s what they’re trying to kill: the will of a people who are willing to fight them.
They’re fighting for their city but they’re also fighting for all of us
Democrats need to understand that they can just say “It’s insane to threaten Greenland” and “I don’t think ICE should murder Americans in the street” and you don’t need to pretend to link it to the affordability crisis.
Say bad things are bad.
Once again, one of the primary reasons we have arrived at this point (completely out-of-control & unconstitutional abuse of executive power to conduct wildly illegal foreign policy) is that no one, including the most senior people involved, went to jail for the rest of their lives for Iran-Contra.

"some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily execute civilians" says today's New York Times, continuing their long tradition of whitewashing fascism
Absolute all-timer sentence in today's @nytimes.com
the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok
Feel free to continue arguing over the shooter's motives, but please understand that *it doesn't matter*.
There's a organized political movement that plans to suppress, arrest, or kill its political opposition. It it seeking pretexts. Anything will do. If it's not this, it'll be something else.
Kirk didn't serve in the military or hold office. The war hero treatment -- half-mast flags, military guard, Air Force Two escort, calls for a statue at the Capitol or to lie in the Rotunda -- shows that for MAGA, service to Trump has become the highest, most honorable form of service.
You know who was also a young husband and father—not to mention ex-Marine—who died, not attacking others to make himself rich and powerful, but to save the lives of others?
David Rose, the officer killed by the anti-vax domestic terrorist who attacked the CDC.

Democratic governors lowering flags to half mast...? WTAF. I feel like I'm losing my mind.

Some admin actions make more sense when you understand they're eugenicists. Famously, (allegedly)Trump's nephew asked for help w/ medical expenses for his disabled son and Trump said, "Maybe you should just let him die and move down to Florida.”
Dr. Daskalakis nails it:

Most striking thing about this clip is not Trump floating the idea of being a dictator (again) and claiming some want that.
The most striking thing is his sneering dismissal of the counter argument "freedom."
Only modern US president to explicitly oppose freedom. Should be the basis of opposition.
The precise moment when and where in recent weeks America crossed that invisible line from democracy into authoritarianism can and will be debated by future historians, but it’s clear that the line itself has been crossed. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/america-ti...
With this vote, Congress makes ICE the highest-funded federal law enforcement agency in history, with more money per year at its disposal over the next four years than the budgets of the FBI, DEA, ATF, US Marshals, and Bureau of Prisons combined.
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.
One of the biggest barriers to fascist takeover in the US is a lack of a national police force - Trump is building one.
