Did people actually believe Trump during his campaign, or did they just love the permission he gave them to be racist?

Trump on loop: “They’re stealing your jobs.”

If that were true, why aren’t Americans lining up to take those so-called “stolen” jobs?

Every Trump voter needs to see this.

PSA: People on bikes aren’t swerving to annoy drivers, they’re just trying not to die or destroy their mode of transportation.
This is generally what the bike portion looks like of our “shared” roads. Glorious.

Today we discovered that the Madrid coat of arms features ... a bear eating berries. There is imagery of a bear eating berries all over the place.

We were so delighted by this. We want "bear eating berries" to catch on as like a variant of "bitch eating crackers."

Two things about fascism I didn't really grasp until it became our reality:

1) it's not all-or-nothing. You can have more or less fascism. (Which means even though that's where we are, we can still push back, resist, make many things less bad for many people.

2) It isn't *everywhere* +

It does feel like everything, everywhere, all at once.

Tweet from Brian Allen: “🚨 RFK Jr just said circumcision causes autism, but not because of the procedure. He claims Tylenol is to blame... and says ‘two studies’ prove it. We’re officially in conspiracy multiverse madness.”
Below, a C-SPAN screenshot shows RFK Jr speaking at a table during a Trump administration cabinet meeting.
