If the Seattle Mariners won the World Series over the Milwaukee Brewers it would be a lot of fun and sneaky revenge for 1970.

Obama: "When you see an administration suggest that ordinary street crime is an insurrection or a terrorist act, that is a genuine effort to weaken how we have understood democracy."

yearly reminder to people insisting that we view Christopher Columbus as "a man of his time" that *the people responsible for the Spanish Inquisition* thought Columbus was out of pocket

Thomas Lecaque @tlecaque.bsky.social · 22h

Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.

Fuck Columbus.

I also think he hates this. The character is kindof the opposite of his whole jam - in practice. He's governing to the right of his base and is historically unpopular. When he was AG, he was much more liked.

It's really interesting how some parts of the United States have a high human development index, like Scandinavia or Japan, while other parts of it are basically the developing world.

As ICE terrorizes communities, remember that some of Trump's biggest supporters are private prison companies that will make bank off his budget bill.

And Stephen Miller recently disclosed over $100K of stock in Palantir, the shady data firm ICE uses to target immigrants.

Cashing in on cruelty.

Somehow to Republicans, "thought police" means a random person on the internet criticizing another person for saying something racist, but not actual police arresting someone for criticizing Trump.

When you control all three branches of government like the GOP does and you pass legislation to give tax breaks to the rich who do not need it. And to help pay for it, you cut social services the middle class and poor desperately need. Given that reality, you own the shutdown.

This is the reality of Conservatism: They are unable to empathize with others as strongly as Liberals. Until they or someone they care about is subject to injustice, that injustice does not exist.
