"well what are the Democrats supposed to do" I don't know! They're supposed to know! I'm not the one who sought and obtained a political position that would require me to know what to do when the ruling party attempts to install the President as a dictator!

The political project of the Trump Admin is mass death. Sometimes fast, sometimes slow. This is the real threat, not the people they target to justify their actions.

seems like a non-insignificant percentage of rage against the machine's fanbase are young republican men driving SUVs bopping their head to anti-oil, pro-immigrant songs thinking the lyrics are about how they wish their suburban parents would get off their back

MAGA wants to redefine anti-fascism so they can have a blanket term to "justify" murdering and kidnapping everyday Americans that question the Trump regime, call out its numerous criminal actions, and / or ask for the release of the Epstein files.

the idea that freedom is in our DNA is just a misinterpretation of the fact that we’re a nation of finicky whiners who don’t like to be personally inconvenienced

The editors of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) were apparently fired today.

The precursor to MMWR began in 1878 to address emerging public health threats rapidly.

Retired engineers, for *generations* have been a fertile ground for crackpot theories in everything.

They get that golden watch and bam, incoherent manifesto about quantum archeology inbound.

Love that they gave the Nobel Peace Prize to the sentient version of this tweet

"even if it's AI, it's at least true" hard to overstate the damage this stuff is doing to people's brains. we're gonna be cleaning the slop out of archives for decades

It's great that the New York Times employee the nation's leading segregationist as an contributing op-ed writer and the Douthat regularly injects pure uncut white supremacy into the national discourse and we still get regular lectures on how the mainstream media is too woke.
