Do you oppose fascism?

There's no "regular politics" anymore because you can no longer maintain the idea that we all agree on common goals but we only differ about the means of getting there or whatever. The guys in charge now are plainly amoral, sadistic nihilists. They delight in it! You can't civilly disagree with that

📌“The fact that I am American means, among other things, people can’t say, like they did about Francis, ‘he doesn’t understand the United States, he just doesn’t see what’s going on.’
“Do you not see the suffering? Is your conscience not disturbed?”

-Pope Leo in a direct rebuke of the hideous Trump

"Conversion therapy" is a polite name for something that isn’t conversion and isn’t therapy. It’s abuse.

This is a bobble head RBG I keep it on my desk to remind me to avoid hubris. RBG stayed too long. Some people have a hard time knowing when it's time to go. Janet Mills is one of those people. She should NOT enter the Senate race but she is who the DCCC wants. Hubris. @janetmills4me.bsky.social

Hey, you idiotic propagandists at the New York Post:

God Bless America isn't the national anthem. It's a SHOW TUNE written by Irving Berlin.

really glad the tangerine tyrant did not win the Nobel Peace Prize but those of you celebrating Machado should take a long look at her right wing populist track record...there is a reason that VP Couch Lover signed a letter endorsing her...one of her favorite quotes is "it's no sin to be rich"

Epstien is not our Messiah. It’s like during the Mueller report. It’s Mueller time it’s Mueller time. Blah Blah Blah. Oh yeah that was a complete bust. C’mon. The Epstien shtick is another look over here while we drain your coffers. The BAD GUYS control it. Not US.

I am writing this because it has swiftly become crystal clear to me that many people have no idea what is happening or how this works. Here is a thread for non-academics to put into context what just happened to Dr. Mark Bray, a fellow historian.
