Is there not something that can be done about this? If not, maybe Maddow or someone should have a masked, maga-hat wearing crisis actor on exposing the evil roots of the maga movement

After 6 months of triumphalism, proclaiming the new "golden age" on day 1, and constantly saying how "hot" and "desireable" the
US is now, the Democrats have shut the government down, and the Biden economy sucks and they apparently can't do anything about it. Sure Jan

You know, it seems that Christianity is the sole cause of anti semitism- 2000 years of Christians bashing Jews as the "killer of Christ", and losing their minds because the Jews did not embrace Jesus as the Messiah

"Annnd....it turns out that studies show that men who have sex with underage girls have double the rate of dementia..."

This is one of the most incomprehensible things of this entire era- go look the test up- it includes drawing clock face hands to show the time; identifying several zoo animals; correctly stating the date, day of the week etc- and he never stops bragging about it like he passed a post graduate exam

This is far and away the best take on this ridiculous "compact" for higher ed and a must read.

Siva @sivav.bsky.social · 1d

The “compact” for higher ed is an unserious document written by unserious people from a position of spectacular ignorance. No one should take it seriously. Sadly, my bosses are taking it seriously.

So...now it's not just gestational ingestion of Tylenol by the mother, give a baby Tylenol and they become autistic? Does this effect continue thru life?

I have lost the thread on deportations- are they flying people out- to where? Are people getting their due process hearings? Did the hairdresser from Miami get out of El Salvador? What's been enjoined by the courts? What's the status of contempt proceedings?

And it is demoralizing - that's all they do now- show up and attack and lie, and the senators are powerless, and there are no consequences

In reading a discourse on fascism, it was noted that the public lying and arrogance takes on a new role- demoralizing the opposition by showing they can act this way with no consequences. It becomes a deliberate exercise to demonstrate their power.

Miller is becoming the most dangerous person in the regime. This is insane rhetoric, akin to the worst in Nazi Germany as they went after communists, socialists, Jews and all the others. This man desperately wants to get to his end game- arresting, imprisoning, killing anyone who opposes the regime
