For this administration, bomb threats at heavily Democratic polling places are a feature, not a bug.
I think Cheney and Netanyahu, like Trump and Miller, do not value non white lives.
They are unabashed racists and do not see the beauty and humanity of the people they seek to oppress; Iraqi, Palestinian or Latino.
Where others see people with hopes and dreams, they use labels like “parasites.”

Multiple senior Trump officials are moving onto military bases.

That’s not normal behavior. So ask yourself, is it really about their safety, or is the stage being set for something bigger?
Agreed. I also think McConnell is right up there with Cheney.
Teen Vogue did not step fully into its power until it was led by a Black woman, a transformation that made it worthy of the young women it was designed to serve.
I am sorry cowards who fear that power have dimmed that light.
Your talents have mediocre people shaking in their boots.
Keep going!

When I read the full transcript of the interview, I realized there had been no pushback, no corrections, no challenging follow-ups. The entire interview had been an open-ended opportunity for Trump to tell rambling lies, only to have them cleaned up into a more polished product.

Teen Vogue rising after the 2016 election and dying after the 2024 election doesn't even feel like a metaphor as much as a microcosm of what is happening all over places that were once strong areas of resistance.

Obama: As for the president, he has been focused on critical issues like paving over the rose garden so folks don't get mud on their shoes and gold plating the Oval Office and building a ballroom… If you can't visit a doctor, don't worry. He will save you a dance.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

FACT: In July, Marsha Blackburn voted for the largest cut to SNAP in the history of the program.

Now, 700,000 TN children, seniors & people w/ disabilities are going to miss meals and she’s pretending to care b/c she’s running for Governor.

She thinks your too dumb to remember

The current homepage of USDA. This is deeply and profoundly fucked up. And illegal. People need to go to jail.

Do they typically award Nobel Peace prizes to someone who murders people every day by blowing up their boats while claiming they deserved it for transporting drugs, but doesn’t give them due process, a fair trial, or present any evidence or proof of guilt to anyone?

I get it: it’s terrifying to admit what’s happening right now.

No one wants to believe their nation is falling into authoritarianism, that the norms they relied on in the past are no longer givens, that the can’t-happen-heres are actually happening here.

In Portland, Oregon, masked ICE GOONS abducted and vanished US citizen Gonzalo Catalan last week. Tragically, his family remains unaware of his whereabouts and has not received any communication from him as of today.
LET THEM EAT CAKE.

SNAP benefits will halt for millions of American families on November 1st, but the $300 million (and counting) ballroom will continue to move forward.

Make it make sense.

P.S. Millions of Trump voters rely on SNAP.
