Once American democracy made it possible for a Black man to be elected president, American conservatives decided that it had to be destroyed

While Vought traces the “leftwing revolution” back a hundred years, to the progressive era, there is no question that the election of Barack Obama was a radicalizing moment for him and many key thinkers on the radical Right - as were the multiracial protests in the summer of 2020.

What do I know and I'm not saying it's a magic bullet or anything like that but it sure seems to me that Dems should run hard on the Argentina bailout. Not anywhere near the worst thing Trump has done, but i suspect it's unusually clarifying.

Jeffries: "It's perplexing to us that Rs refuse to spend a dime to protect the healthcare of the American people, but somehow the Trump admin found $40b to bail out a right-wing wannabe dictator in Argentina in ways that are also going to continue to hurt our soybean farmers in Iowa & the Midwest"

Feels quaint, almost cliché, to say this about a Trump action, but just for the record:

This is all illegal, the President can't simply disregard the laws passed and agencies created by Congress, and both Vought & Trump would be impeached if the Constitution or the rule of law mattered to the GOP.

There's literally no reason for Congress to exist if any random freak in the presidential orbit can nullify laws and seize federal funds. All of this is plainly illegal, but Mike Johnson leads the most corrupt Congress in US history (and by a wide margin.)

I seriously don’t understand these people. WTF is wrong with her with the agree to disagree rah rah bullshit?! We just want to be left alone to live our lives. Rowling and her ilk need to pound sound. Girl, this timeline is so stupid and broken! I don’t know how we fix it. Just ugh…

Geez, the video is so much worse than just reading the interview. Yeah, fuck Keira Knightley.

The thing that gets me about actors responding like this whenever they’re asking about JKR is that they always say “we need to learn to agree to disagree ^_^” as if trans people are the ones leading the campaign, when we’re just trying to live our lives while JKR posts about trans hate 24/7

I get that there are things I’m more attuned to because I’m trans; I live in the US, so I ask seriously: is it possible to live in the UK and actually NOT be aware of JK’s stance? And not just her opinion but not be aware that she’s actively working to eradicate trans people’s rights?

While Trump plays trade war like he’s holding all the cards, our executives are coming back from China terrified.

They’re walking through “dark factories” where robots run the show so efficiently the lights don’t even need to be on.

One exec saw a plant pumping out phones with zero human workers.

Trump's mechanism to pay the troops during the shutdown is by far the most illegal budgetary action he's taken as POTUS, potentially setting the stage to break everything.

It's also needless because Congress would easily pass a troop pay bill if Johnson were willing to gavel in.

Long thread.

I like several songs on TLOAS, but there is so much of it that is tone deaf and off putting, I don’t know what she was thinking! Midnights is my favorite album and to me WishList is such a slap in the face to what that album represents, I just can’t even…ugh!! WTF is going on with Tay?! 😢🤦‍♀️🤬

Ah, gotcha. Thanks for the clarification! 👍 Whatever’s going on with her, it’s terrible if Patel and Co. are celebrating it. Just ugh to that article!! 🤦‍♀️🤮

A post has been going around about signage inspo for the upcoming No Kings protest and there isn’t a word on it re trans rights. This is the kind of thing that makes it feel as if trans people are utterly on our own. Where is the outrage? Where is the recognition of what is happening to us?

Take their masks off?! TAKE THEIR MASKS OFF?! Abolish the whole rotten Gestapo, Eric!! 🤬🤬 Why is it so hard for Dems to find their fucking balls!! 🤦‍♀️🤬🤬

This is good: Rep Eric Swalwell tells me House Dems are now discussing making an end to mask-wearing a precondition for ICE funding.

"When we are in the majority, the masks are coming off," he says.

This is the next frontier in anti-Trump resistance.

It’s fun how the Neo liberals are openly saying they don’t plan on defunding the Gestapo. They’re just going to to ask them to stop wearing masks nicely and that’s it. The national level Democratic Party is completely unwilling to do what is going to be needed to regain democracy.

Shorter Mike Johnson:

Beating up a woman isn’t “really serious.”

Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

There’s a common feeling across the U.S. right now, a sense of helplessness. Many people want to do more but feel like they can’t. Remember: every action you take pushes the resistance forward.
