When they start talking about how Anti-Fascism has been a “problem”since Weimar Germany that tells you everything you need to know.

These assholes are your neighbors, your little league coaches and they are definitely sitting next to you in church.

This isn’t a them problem. It’s an us problem now.

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

Turns out the files on her desk were bootleg opo research on anyone who would ask her about the Epstein Files.

This is all mapped and calculated. It is a concerted effort to “wear down” and discredit the “opposition” into oblivion.

This is Anti-American. Our country was founded on dissent and a balance that encourages dialogue, conversation and collaboration of differing views.

"Crashed out" Bondi interview. Photos revealed she had notes, and her attacks were in point form. She responded to Republican questions but addressed Democratic questions with attacks, yelleing and talking over them and demanding they apologize to Donald Trump.

Well… When ya put it like that.

At least On Tyranny doesn’t read like a Buzzfeed countdown. Right?

Jess Piper @piperformissouri.bsky.social · 2d

Yeah, but my history book didn’t tell me that Taylor would drop a new album and sell merch at Target while kids are zip-tied together in Chicago and the Army is sent to Portland and coffee is unaffordable to the masses and I would still need to make supper every night…

Does it employ innocuous language to describe egregious goings on? IE “ICE representatives have been canvassing neighborhoods of interest, in order to gather naturalization metrics and statistics.”

Pay attention to the lemons we are being sold here because they are too rotten to make lemonade.

Seth Abramson @sethabramson.bsky.social · 2d

The subhed here is a master class in corporate journalism rewarding malfeasance via semantics

Bondi didn't valiantly fend something off, she refused to answer legitimate questions before Congress because the answers would be horrifying and politically inconvenient

And that's a profile in cowardice

"This is supposed to be an oversight hearing" -- Schiff helpfully ticks through all of the incriminating questions -- and there are many of them -- that Bondi refused to answer during today's hearing

My sister asked me if I ever get tired of writing about politics.

"No. Because I write about freedom. That's the lens I see it through...and I am more inspired each day...than I was the day before. I find politics boring. Freedom...is endelessly invigorating."

Maybe?

I’m guessing you’re not in America or living through it? (Apologies if that’s an incorrect assumption.)

Outrage also only goes so far without a means for action. At a certain point you still have to do your day, go to work and gas the car. Even if you’re in shock at your surroundings.
