You also need to factor in how supine the public were. Trumputin is going to blow your economy up, then he’ll say you need a strong man, and that Jews are at fault. The rest is history…

A lot of this country’s problems boil down to straight white men who see themselves as some sort of default “normal” but any variation on that as “an identity” that is “political”

I received this email from the SSA as well. It is a complete lie. Social Security income is still taxed — the Big, Ugly Bill did NOTHING to change that.

Welcome to 1984, folks.

I wish I could give this a thousand likes! Read the whole thread!
My mom and stepdad are from the same diaspora group as Zohran Mamdani’s dad (same like “my stepdad was kicked out of the same town and knows some of his classmates”) and apparently the New York Times doesn’t understand how diaspora works, so I am going to tell you a little about my mom’s people!

Well, since we're all gonna die, I am going to England for two weeks and booking day trips with a total "eat, drink, and be merry" attitude. Nottingham, Warwick Castle, and Bletchley Park on the itinerary so far.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

America sold its birthright for less than a "mess of pottage."

Absolutely shameful.

If you have ever read Holocaust survivors' stories, you will recognize this behavior. Concentration camp guards didn't immediately kill people. They got their jollies out of humiliation and torture first.
We're going to need Nuremberg trials when this is over, yes, and to send a significant number of people currently in the federal government to prison. But we're going to need an unwavering commitment to ostracizing the supporters of it, as well. Never accept them again in polite society.
“In Cell 15, Plaintiff Abrego Garcia and 20 other Salvadorans were forced to kneel from approximately 9:00 PM to 6:00 AM, with guards striking anyone who fell from exhaustion. During this time, Plaintiff Abrego Garcia was denied bathroom access and soiled himself…”

Among other things, I'm just so pissed that a country that once made winning WWII its whole personality is now building concentration camps

Internment camps are concentration camps.
This administration is grossly immoral in every way imaginable.
Laughing in front of cages designed to hold migrants and refugees, many of whom came to this country fleeing extreme violence and poverty, and hoping to raise their children in a more compassionate country. And many of whom followed all the legal procedures to enter the country.

It's all about priorities. Education, health care, and human flourishing or death, destruction, and oppression?
There's always cash for bombs and concentration camps, apparently.

If you still call yourself a Republican, examine your priorities, please.
If it took 8 days to build a massive concentration camp in Florida then it means they could build and house the homeless at any point but choose not to

The White House has ordered the US Dept. of Justice to prioritize denaturalization: voiding the citizenship of US citizens.

Who will it denaturalize? "Any" case that it "determines to be sufficiently important".

Point 10 leaves the criteria opaque and arbitrary.

If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

One of the oldest forms of religious hypocrisy is people using God to justify the kind of actions against others that they themselves would cry out to God in agony if those same actions were carried out against them.

The nation is crumbling, but I am consoling myself by grocery shopping.
$97 and I can feed 6 people all week (with plenty to share if you want to stop by).
All that research on WWII homefront has layers of useful information.

I think this is what American brownshirt activity will look like. Not a literal paramilitary force, but a heavily armed constituency that's been emboldened to kill.
reports are that someone dressed as a cop and in a vehicle that looked like an unmarked cop vehicle has shot at the homes of Minnesota Democratic state legislators, three shot, all severely injured

expect more partisan assassination attempts in the coming months
