It’s not the tariffs though. They just decimated science in America. And, please understand that I say this with full knowledge of just how bad HHS has been gutted. NIH is now working about as well as mid tier college. They booted some big names and others have quit to go elsewhere 1/

Elgin, Illinois. ICE is placing undercover agents with folks exercising their first amendment rights.

Expect them to incite violence next.

Beware the agent provocateur.

I just cannot. Who the hell wants to live forever?!? Completely insane. My joints hurt and I know that I’ve lived a more active life than most from a young age, but it’s not like cartilage regenerates and that shit only gets worse as time goes on.

My 5 year old says you’re wrong and they would lock you in the car listening to the soundtrack, but the “new one”, which plays the songs, then the sing along, then all tracks with vocals stripped, and finally all songs with only the vocals which they claim is acapella but… over and over

We're about 3 lines deep into the "first they came for" poem.
It's not a very long poem, folks.

Yes, and it’s important to know that he in fact lived both sides and knows from lived experience how awful. He also acknowledges that 8 years of imprisonment by the Nazis taught him how important human rights are and that is what changed him and why he spent the rest of his life around that for all

When asked why he, an antisemite, stood against Hitler on that he stated that it would nullify baptism and end Christianity.

Martin Niemöller, the author, was a huge supporter of the Nazis. He voted for Hitler and was a church leader that talked up Nazism and antisemitism. Hitler had him arrested when he refused to adopt the aryan paragraph for his church and discovered he was organizing other churches against him.

The Soros hate is blood libel that Murdoch specifically started because Soros became Soros by being smarter than Murdoch and Murdoch could not stand that Soros, a Jew, outsmarted him.

If you want to point a finger at a capstone for where we’re at, Murdoch has to be in the top 3-5 contenders.

Uh. If I did a 15k ft view of American Protestantism, left of center Christians exist and have been here the whole time, would that be useful? I am having trouble gauging how much of the "Episcopalians! Who knew?" is sincere.

Look. Invading our own country is about as straightforward a case as you can have for impeachment. The GOP abandoning the Constitution is kind of the only story there is and it gets no coverage.

Guys. I just had a crazy idea. What if the President DIDN’T deploy troops in American cities. Just a thought. Have we tried that before?
