He is, as much as Trump, just the sort of cookie cutter villain you would find in an 80's chiodren movie.
He would hunt the alien, Bigfoot, or magical gnome the children befriend. He would bulldoze the summer camp, the community center, and the playground.
He would marry the MILF to steal land.

Measles was effectively eradicated in the US in the year 2000. Then, in January 2025, infections began to rise again.

Hmm, what else returned in January 2025...? 🤔

Legitimately a feat of carefully calculated writing to issue a Holocaust Remembrance Day statement of this length without mentioning either (1) the people who perpetrated the Holocaust or (2) the people against whom they perpetrated it

Who is that internet nerd who said, "and you needed me to tell you that, then I am glad I told you that."
We need everyone we can get in this fight against a fascist takeover.

If your first instinct to someone being politically mobilized by all this is to give them a sneering "well, what took you so long?" you don't actually care about our winning this; you just want to be able to say you were right.

What's happening in Minnesota is one reason the Reconstruction Amendments banned insurrectionists from holding office. Unfortunately, the originalists on the Supreme Court interpreted the plain language of the amendment to mean its opposite.

This is not the advertisement he thinks it is.
Mike Johnson: "I was the product of an unplanned teen pregnancy exactly one year before Roe. A lot of people tried to convince my very young parents that they should just take care of that problem. But I am eternally grateful that they allowed me the chance at life."

If you have read even a single history of fascism, you are already aware that one thing that its rise has in common in every case is an opposition party that refuses to intervene for fear of looking weak or putting the left into power

I wish that Democratic messaging was less "Trump is bad, Trump is causing all this" and pivot to criticizing the bad right-wing policies getting pushed.
Cause Trump will be dead one day, and all of this bad stuff will go on with the various Nazis that are not fat old hedonistic dullards.
Yep.
Trump was always s**t on policy.
He's simply not interested.
"When it comes time to produce something vaguely resembling a policy blueprint, Trump steps aside & the right-wing ideologues who surround him take over. His only job is to record a brief video, try to stay awake through a White House event on the subject, & then go back to not talking about it."

Mafia goon: Nice house you got here...it'd be a shame if something happened to it

Media outlets: Mafia goon rules out use of force. Expresses regret at the mere thought of it

To be fair they are too ignorant to recognize the historical resonance.
There's no better way to observe MLK Day than to go on the news and insist that the civil rights protesters objecting to police brutality are actually "paid agitators"
Rep. Byron Donalds: "These agitators -- who by the way are paid, folks. America, they are paid to do this kind of mess."

This is Dulce Consuelo Diaz Morales

She is 22 years old and has a U.S. birth certificate

ICE detained her for -25 days- and now is being forced to wear an ankle monitor by ICE because they question her citizenship status

And as we all know, capitulation to stupid demands results in no additional stupid demands.
WELKER: Is Greenland or NATO more vital to natl security?

BESSENT: That's obviously a false choice

W: Not to European leaders

B: They will come around & understand they need to be under the US security umbrella. What would happen in Ukraine if the US pulled support? The whole thing would collapse

Dems need to stop acting like what ICE is doing is an accident, or a failure of policy, or a tactic of distraction.

It's the policy. And that's fucking terrifying, because it means that there's no negotiating with it, no ameliorating it.

There's only defeating it, or being defeated by it.

The deck is stacked in about 10 different ways to give extra power and money to rural areas, but it's never enough. Right wing propaganda continues to tell them they are out upon victims powerless against the mighty cities.
Stage 5 pundit-brain is watching an innocent woman being killed by agents of the state and going, "hmm this says a lot about the urban-rural divide in America."

What does he think "mutual respect" means?
Trump: “It was my Great Honor to meet María Corina Machado, of Venezuela, today. She is a wonderful woman who has been through so much. María presented me with her Nobel Peace Prize for the work I have done. Such a wonderful gesture of mutual respect. Thank you María!”

A barely altered play on "Which Way Western Man?" a foundational white nationalist text arguing Jews, racial mixing & equality are destroying society. DHS prev tweeted in August. It required no interpretation, but the media's role was to pretend it was a Rorschach test and help surface WH denials.
“Which way, Greenland man?”

Elon Musk: "I'm a free speech absolutist!"

Also Elon Musk: "Anyone who teaches students that America was built on stolen land is guilty of treason and should be imprisoned."

Look, some of us tried to warn people that Elon Musk doesn't care one bit about free speech. But did anyone listen?

X says Grok account will stop undressing women. I just tested the standalone Grok app, which immediately complied with my request to undress a photo of me. This is illegal, according to the legal experts I spoke with.

The interpretations are (1) thuggish and very stupid ICE agents stole the phone and tried to sell it or (2) thuggish ICE agents kidnapped and brutalized the kid and threw his phone out the window or dumped it in the gutter, laughing, and someone else found it and tried to sell it.
Yes, immigration agents not only took Arnoldo's phone, the 10th grader had to use Find My Phone to locate it — in a vending machine for used electronics, close to an ICE detention center.
