Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered, yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict the more glorious the triumph.

After having to deal with taking annexation of Canada and Greenland as serious propositions, I fully expect Puerto Rico and DC to be states by 2030.

It’s understated how much the obsession with wealth comes from a realization of how much it sucks working relentlessly for just a modest living.
need to make everyone in San Francisco watch this video every morning and every night

Flying the flag upside down makes it look like you’re indulging in the distress of America and not just signifying it. It’s why the image of that never goes well for people who insist upon doing it.

Even prior to the revolution, the extent to which the planter class speculated in illegal western lands was a huge source of wealth. Imagine making a polymarket bet that Canada gets annexed and writing up a bullshit land title claiming all the land in Ontario, then selling that to tenant farmers.
"the elite of the antebellum South were degenerate gamblers who financed their lifestyles with industrialized rape and would kill you for pointing this out" is a straightforwardly accurate statement

Twitter is a pox on political ideology. It accelerates self-destruction. Kind of a blessing that the right has insisted on possessing the monkey paw.
One reason I keep saying that Trump's departure won't end our fascism problem is that every Republican presidential aspirant (even those who 10 years ago were "normal") are talking like twitter nazis now
The Rubio speech really is appalling, and if you haven’t read it yet, you should.

In 1854, after watching the federal government deploy 2000 federal troops and spend $40,000 sending Anthony Burns back into slavery, Boston's Amos Adams Lawrence said “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.”
Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

One of the more powerful things about this image is how the flag is right side up.

I agree with this, good luck getting rural America to mass mobilize to get / renew their passports.
The funny thing about the MAGA voter ID crusade is...are they SURE they want to do that? Increase the hurdles to advantage the most motivated? Because I assure you, Democratic voters will jump through any hoop you put in front of them to get a ballot cast. Can MAGA say the same of its voters?

evidently, the pdf links that the DOJ put up can be used to identify corresponding video. Most of the stuff being uncovered is pretty random, but some of the stuff is gross. Reddit has been dissecting this stuff for the last couple days.

BTC and #$TSLA are just two turds in a bowl. Just flush them both down already. It’s embarassing to financial markets to have both of these be anything other than zero. The thesis for both requires either clinical delusion or complicity in fraud.

Invoking wealthy class solidarity to excuse sex crimes against children is sorta the Epstein Class in a nutshell
Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

Re: the El Paso closure, some drama queen on Fox News was hyping it up as some sort of clandestine anti-cartel operation and that the govt was trying to prevent the next Pearl Harbor, turns out it was just DHS.

All those “Liberalism is a Mental Disease” bumper stickers were yet another projection
I called up one of the White House "special government employees" linked to the Fulton County ballot seizure.
I ended up on the phone for nearly two hours.

Look up Kirk’s ‘Young Women’s Leadership Summit’
Kirk denigrating women who build themselves up first and have children in their 30s, despite his wife being a product of that precise mindset, is right up there with Vance defending anti-Indian racists despite his wife and children being Indian.

I remember when John Boehner used to cry at the most banal shit. Same with Glenn Beck. These people leverage a semblance of humanity strictly for political gain.

probably the best parallel I’ve seen on this demonstrating the stupidity of Burgum’s suggestion.
When we eat, we emit shit. Plants need shit to survive and grow. They thrive with more shit. So the whole endangerment thing opens up an opportunity for the revival of clean, beautiful open sewers.
Burgum: "CO2 was never a pollutant. When we breathe, we emit CO2. Plants need CO2 to survive and grow. They thrive with more CO2. So the whole endangerment thing opens up an opportunity for the revival of clean, beautiful, American coal."

Call me crazy but trumpism just seems like the cresting wave of the tea party / obama reactionary movement. This has been like a 15 year process and I suspect this thing is at the supernova stage. The era of rightward shifting politics just doesn’t have any more room.
