He was fully this crazy in round 1; he just didn't have the right people with him that time. He's got them this time. While he still has a slew of unqualified idiots on his staff, there are enough with their eyes on the prize to make round 2 much more dangerous to the future of the USA.
Beat me by moments! We, too, have the tortilla blankie.

Friends — these are terrible times, to be sure. But I believe we will triumph. Here’s why.

'The "uncle" who Frodo said got rich by adventuring with Dwarves is actually a distant cousin, he clarified on Monday.' - Lobelia Sackville-Baggins, The Shire Post
"Dad's cousin" is also his *own* cousin. So the "gotcha" should say "Aunt was actually his 1st cousin once removed" (or whatever). Trying to make it seem more distant by putting the dad in there just emphasizes the bullshittery of this article.

SNAP is not the reason your taxes are high.

SNAP recipients don’t need to “just go get a job”.

Most of them work. The rest are disabled, elderly, children or caregivers.

People need & deserve assistance

Your taxes fund wars and tax cuts for the ultra rich

Be mad about that

If a democratic Speaker had refused to call the House into session for OVER A MONTH there would be wall to wall coverage on all networks.

This whole article is garbage. Not least, he calls Kira Nerys a "terrorist" which shows some real lack of understanding of the setting of DS9, but what do we know, Lina? We probably aren't real because only "5 to 10 percent" of Star Trek viewers are female after all.
The whole article bad. Ideas asserted as "truth" like: only "5 to 10 percent of Star Trek’s audience is female"; and this doozy, "Pick any major...issue, and you’ll usually find polling that shows the vast majority of men hold the same positions as America’s Republican president".
I've never seen a major construction project move so fast. There should be environmental impact studies, historical/architectural studies and reports.Engineering and architectural plans take time to draw and review: no one should be able to be demolishing part of a historic building within 9 months.

Gorgeous day in gorgeous Reno with peaceful Americans standing up.
Five years ago I went on a 15-day cruise to Hawaii and read the first 11 Vlad Taltos books. (I am a pretty fast reader, but even I'm not sure quite how I managed it. We did do stuff on the ship and in Hawaii!)
I appreciate this reminder. It's so easy to feel cynical and defeated when there's an abomination a day.
Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

Only one thing could top the honor of speaking at the No Kings rally, and that's the honor of speaking at No Kings 2. See you October 18th!

“No, Speaker Johnson — the No Kings rally on October 18 is not a hate America rally. In fact, it’s quite the contrary: It’s a love America rally.” #NoKings

This is not a border crossing.
There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

Chicago, IL.

ICE smashes into a random car, jumps out with automatic weapons drawn, abducts the victim after dragging her violently out of her car.

Greta Thunberg provides the perspective that most western media will not:

It’s not about a few hundred foreign nationals being mistreated by Israel for a few days.

It’s about the #GazaGenocide, deliberate denial of aid, and Israel’s flagrant breaches of international law.
Greta Thunberg speaks to the press after being released from illegal detainment in Israel: "I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me, but that is not the story.”
