America’s Achilles Hell = racism/xenophobia, misogyny, homophobia, capitalistic greed, & religious nuttery.

If u press hard enuf on some of those places individually (e.g., racism (keep playing the old hits) or unfettered capitalism) or in combination (see all), u can easily take 🇺🇸 down. See DJT.

Told people that during the run up to the election. Many wouldn’t even entertain that prospect, despite evidence.

I’m wondering what the people who didn’t vote for Harris and bcuz of Gaza and who blamed Biden are thinking/feeling now. They’ll probably double down like MAGA.

It’s ironic that the right gets defensive about Columbus Day. It's all about celebrating an illegal immigrant who took jobs from locals and brought disease, sexual assault, and murder.

Bold strategy, Cotton!

“Do you support repealing Obamacare and what's your health care plan?

@SpeakerJohnson: *attacks the ACA and says Republicans are the party of wanting to fix health care🤔 even though they have no plan, sabotaged the ACA, just cut $1 trillion from health care*

Republicans want to fix healthcare 🤔

Decoder speech and/or definitional clarity for the masses: fix = remove publicly funded healthcare altogether; fix = maximize profits for private industry & oligarchic overlands; fix = die bitch if you can’t afford it. HC is not a right.

Hope that was helpful.

Apparently, they don’t hand out a Nobel Peace Prize to those who negotiated a ceasefire they had sabotaged a year ago just to get elected.

one of my takeaways from this great piece is that weiss just doesn’t…sound like an intelligent person? or at least, not someone who has thought even a little bit about how and why they think the things that they do. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gieT...

Another good time to remind people that “tear gas” is a term of copaganda that police, the military, and its manufacturers use to obscure that it is a dangerous chemical weapon internationally banned for use even in warfare.

Trump’s threat to invoke the Insurrection Act isn’t new, but it’s getting louder and from all directions!

We had years of warnings.
He told us what he’d do. Project 2025 laid it out, but too many shrugged.

How much is “enough” for everyone to start getting loud with one voice before it’s too late?

This version is confirmed, by Hoffman Estates police, puncturing the official DHS statement.

At this point, there is a statement from DHS re 🧊 activities in the Chicago area that’s refuted in similar fashion on nearly a daily basis at a minimum over the past week

Despite what some, including at DHS, are claiming, this video isn’t from a year ago in Chicago. It was Friday in Hoffman Estates, in my district, a street I’ve walked myself. It appears to show a child being violently detained by ICE. It’s real, and I’m demanding accountability.

Do ppl realize this extended the war by a year and caused unnecessary deaths.
Netanyahu is the true villain.
Everyone knows he let the attack happen and now he extended the war. What more do you need…

I hope all of those people who stated that Biden committed genocide or is responsible for genocide sees this.
