I hope many have read and/seen this very seminal work.
I read this during Bush and it really changed my way of thinking and communicating about the GOP.

Every real economist in America warned at the time he was imposing tariffs that it would affect each of these things, and deportations have affected the ability of farmers to access labor. This is all happening because of one man.

These are literally white nationalist talking points.
Also, if you are an Irish American, you need to realize that they said this exact same shit about our relatives when they came to America fleeing starvation and persecution.

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

🏈 November 25, 1993: On Thanksgivin at a snowy Dallas, Texas. a 41-yard game-winning field goal attempt by Miami Dolphins’ Pete Stoyanovich was blocked. But Dallas Cowboys defender Leon Lett ran and touched the football, resulting in Miami’s re-possession and a game-winning 19-yard field goal.

Why is Trump so enraged? The Democrats clearly stated that you could disobey "illegal" orders, which is the law.
This tweet is proof that Trump knows his orders are completely & indisputably illegal.
Giving illegal orders & demanding others obey them is the real sedition!

If Dems are in “the files,” then they should be prosecuted too. I don’t give a damn how important they are, how much money they have, or what their politics are. If they are in there, PROSECUTE THEM!!
It's not complicated. All we want is equal justice. NO ONE is above the law. ⚖️

This is big: elected Republicans in a deep-red state saying NO to Trump even after his personal plea.

Indiana likely will not push forward with redistricting despite pressure from White House
It’s a massive blow to the White House’s efforts to shore up a Republican House majority next year.

One ~182km x ~211km solar thermal plant could provide all of America’s electricity, including a fully-electrified land transport sector.
100% clean power from just 0.39% of U.S land.
That’s why renewables are constantly under attack from the fossil fuel industry and their paid mouthpieces.

In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.
