Dear Media: people who vote for Donald Trump, especially after Jan 6, do not actually care about “following our nation’s laws.”
They’re just authoritarians.
Laws are to be used on the people they don’t like. History backs this up pretty hard.
Hope this clears things up a bit.

I have seen the video of ICE’s latest shooting. It is sickening. It was an execution. The Trump Administration will undoubtedly concoct a story to justify their crimes. Do not believe them.

The Negative Teens sounds like a cool band name but it’s also our air temperature in the Twin Cities (without wind factored in) for the next 48 hours or so.

Counterpoint: Robert E. Lee was a treasonous loser who gladly slaughtered his fellow Americans in defense of slavery while being a mildly above average military tactician.
He should’ve been hanged in Lexington.

The fact that a term such as “reverse discrimination” exists is an admission that gives away the whole game: Even they are defining the normal discrimination as being against people who aren’t white and straight.

The current budget bill is an atrocity and out-of-touch leaders like Chuck Schumer laid the groundwork by voting for the CR.

Springsteen's "Born in the USA" album, all about factories closing, came out in 1984, closer to the end of WWII than to today.
The time we've been lamenting the end of the postwar dream of middle-class men making a living working in factories has now lasted longer than that brief dream ever did.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

It’s strange to hear our government cite the English Court of Chancery as a reason why one judge shouldn’t be able to issue a nationwide injunction. America has no king, we fixed that a long time ago.
