Republicans are craven liars. They think we are all stupid fools who can be gaslit by tweets like this and/or they are fascist fucks and have to justify state-funded murder of Americans bc that's what fascists do. The Republican-controlled federal govt wages war on Americans and democracy.

Trump told NYT that his power as commander in chief is constrained only by his "own morality" — brushing aside international law and other legitimate checks on his abilities.
"My own morality. My own mind. It's the only thing that can stop me."
"I don't need international law."

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Voting or not voting have exactly the same genocidal outcome. One is not better than the other — that’s the point. I’m responding to the fallacy of those who think they’re better because they didn’t vote or voted 3rd party.

Imagine pretending that letting others choose the genocide candidate for you is the morally superior stance. And where did I say I was saving myself? I’m a white cishet man, horrified at the harm done to others. I hoped to save some other more vulnerable folk.

Imagine openly admitting you fully knew you voted for genocide in the hope you could save yourself, and thinking you are better than third party voters
Or … we realized there was no viable anti-genocide candidate so we had use other criteria to decide who to vote for and there were plenty. Not voting or voting third party didn’t absolve anyone, you just let someone else choose for you who would enact the genocide.

The media continues to fail us, to downplay the seriousness of the situation, refusing to acknowledge how corrupt the cover-up of this whole episode is.
Washington Post's new headline is still wrong.
1. The release was not "huge."
2. DOJ missed the deadline to release all the files.
3, No mention of extensive redactions.

We need to talk about Lorde's comments re: incest and how this is a normalization of fascism in the culture. Fascists are obsessed with "purity", including blood purity. They're also obsessed with coercive control. Incest is abuse, Lorde, it's not your kink.
