Lex Luthor wanted to nuke California, and I’m pretty sure he’d still be considered a moderate Republican.
it is funny how all the fictional monsters we imagined taking over the U.S. for the last 30 years are objectively better people than the current regime. Give me Skeletor, please. Cobra Commander wants to run shit? He can hardly be worse than what we're rockin' today. It's worth a shot!

ICE just gunned down ANOTHER person, beating a man half to death before shooting him at point blank range. What the fuck are we doing?

ARREST ICE NOW. PROSECUTE ICE NOW.

I will not rest until every single one of these murderers is held accountable to the communities they terrorize.

This is nice work by Elliott. Note too that the only demographic group in which Trump has majority support is white non-college-educated respondents, and there he is just barely holding on. There is no electoral downside to opposing authoritarianism.

This must be weird news to see if you’re one of the literally hundreds or even thousands of university administrators who preemptively censored faculty, scrubbed websites, changed the names of centers, etc.

it's cool that so many people in positions of power and influence were so negatively polarized by "wokeness" that they convinced themselves that there was an actual debate about who wanted to erase history and the "wokes" were on the wrong side bsky.app/profile/arch...

This is a very scary thread, but now that everything's all right, I think it's everyone's duty to convince this person they never actually woke up.

Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket.

He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War.

Half the battle with this guy is just reiterating government can and already does good things that are so ubiquitous they’ve become invisible. He’s able to remind you in a way that you understand that good government can exist outside of a 24/7 vengeance operation, and in NYC already does.

Breaking NYT:

Trump is now claiming that one reason he's pushing to acquire Greenland is that he didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize, according to a message he sent to Norway's prime minister over the weekend.

Jonas Gahr Store, Norway's leader, received the text message on Sunday.

So basically Trump’s argument is that he only bothered talking about how much he supposedly wanted peace and performed substance-free publicity stunts to win a prize, but since that didn’t fool anyone he’s not going to bother with that charade anymore and will just invade Europe.

BLANCHE: What happened has been reviewed by millions of Americans bc it was recorded. We investigate when it's appropriate. That is not the case here. We are not going to bow to pressure. So no, we are not investigating.

It's frankly irresponsible that Senate Democrats are still doing anything to affiliate themselves with Trump's nominees.
BREAKING: Six more of Trump's lifetime judicial nominees just advanced to the Senate floor — two with bipartisan support. Why is this still happening?

The committee also advanced a US Attorney nominee who was on the Capitol grounds on January 6, 2021. nominationnotes.substack.com/p/the-senate...

LOL. That assumes Democrats in Congress disagree with the rank cowardice of their leaders.

They don't. Schumer and Jeffries are there because they speak for most Democrats who want to talk about eggs and not ICE.

It’d be great if centrist Democrats spent more time holding Trump accountable and less time copying Republican talking points to take shots at their own party.

i hate that we talk about "the union army" in the civil war. it was the army of the united states of america against an evil and illegal pro-slavery band of terrorists. the confederacy was illegitimate from top to bottom.
Hell, I would love to see a change to the curricula in public schools to teach the Civil War (accurately) as the Slaver Rebellion of 1861.
