There is no greater single imperative right now than removing Donald J. Trump as President of the United States. He is the clearest, most immediate, and most powerful danger to our biosphere, our health, our welfare, our safety, our privacy, our lives, and our freedom in the world today.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

This is like, punching behavior. You get punched in the head if you aggressively talk over someone like this. The Lawler guy… look, I don’t like fights per se, but some motherfuckers have to be knocked in the head occasionally to remind them how to act right.

FBI fires special agents who worked on Jack Smith's probe into Trump

The three agents were fired after Kash Patel disclosed that Jack Smith's team obtained phone records of members of Congress, which the Smith report itself referenced.

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

Fascism isn’t just a government, it’s a national posture where all facets of life, from business to media, work to advance the larger project, often without direct instruction from the political authority

Ken Paxton’s plan

“How Do You Do, Fellow Kids?" is a reaction image commonly used to respond to users pretending to be part of a community that they are clearly unfamiliar with. The image features the actor Steve Buscemi dressed youthfully and holding a skateboard, and is usually subtitled with the tagline. The image is often photoshopped to adapt to a particular subculture, and the phrase is often used in conversation without the image. It’s edited to include random trans symbols including a trans Texas saying “y’all means all” and a badge that says “fuck the cis stem” and a trans hat with the hammer and sickle symbol.

Text reads: How do you do fellow transgenders

Something that stands out isn’t “big” per se, but I really do miss 2010-2014 era Facebook, where it was a convenient way to interact with friends who had moved away and follow their lives, see pictures of their kids… I’d take a retro Instagram too. Anything before Zuck wrecked both apps.

We’re not dealing with brilliant strategists cleverly laying traps, we’re dealing with impulsive whiners whose advantage is contempt for laws, norms, and morality.

They’re not pulling some elaborate trick, they’re just willing—even eager—to do things regular, principled people consider off limits.

Just openly cheering the destruction of any representation of gay people in public space. They think their power is totally unrestricted, and the entire country will support them rolling back society to the 1950s, or maybe the 1850s

This reminds me of my cat. He’s a killer – two seagulls, that I know about – and occasionally a small bird in my shoe

Total lover, but if you pet him wrong he’ll nip you, so gentle that it won’t even scratch the skin, let alone draw blood. Just a restrained reminder of, “hey, don’t pet me that way”

It's amazing that they've produced an entire party of Trumps not just in terms of the fascist politics but in the sense that almost all of these people are incapable of processing anything more complex than lines of tweets

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.
