“Republicans are over here being straight-up mercenaries,” @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social told The Atlantic. “Democrats give everybody Fridays off and talk about work-life balance.” She apologized for yelling into the phone. Democrats “are not built for when the fascists come,” she concluded.

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.

Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

US Central Command’s (CENTCOM) withdrawal from key bases in Syria illustrates that the United States is gradually shifting its counter-Islamic State in Iraq and al Sham (ISIS) framework to engage with the Syrian government rather than the SDF. (1/7)

By loudly pushing to nationalize elections, Trump is “already laying the groundwork for claiming that every Republican loss is a fraud and needs to be overturned — or, if nothing else, just cause massive civil disruption,” Michelle Cottle says on “The Opinions.”

Since Lindsey Graham is now on the "we should own Greenland" side, go back and read @saletan.bsky.social's meticulous documentation of how Lindsey Graham's notion of getting Trump to support sane foreign policy failed and corrupted only himself: lnk.thebulwark.com/4pR7K6l
The Corruption of Lindsey Graham
A case study in the rise of authoritarianism. Sen. Lindsey Graham is a central player in the Republican party’s capitulation to Donald Trump. We can watch the GOP's turn to authoritarianism by reviewing Graham's many public statements.
