It's tempting to treat "the American right is a death cult" as rhetorical hyperbole, but when you look at e.g. their enthusiasm for executing people who are *clearly* innocent, no actually these people really do just worship and revel in death and murder

It's clear that when the US wants a ceasefire deal, one miraculously occurs. Makes the "working tirelessly for a ceasefire" stuff from last year even more disgusting.

No protest from 6am to 9am in the Broadview free speech zone.

Just here with a handful of press waiting to see if we can catch the Texas National Guard arriving in Broadview tonight.

These shitbirds like to falsely accuse doctors of giving vaccines just to make money. If that were the case they’d be overjoyed by this giving MMR as three separate shots right?

THEY ARE NOT OVERJOYED.

Among other things, this idiotic idea will add to the strain on the U.S. healthcare system.

Acting CDC boss wants to break up MMR vaccine into three shots

Jim O’Neill joins President Donald Trump’s call for three distinct measles, mumps and rubella shots, claiming a separation would ‘reduce the risk of side effects’ and ‘maximize parental choice’

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

We are in Week 2 of a government shutdown and Week Too Many of randomized terror in our neighborhoods, and I am fucking begging Democrats to connect the dots and take a little agency in shaping the national narrative on living in fascism.

Bridging my current life in Chicago and my past life in D.C., I argue today at @newrepublic.com that Democrats should ~never~ vote to fund this government. Make John Thune blow up Senate rules and Republicans wholly own the U.S. extra-military military doing war crimes against us, funded by us.

The Case for the Forever Shutdown

Senate Democrats actually allowing the GOP to stop funding the government is only the first step. Now they have to make the case that Trump’s government is illegitimate.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio insisted “no one has died” as a result of U.S. foreign aid cuts. In Myanmar, the grieving father of a 2-year-old boy who died after their food rations were cut calls such claims a lie.
