One of the earlier US presidents, John Tyler, had a grandson that died in 2025.

Also, Louis St-Laurent lived during the lifespan of every Canadian Prime Minister

The thing about a vote to overturn democracy is that it is fundamentally illegitimate. The moment the vote passes and democracy ends, the idea that voting confers legitimacy is repudiated, thereby robbing the vote of its legitimacy.

Last year the Secretary of Defense was a black general and now the Secretary of Defense is a washed up National Guard major who the military considered a white supremacist insider threat and said white supremacist is also an alcoholic accused of spousal abuse.

I will grant that there were always bad things. I will grant that not dealing with the bad things allowed them to get worse. But I refuse to believe everything was always *this* bad, because I remember them being relatively better.

it should be a tell about what's happening in the media now that most mainstream commentators seem openly frustrated that polling does not blame democrats for the shutdown

This might be the worst ICE video yet, because it’s literally random dudes hanging around, and then a bunch of heavily armed thugs running them down completely out of nowhere, because they’re brown. It’s a nightmare that would have seemed excessive in Jim Crow. Everyone in America should see this.

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.

Literally all they've got any more is KKK-style nativism, directed specifically at Latinos. Every single GOP message collapses back to this. They've become the Klan

Mike Johnson: "If you're a young, pregnant American citizen women who shows up in an ER and you get treated and they pay the hospital less for treating you than some illegal rabble rouser who came in from some South American country to do us harm, that is wrong."

That Trump was allowed to return to civilian life as if he had nothing to do with January 6th is really when the constitutional crisis began.

The fact that they can't get a random sampling of citizens from any city to indict people for interfering with ICE seems more informative than any political poll, tbh

In case anyone was interested: Fairbanks ousted is GOP mayor last night in favour of a Democrat.

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."

This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

The only reason I haven’t 100% this game on steam is I only choose NCR endings when I play. There’s something special about eradicating slavers and corporate fascists like House.

Also the independent Vegas outcome is totally unsustainable as a nation state
