Great quote. Also this one: "The question of ‘how did we get here’ is an earnest one. The exhaustion comes when white questioners refuse to listen to the people who have already lived under the boot of authoritarianism."

It’s a shame that cute otters inadvertently got associated with that hot bag of garbage.

This! A thousand times this.

All the shutdowns I can remember since the 1980s happened under a Republican congress. But now they hold all three branches, and if they didn't want a shutdown, there wouldn't be one. Shutting the government is just another part of their plan to destroy our government altogether.

Every question any reporter asks about the government shutdown should include, “Is it true the government is shutdown so Congress can’t vote on the release of the #EpsteinFiles?”

Apple caved to the Trump DOJ and removed the anti-ICE apps from its App Store. Cowardice.

Many are getting an introduction to what it's like to be Black in America. We've dealt with this for more than 400 years; and because of that, we are very resilient.

Unfortunately, White allies are getting a bite of the shyt sandwich we had to eat for years.

No one is safe in Trump's America.

And yet they ignore the 5
prohibited acts involving the U.S. flag include: displaying it with the union down, allowing it to touch anything beneath it, using it for decoration or advertising, placing anything on it, and using it as wearing apparel or drapery

Apple has removed an ICE tracking app that allows users to report ICE activity nearby from its App Store.

The removal came after a direct demand from Trump’s DOJ.

Once again, Big Tech is bending the knee to our tyrant-in-chief to protect its bottom line.

Honestly I'm tired of unnamed lawyers being upset that their firms capitulated, federal prosecutors concerned about the politicization of DOJ, and reporters dismayed that their media owners are capitulating to Trump.

Either do something or accept that you watched democracy collapse and did nothing.

NEW from me:

Several CBS News staffers and insiders told me that the network "is not a good place now" amid the imminent arrival of Bari Weiss as editor-in-chief, who one source likened to Michael Scott of The Office based on her lack of qualifications.

www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

CBS News staffers are ‘literally freaking out’ about Bari Weiss taking over newsroom

EXCLUSIVE: ‘People are using words like depressing and doomsday – feels like some sort of doomsday,’ one source told The Independent about the mood inside CBS News right now.
