I know the Orwell quote. The admin repeatedly saying "what you saw on multiple videos is not what you saw" is still fucking shocking, every time.

There seems to be zeitgeist about how fucking misogynistic ICE–and this regime–is in general.
I have so many dozens and dozens of threads I've written about how misogyny is often the engine that feeds this nightmare of fascism.
Stop ignoring us.

How am I supposed to live in the same country with people who believe or say such things, or with people who choose such representatives?
Fundamentally incompatible. This faction of US politics has to be defeated and has to face justice for its actions.

Haven't posted a great deal about what's happening in Minnesota because I'm trying to keep in the deadline zone rather than spinning out for three days in a rage, but obviously that was murder and equally obviously our fascist government is spinning hard to pretend it was anyone's fault but theirs.

This is the proper framing.
I hate to break it to you, but heavily-armed government militias are roaming unchecked through US cities and shooting human rights observers dead in the streets. That's happening in our country.

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

This strike doesn't represent strength. It's not sound foreign policy. It puts Americans at risk in Venezuela and the region, and it sends a horrible and disturbing signal to other powerful leaders across the globe that targeting a head of state is an acceptable policy for the U.S. government.

2026 is about affordable homeownership. No more "policy" this year. Feed the local fauna, befriend them, and then use them to overpower homeowners so you can occupy their dwellings.

Our Solar System is orbiting the center of our Galaxy at about 220 km/s so in 2025 we collectively traveled something like 7 billion kilometers across the Milky Way. Once in a while, when you have a moment, it’s worthwhile to take a look around, see where you are, and appreciate how far you’ve come.

“Out of touch” isn’t it.
A president who gilds the Oval Office in gold, slaps his own name on a cultural institution, tears down the East Wing for his own vanity project, and then tells us the affordability crisis is all in our heads.
It’s not out of touch; it’s contempt for the people he governs.
