if you're willing to sacrifice some groups for your personal safety, i'm going to assume you'll sacrifice anyone. Either we all get humanity and rights or none of us will. Because nobody is voting for another centrist Dem trying to move the party right. that shit is over.

Starbucks lost me when they got rid of their donuts and scones last year. The remaining pastries suck. Who’s running this company?

They weren’t fooling around when they closed 2 of the Starbucks on campus last week. Name gone, papered over windows. The company must be struggling if they can’t sell coffee on a college campus.
Of course there are still at least 3 left on campus…

Question: Why do pollsters screen for registered voters/likely voters on polls that have nothing to do with an election? If you notice, the polls that include all adults (A) have significantly lower approval ratings for Trump. How do other pollsters justify excluding the opinion of non-voters?

Reports on Pam Bondi's hearing are illuminating. She fully leans into the Trump approach: always attack, never apologize or offer a defense.
You would think that at least SOME Republicans would object to her complete disdain for Congress, but of course, that assumes a different GOP than we have.

Pam Bondi Hearing Goes Off The Rails When Faced With $50,000 Homan Question

The attorney general dodged questions from senators about what happened to the bag of cash involved in the FBI operation targeting Trump's border czar.

Where are all those Tea Party, anti-big government, fight tyranny types now? Amazing how quickly they embrace big government oppression when they think it benefits them.

Yup, napalm and carpet bombing and massacres of civilians like My Lai were definitely politically correct.

Trump: "The problem with Vietnam, we, you know, we stopped fighting to win. We would've won easy. We would've won Afghanistan easy. We would've won every war easy. But we got politically correct. 'Oh, let's take it easy.' We're not politically correct anymore, just so you understand."

I'm astounded how willingly the media follow Trump's playbook. They are uniformly reporting on "Trump's peace plan," rather than an "American-backed peace plan," as it would have been called in the past. Trump is neither the author nor the chief negotiator of this initiative.

Everyone is trying to have a normal Saturday night and the president's top advisor is on X announcing that civil war is necessary

@StephenM on X: Legal insurrection. The President is the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, not an Oregon judge. Portland and Oregon law enforcement, at the direction of local leaders, have refused to aid ICE officers facing relentless terrorist assault and threats to life. (There are more local law enforcement officers in Oregon than there are guns and badges in the FBI nationwide). This is an organized terrorist attack on the federal government and its officers, and the deployment of troops is an absolute necessity to defend our personnel, our laws, our government, public order and the Republic itself.

Having studied authoritarianism, protest is never too late and is in fact an affective form of resistance. You can counter their narrative of heroism and patriotism by exposing their cruelty, incompetence, and corruption.

This is deeply disturbing. This inhumane treatment is being done by our government with our tax dollars in our name. We need to protest.

I spoke to a Venezuelan woman who was arrested in this raid and later released with her 4yo son. She said agents broke down their door, pointed guns at them and made sexualized remarks about Venezuelan women. When she returned to her apartment it was boarded up and all her possessions were gone.
