I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..”

The thing that makes me the sickest is that these folks don’t even have a shred of compassion. It’s one thing to enforce laws and rules. It’s another to do it gleefully and celebrate the suffering of someone born into poverty and desperation

The obscene face of Christian Nationalism: outlandish untaxed wealth in defiance of Jesus. Oh, and this time, slave laborers, too! Glory!

Just remember, for any money you give to Heaven, there is always a 100% handling fee here on Earth.

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE:

This statement is a clear example of what is known as “State Terrorism”: When the dictatorship will order all instruments of its state security & intelligence apparatus against its own citizens to terrorize the population.

Sanders: I am not a great fan of the affordable care act. I believe in medicare for all. I think that health care is a human right, but I will be damned if I'm going to see people in Vermont and around this country see a doubling in their premiums.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”

It’s about control.

Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick.

Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care

Textbook example of power abuse for spiteful purposes.

Rather remarkable that the Trump administration response to a government shutdown is "let's inflict as much pain as possible on as many Americans as possible"

Dean: The president is unhinged

Johnson: A lot of folks on your side are too. I don’t control him

Dean: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals.

Johnson: I didn’t see it.

Dean: Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing.

If you do one thing today, PLEASE watch this video from Threads by Charles McBryde. It defines Fascism and explains why Conservatives/The Right Wing are susceptible to the process of Fascism. And that's what it is - a process of political radicalization.

After Stephen Miller and Trump’s speech last night, I hope everyone really listens to this. Because that was the most wild “memorial” I’ve ever witnessed.

​Apparently, on the insistence of the Trump administration, Kirk has been admitted to Heaven for an unspecified probationary period. His teeth however, are still in purgatory.
