“The alt-right label doesn’t make sense anymore because there is no longer any need to describe these views as an “alternative” to the mainstream right. Many are now the Republican Party’s stated positions.” www.vox.com/politics/470...

Seems to be a theme

Empathy is a superpower. You are able to see others through the lens of all they've carried, and help restore balance. Don't let the propaganda machine destroy it.

Without warrants or any due process, they violently remove people from their communities to detain or disappear them. It is unconstitutional, & illegal. It’s also dangerous to normalize masked men w/out IDs “arresting” someone. The President CANNOT pardon local, state or international crimes.

Dear Walmart, Consideeing you have more employees on SNAP than any other company — instead of simply having a ‘cheaper’ Thanksgiving bundle, how about giving your underpaid employees who must rely on SNAP for survival, one for free? It’s the least you can do. And I stress, the LEAST… — America

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

Eugenics

Ha, haa!

Good thread below about how Indian American republicans somehow plow thru the “surprising” racism their own party members direct at them:

oh fuck this nonsense straight into the sun

HAPPY FOUR SEASONS TOTAL LANDSCAPING DAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE

Who did this? 💀

As a reminder, Congressional Dems proposed a bill to implement independent redistricting commissions nationwide BUT every REPUBLICAN VOTED AGAINST it That's a fact

Listen to Nathan’s story, his premium for health care from the ACA is going from $28/month to $733/month all because Trump and Republicans prioritize billionaires over health care. Republicans need to work with Democrats to extend tax credits and end the #GOPHealthCareShutdown

This is how it's done

Richest country in the history of the world

I call JD Vance absurd and a couch fucker

Trump on SNAP: “Our country has to remain very liquid because of problems, catastrophes, wars… We have to remain liquid. We can’t give everything away.” REMINDER: Trump just have $40 billion away to Argentina.

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @deadder.bsky.social )

My ass. The rest of the world figured out healthcare decades ago.

UPDATE: Trump’s FBI Director Kash Patel just fired a guy he blames for outing him for taking a jet to see his girlfriend sing the national anthem at a wrestling match. ‘Veep’ had nothing on this crew. 🎪 news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/...

Not surprised

Hmm

Once again, the main day of Tea Party protests had about 300,000 nationwide, but saw endless coverage. The No Kings protests had about 7,000,000 nationwide, and many media outlets reacted with a yawn. No Kings was nearly 25x as big as the Tea Party but the Tea Party got 25x the attention.

Love to show how smart I am by bragging about my score on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment.

I have a very bad feeling about this...

Heartened by the return of one of the classic Trump bits, which is when he sways faintly and says "I'd like to see low IQ [person of color he saw on TV] try to pass the test that's regularly administered to me by medical professionals, the famous unbeatable Test To Determine Extent Of Brain Trauma,"

“He’s 70 years old!” CHICAGO — 🇺🇸 citizen gets cracked ribs and internal bleeding as Trump’s lawless thugs terrorize a neighborhood.

Fuckers

Complete disregard for human life

There is a great disturbance in the force.

Republican Scott Leinendecker is now the “sole owner of Dominion” > making the deal contingent on “dropping”remaining lawsuits against OANN & “prominent conservatives.” Leiendecker told the Caller that “remaining litigation” w/ Mike Lindell, Rudy Giuliani & Sidney Powell will also be “dropped.” 1/

Reporter: The president had initially said that this project wouldn't interfere with or touch the current structure. Leavitt: If you look at the renderings, it's very clear the east wing was going to be modernized. Reporter: But modernizing and tearing down are two different things.

Donald Trump knocked down the White House East Wing without notice and before approvals —a developer move known as ‘anticipatory demolition,’ where you tear down a building before the preservationists can intervene. His dad did it too.

there's so much happening, as kevin's thread here illustrates ... but I am just gobsmacked that he demolished a third of the white house. the heavy-handed symbolism of that alone takes us back once again to the inevitable conclusion that we live in a satirical universe written by a total hack.

idk man, if there are no rules, why is anyone paying taxes, or obeying military orders, or following the law

Murdering people

lol the Winklevoss boys pitched in to help fund the excavators

I didn't realize how simple this was, but now I see -- you just say a thing, and it becomes true. So Americans, *I* am now your absolute ruler. Pay no attention to the pretender in (2/3rds of) the White House! It is me, in my shabby little apartment uptown in New York City.

How can we let ICE take our neighbors? How can we let them brutalize grannies, grandpas & pregnant women? How can we let them ziptie little children? This Dolores Huerta video must go viral. There are atrocities being committed in our name with our taxpayer dollars! Don't be silent! Speak out!
