I'm okay bc I have two or three decades until Monday

Anyway, I wonder how the USG folks involved with the boat strikes feel about POTUS suggesting that autopen pardons are invalid...

I trust maga about as much as I trust the soviet party

not making as much money as I imagined off my morse code internet

should be able to install Steam games into my remaining google drive space

googling "what was that movie I recommended to my friend no not that one or that one no the french one no not that one"

but trump represents the will of the wealthy, so it doesn't matter that most americans despise him

imagine thinking this is your savior

markets are just fascist vibes that love the crushing of regular americans

RFK Jr. is a menace to public health and the health of American kids.

JUST IN: Judge Boasberg gives Trump admin one week to file affidavits from all officials involved in decision to carry out Alien Enemies Act deportation to El Salvador despite Boasberg's order to turn the planes around. 'Contempt prosecution' could follow www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

what's interesting to me is why so many refuse to face why trump is so powerful despite having a distinct minority of support: a fascist ruling class that controls corporations, the government, the media

Also, if the BBC is right about the timeline of Lakanwal's life, then the CIA used him as a child soldier.

going to be hard for his party to claim it wins future elections

I’m not saying anything particularly smart or new here: A press that runs on sensationalism is just a rolled out red carpet waiting for any fascist weirdo who prints money for “both sides” by saying and doing crazy things all day.

there's no way to explain our politics without the media being overwhelmingly complicit

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

so the next president can say that any document signed by trump is terminated. fixes a lot very quickly

glad that's settled

i think what gets me the most about stephen miller's "it's not just one of them, it's all of them" is that he is the perfect example of 'it's not all of them, it's just one of them'

@chadbourn.bsky.social hard to tell if this is real or mad conspiracy stuff but right after Rahmanullah Lakanwal was named as the Washington shooter there was a huge spike in Google searches for his name. No problem. But a few hours *before* the shooting there was 36% of that peak traffic. Weird!

In the very early hours of the morning of November 26th, there was a sudden spike in searches for the shooters name. In the DC area. (Prior to the shooting).

violence is as american as apple pie

St. Paul police brutally assault locals defending their neighbors from ICE, then absurdly accuse the locals of being "professional agitators." "We are not your adversary. We are your police." They support ICE with violence, just as they murder with impunity. They are, in fact, our adversaries.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

"'The thing that was hitting me so hard, it was my education,' Lopez Belloza, who is the first in her family to go to college, said... She and her father also had a special shared aspiration. With her business degree, Lopez Belloza was going to help her father open his own tailor shop, they hoped."

Declaring “no quarter” is a war crime. Even assuming an armed conflict exists.

Beyond depraved: "Hours after her detainment, court documents obtained by ABC News show that a federal judge ordered the government not to remove the 19-year-old from the U.S. and not to transfer her outside of Massachusetts. But Lopez Belloza was deported to Honduras the next day."

“Black Friday,” Stephen miller yells, getting redder and redder, “will be replaced with White Friday.”

The guy shot two random people with a gun, I don't think you can say he wasn't assimilating into our culture

this week in make it make sense, the @chicagoreader.com’s weekly news roundup: 1/ ✊ the remaining residents of the south shore apartment building raided by feds in september are unionizing to demand immediate repairs and move-out assistance. (via @djbyrnes1.bsky.social)

the cia afghani who killed the national guardsmen killed *two* america killed about *200,000* ("about" bc we didn't really care to find out how many) afghani people but let's obsess over that two and how they define the evil of the people we brutalized

To replace income taxes with tariffs, you’d have to raise tariff rates to levels that would effectively eliminate international trade, and thus the tariff revenue would plummet to near zero.

I've gotten more political as I've gotten older, and I think about it a lot ... But I also have video games, and shows, and books, and making electronics, and many other things to occupy my time. Linehan doesn't talk about anything but transphobia. That's his entire brain. It's fucking weird.

The unifying aim of all Trump pronouncements and actions is to trash the constitution and impose a white supremacist militarized autocracy by EO and truth social decree - the latest attack on naturalization and birthright citizenship is an ugly new escalation of that barbaric aim.

america's powerful are hell-bent on keeping trump in power

So this is a thing you'll see a lot about immigration. The process is incredibly slow, the systems are overworked. If you have applied you will overstay before your decision is made. The system is designed such that you will be breaking the law, by their own design. This is arguably on purpose.
