This is a completely demented, star-raving mad villain monologue. This is so beyond not funny anymore, it is plain that Donald Trump has Imperial designs on Greenland. He is trying to be an incompetent 21st century Andrew Jackson.

Jonathan Ross, the murderer of Renee Good

It can be discouraging to realize how, despite Trump's underwater approval for his authoritarianism, STILL his approval doesn't reach a zenith, where the nation reaches self-awareness. It's a sad fact about the disunity of the modern USA. I think about 38-36% of the country is adamantly MAGA

I got the opportunity to intern at a public defenders office once. Despite the vitriol, I see more humanity in the average person accused of a crime than in any member of this regime. They are humans too. They have families. They have rights. Their lives matter.

We, the alliance of whole milk lovers, do not stan this. The White House putting this out is as bad for our beloved whole milk as the invention of 2% or worse,*shudders* skim.

Yeah so fun fact Officers of the law cannot murder you for just obstruction. This is just a declaration of willingness to commit murder.

"the excesses of wokeness" as a broad social phenomenon is one of the most made-up things that ever happened and every single time a progressive person did something obnoxious or mean or stupid it got blown up into evidence of cultural rot, down to individual college students and Goodreads bloggers

Me: "My laptop won't take a charge. I need to hold the cable at a weird angle". My nana: "Ask the virgin Mary to intercede for you". Me: " I got you Nana". Heathen problems require Catholic solutions

So today was horrible but I'm pretty confident I'm eligible for Canadian citizenship by ancestry. Once I get settled will probably look into this.

I like how the same time my phone decided it didn't want to randomly lose all battery in 0.5 seconds, my laptop charging port decided to be plainly broken. I have to play Twister with the cable and it's not freaking playing at all right now. It worked fine a couple days ago.

Welcome to the opposition Finance Bros

I think murdering someone is really dangerous and hateful.

You know the Fed has faith in its independence because Jerome Powell is willing to release a statement calling the administration's attacks out for what they are.

I needed a new charger for my laptop, and the USPS delivered it on a Sunday. This is a USPS love page. Don't let USPS haters into your life, you don't need that toxicity in your world. Nobody ever said 'fuck the Postal Service' and there is a reason for that.

A world where housing is unaffordable is a world where people are forced to stay with their abusers.

i will never get over this rebecca tiffany quote: the goal of yimbyism is a world where "every trans eighteen-year-old who is stuck living with unsupportive family [is] able to afford an apartment in a vibrant urban space with transit on a minimum wage job." www.liberalcurrents.com/feminism-wit...

This is exactly right. They haven't settled for dim brutes who blindly follow orders regardless of the law. That's what they want. That's what they got. There's no reforming or improving it now. Democrats need to investigate, defund, and ultimately disband the president's brownshirt brigade.

We live in a country where the official position is that background checks on a gun purchase is the ultimate tyranny and the state murdering a mother in cold blood is just desserts. MAGA is not a coherent ideology. It is a violent cult of personality and nothing more.

You know, pre-Trump I was iffy about how much we needed to end Billionaires. Now I'm fully sure that being a Billionaire is immoral and should be made impossible. Billionaires are a threat to Democracy. Such wealth inequality destroys the equality required for Democracy to survive.

Even if the shooting was not murder, the refusal to render medical aid, and refusal to permit medical aid to Renee Good is itself illegal. MAGA can live in whatever fucked-up fascistic fantasy dream land they want. The 14th amendment requires it.

> Be Trump > Claim you'll fix an ambiguous problem with the economy > Proceed to make it worse

So apparently the Iran protests are linked to a call by the Crown Prince of Iran's royal family in exile? I know the protesst are backed up by reasons beyond royal involvement but it's interesting. Not sure if this means there is strong support for the monarchy or just disdain for the theocracy.

I no longer believe in abolishing ICE. I now believe in abolishing DHS in its entirety, including ICE.

Q: After you told ICE to get the F out, Republicans are criticizing you for escalating tensions FREY: I'm sorry if I offered their Disney princess ears, but if we're talking about what's inflammatory, on one hand you got someone who dropped an F bomb & on other you have someone who killed someone

If abolishing ICE is 'radical' then centrism is indefensibly authoritarian. ICE must go from the highest budget it's ever had, to zero.

Five years ago today, January 6th happened. America suffered a violent, deadly insurrection. A year ago, this country betrayed itself by wrongfully electing the mastermind of that insurrection after failing to hold him accountable. Now, that tyrant celebrates the insurrection publicly.

When people go irate about student loan forgiveness I remind myself said people voted for Donald Trump to hand out cash to Oil companies and foreign governments.

If your politics create a permission structure for you to indulge all your worst impulses, your politics are bad.

Damn do I love medical policy being based on someone's crazy Uncle with zero medical knowledge that apparently just has a lot of hate in heart for America's children.

So today someone brought to my attention the existence of wedge salads. I was being overly dramatic about it, but it looks weird to me. It's a solid wedge of lettuce with bacon and tomatoes. I wish to have a hotter take: Bacon, specifically crispy bacon, is the most odious food America normalized.

I love how these are the same people who will tell you they don't want universal healthcare because they trust the private market. "Big Pharma is trying to kill us" But also "Please don't regulate Big Pharma or replace them :("

The US media's ability to spin an illegal act of war that violates both international and domestic law and is brazenly based on Imperialism by saying 'Look. Some Venezuelan expats in Miami are happy about it' is really just how they normalize everything Trump does.

hey remember when a bunch of middle-aged drunk korean lawmakers climbed the locked gates to the national assembly to hold an emergency session after the president gave illegal orders to the military, all of which ended with said president being sentenced to prison

The time has come for sanctions against the USA. The age of a hegemon are dead. My country must be punished for its crimes the same as any other.

Maybe the rogue pariah state imperialism was inside of us all along.

I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war

He's not even hiding the reason. Holy shit. Open and honest Imperialism.

Breaking news: Man who cries over not winning a peace prize so he invents his own decides to start a totally unnecessary conflict. More at 11

I now call on Denmark to just arrest Trump.

When I was little, I had a speech impediment and could not/would not read. Books legitimately terrified me. I would go on to become obsessed with reading and I have to thank Judy Blume for getting me interested.

I find people who say they don't want the government to give them a hand-out, or give them anything to help them, like universal healthcare cute. Like wow, you feel so privileged that you can decide to randomly just refuse assistance to save you money. It's cute but I'll pass.

What I find astounding is how the same people who claim to vote based on their wallet will blame Biden for Covid-related inflation that went down under his term, but can't stomach to blame Trump for economic policy failures he's accomplished all on his own in 1 year.

I have a strat for you if you're celebrating New Years with the family and don't want to stay up that late: Every year, my family gets together around the TV, pull up the ball drop on Youtube from last year, and watch that at like 9:30. Today, it is going to be 2025 in my house.

As an Attorney: Please tax me more. Balance the budget and feed the damn kids.

Bad news gang. Some celeb look alike bot says I am a celeb match for Emma Watson or a few other wildly attractive women. I unfortunately can no longer be on the hating AI train. (Yes I can) But clearly the Bots are wise and not evil, the problem is the people running them.

Good news: The United YIMBY front has successfully overtaken Connecticut, toppling the NIMBYS. The trains are all electrified and highspeed. Hartford is a shining beacon on the hill and the whole nation loves New Haven A'pizza. Mark Twain smiles from heaven. Veronica has a townhouse.

I agree with the sentiment. All pizza is good and equally second to New Haven Apizza.

A proposition: I grasp why it's easy to get aggrivated at people who defend the barbarism and senseless economic and political arrangements of America we are subjected to. I do. But some part of me has come to see the average American as a traumatized, persistently failed class.
