Everyone in the DOJ/IRS involved with the "settlement" should end up behind bars.

every single person who touches this needs to go to jail.

Yikes

To answer the q in the headline it can be both

I have been lectured to my entire life that the greatest sin in politics is to look down on these cosmically ignorant fuckwits, or to hold them accountable for their decisions. We're just supposed to flatter their Illusions and dutifully repair all the shit they destroy.

Having some decomposing fascist moron call me a "traitor" to my face & just grinning like f'ing Reek from Game of Thrones is so inconceivable to me. How do you look at yourself in the mirror?

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

In 2017, Criselda Vasquez painted this portrait of her parents and titled it "The New American Gothic." Last month, her father, the man in this portrait, was abducted by ICE after being in the US for 30+ years. The family is now struggling with bills. A GoFundMe has been started: gofund.me/456d8a193

I'm willing to test this theory

One good thing that entertainment journalists covering The Odyssey can do is never to ask Nyong'o, Page, or Nolan about this. When a prominent racist and transphobe says something racist and transphobic, go make his life miserable and leave his targets alone. They have nothing to defend or explain.

The DOJ is reportedly considering dropping any audits of Trump, his family, or his businesses as part of a potential settlement of his bogus lawsuit against the IRS. That’s on top of the $10 billion in damages he wants. This is corruption on steroids — and taxpayers will pay the price.

Hi, actual Jew here running to unseat Lawler so that Rand Paul's antisemite son can try this shit on me. mikesacksforcongress.com

Ending Reconstruction before hanging every Confederate was a mistake

According to 404 Media, ICE officials have admitted that Palantir has helped build a database of 20 million people for the agency to use for raids and arrests. Yet another reason why Palantir is America's most dangerous corporation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_VwyhErd88

Democrats are doing something we've been begging them to do, so please pay attention.

If racists who support authoritarian government are trying to steal democracy and impose minority rule, it's....war.

Democrats, and many non-MAGA folks, still don't realize that Republicans are playing for all the marbles. They're all in. If they can't get power, they will burn it all down. Trump is not leaving peacefully or legally. We have to prepare.

THAT'S RIGHT, MOTHERFUCKERS, I WON A WEBBY AWARD. Here's my 5-word speech. #webbys

I think MTG going against Trump is useful in a “let them fight” sense but if you actually think she is on our side and isn’t still an antisemitic bigot who is aiming to take over the MAGA movement from Trump I don’t trust you as far as I can throw you

AOC is right to say this, and anyone who attacks her for it is wrong. And AOC should under no circumstances be labeled antisemitic.

The President of the United States is a criminal. He SHOULD have been convicted for the crimes he led on January 6th, 2021. He WAS convicted of 34 felonies for corruption and harassment. Yet somehow, instead of facing the consequences he deserves, he’s running the government like a mob operation.

Happy birthday to John Brown, who knew exactly how to handle the south’s “Peculiar Institution”

Disgusting. Foul as the Calláis decision is, SCOTUS took great pains to distinguish Milligan from its decision in Calláis. Alabama just can’t stand to see the rest of the Confederacy having fun without it.

Tapping the sign.

I can't think of anything less patriotic than abolishing the constitution on behalf of a corrupt dying pedophile who wants to be king.

"those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable." - JFK

destroying the trees themselves instead of the peaches is where this goes from unmitigated greed into actual evil

It’s hard to sell elections as a solution to the problem of courts overturning voter will… in an election. “Vote harder (so they can maybe overturn those votes if they don’t like them)” is a sales pitch whose only response is either apathy or violence.

explain to me why anyone continuing to play by the rules isnt a chump

Michelle Obama warned everyone. Kamala Harris warned everyone. Hillary Clinton warned everyone.

The 🚨 alarmists 🚨 have 🚨 yet 🚨 to 🚨 be 🚨 wrong 🚨

Since Virginia won't let voters decide, Governor @abigailspanberger.com should follow the lead of Texas, Florida, and Tennessee and just impose the new map on the state.

America is not “a nation that calls to God in prayer.” It’s a nation where people are free to pray, worship, or reject religion entirely without government telling them which choice is “American.”

All the states now drawing new congressional maps to eliminate Black districts were slave states that had joined the Confederacy, waged war on the USA and then imposed Jim Crow laws. That MUST be included in all media coverage for context!

Seems like it's time to break this out again

Ahh, yes, the unpopular decisions like “black people don’t deserve political representation,” or “rich people should be able to control everything,” or “women shouldn’t be in charge of their bodies.” Truly a man committed to justice.

AVERAGE WHITE MLB PLAYER: has 18 latino teammates he doesn’t speak to, believes the 2020 election was stolen and is in a group text with morgan wallen AVERAGE WHITE NBA PLAYER: wokest dude you’ve ever met, has gotten into several fistfights over a teammate being called a slur, knows every nas lyric

We are being tested like never before. We face an assault on our democratic values unlike anything we have seen in our lifetimes, and it's our job to safeguard those values during these unprecedented times. To our clerks and election officials, California is grateful for your service.

PEARLMAN: “Athletes have stepped up for social issues in the past.” Best-selling sports author @jeffpearlman.bsky.social calls on @Titans @memgrizz players to speak out against/protest @GovBillLee @MarshaBlackburn & Republicans’ racist push to strip representation from MEMPHIS.

WATCH — Dr. @abdulelsayed.bsky.social : “AIPAC & Israel are not the same as Judaism & the Jewish people. I love Judaism and the Jewish people. The most dangerous thing they’ve tried to do is extend the definition of antisemitism to include a foreign government + its leaders. I call bullshit.”

James Talarico: We are living in an era of corruption. I don’t just mean illegal activity. I mean corruption in the deeper sense — the rotting of something from the inside. This is, at its root, a spiritual crisis. And it will require a spiritual solution.

“We’re not doing this double standard shit anymore… this is a prime example of being able to dish it but not take it. Scott Jennings has built a career out of being a smug, condescending asshole on TV.” @adammockler.com responds to @GeraldoRivera’s absurd defense of Jennings

If you were to design a program to destroy the Black middle class in America, it would look exactly like what they're doing.

Can someone let the AP know that violating court orders is not a sign of "executive power. " It is a sign of contempt, lawlessness and authoritarianism.

The Stancil TikTok thing is super illuminating because it tells you how excitedly jumping onto whatever makes you feel good about disliking a person without bothering to do a basic logic or fact test because it validates your existing vibes is most certainly not a right wing phenomenon alone
