I'm reposting this fellow because it's a good example of how people believe this stuff basically have a cartoon-level understanding of history and how things work. (Meaning, not a very good understanding.)

The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670 Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy? You’re doing their dirty work.

Also defines the average MAGA person that relies on government assistance programs but cheers their demise

“We don’t have illegal aliens… the legal term for my people were slaves….” 🚨This is what leadership looks and sounds like in 2025.✊🏼

It should also include the person(s) giving the orders to arrest / detain without warrants

I guess the Reagan Library commented before actually checking their YouTube post from 8 years ago with the actual Reagan speech on tariffs used by Canada in their ad - of course there are already plenty claiming this video is Ai because they don't want to accept reality youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc?...

Norway is looking better and better!

Farmer John Bartman and heiress @abigaildisney.bsky.social offer fascinating perspectives on the economic and moral impact of Trump 2.0. All you never knew you wanted to know about scarce combine parts, historic estate tax rates, and much more. @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/heiress-so...

WOW... JUST WOW... In order to justify invoking the insurrection act in Portland, Oregon, trump faked a riot with professional videographers, the military and hired extras. Sen. Jeffrey Merkley tells us what happened :

This. Said. It. All. ⬇️⬇️ Please. Share. So. Everyone. Knows. The. Truth.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system. I am not fearful — I am fearless. We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

While opposition parties remain legal, Trump’s governance increasingly delegitimizes them and treats dissent as criminal. Functionally, this reflects fascism in practice—an illiberal regime seeking one-man rule, not mere populism .

This seems to be a spot on analysis but I'm afraid those powerful elites & politicians that are propping up an aspiring dictatorship think this could not or would never happen here in the USA - those things only happen in other countries they help destabilize....

The weird snipe at @stevevladeck.bsky.social aside, Ilan misses the entire point that even the framers accepted the general idea of judicial oversight re: the president's deployment of military forces. Congress enacted a statutory regime. The president is bound by it. Courts have equitable powers.

“There are actions taken by officials and individuals that tear at the fabric of the republic; there are long and circular arguments about the officiousness of all these violations, demanding not only that opponents allow for their continuation but treat their degradation as a positive good.”

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States. America is on the brink of martial law. Do not be silent.

ICE & National Guard are just the chum being thrown out to incite a violent response and be the casualties needed to lock us all down and remove any shred of constitutional law. The GOP going along to facilitate this don't realize they will no longer be needed once this goal is accomplished.

I know I said WE would never let this happen here. I know that the WORLD said it can never happen again… Yet… Here we are!

I need to remind my fellow white people that it's not just up to Latinos to put their freedoms on the line to defend others like in this video. We should be prepared to help resist. Get in the way. Use your privelage to protect someone who doesn't have the same. One nation.

Real men don’t zip-tie children. the-express.com/news/us-news...

ABC, NBC, CBS, and CNN have left the building.

This will happen to any one of us at any time now, it doesn't matter what you look like if these government agents feel like escalating or creating a situation. Absolutely NOBODY is holding these lawless agents accountable for any of their actions - when do we as a law abiding society say "ENOUGH!"?

I am just so fucking proud of her.

How is this sustainable?

Hayes: There are some people I have seen who who have the following theory: Schumer is worried about a primary challenge from you AOC: This is so not about me in this moment. This is about people being able to insure their children.

Goodbye, Disney+!

Society don't have children you can't afford, stop asking for help. Actively make having children more expensive. Society: where the babies at?

STEWART: “Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether— we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.” Nailed it.

Overcrowded cells. Unsanitary conditions. Limited access to food and water. These are the conditions that ICE has created at 26 Federal Plaza, which eleven elected officials sought to expose. Instead, they were arrested. They must be released right now — and inspectors let in.

Just canceled my Hulu / Disney+ subscription tonight also because of their action pulling Jimmy Kimmel. The actions of ABC / Disney undermining free speech because of government pressure can not be accepted.

When someone who made a life of profiting from inhumanity is themselves on the receiving end of inhumanity, I don’t lose my humanity in response. I acknowledge an act of inhumanity has occurred and will now cause suffering by people not party to it. Then I return to places where humanity exists.

This all fucking day! Wake up white people!

Ohh that's RICH @ohhthatsrich.bsky.social

A question asked by the "illiteracy is good" administration met by a counter question by the people.

When it was announced the National Guard would be allowed to carry weapons in DC, I bet nobody thought it meant rakes and and pitchforks!

Amazing even those pandering to him would have a hard time trying to refute what is stated here -

At some point in the not too distant future the conventional wisdom will be that this was a period where the US focused on dumb shit while China took the lead in multiple domains

The Supreme Corpse

For the "2% of White Americans owned slaves" believers: •So those who didn't own slaves was against it? •How come the Whites who didn't own slaves allow Jim Crow to flourish for 100 years? Stop trying to downplay the role Whites had in U.S. slavery. You look stupid af.🔥☕️

David Brooks, fascism apologist. People who choose fascism aren't responsible, the decadent left made them? The Nazis tried that excuse too. Now as then, it's based on lies. All US media sources were not produced by leftists. That's insane. Fox, Rogan, Daily Wire, etc., not to mention Elon Musk's X.

When Ted Turner asked Carl Sagan if he was a socialist, Sagan gave the answer America keeps failing to learn.

And for some really really outstanding news brought you by the letter b Yes bankruptcy! For an entire state

This is incredibly beautiful storytelling.
