“MAGA/MAHA does not like autistic people. So it has now blamed mothers for bearing autistic children and offered the possibility they can cure these defective people. This is wrong on the science. Wrong on the reality. And wrong on the humanity.” www.thebulwark.com/p/autism-mah...

Man alive. I have studied Right Wing authoritarianism for years and have watched some truly fucked up shit and today’s memorial service is maybe the most concentrated example of how messed up and disturbing that sector truly is.

This is a good point!

I have been trying to radicalize progressive Christians, but it feels more important now. Do you see how Democrats are failing us, too? Do you see how we are being censored? Do you see how complaining about the right hasn't stopped them? Do you see how tech and capitalism failed to help?

And here's Nancy Mace calling for the same thing while using slurs in front of the media. These people are unhinged nazis. bsky.app/profile/donl...

Hey @ezraklein.bsky.social, how are we supposed to live with an entire political party calling to forcefully mass institutionalize an entire group of people? Your rhetoric only makes sense if you concede that entire groups of people are expendable because you don't want to make any sacrifices.

We are at an inflection point where democracies carcass is being repurposed into a weapon of mass terror against eh perceived enemies of fascist power structure. There is no turning back from this and from here on out anyone and everyone will be seen as an enemy of the state. Fascism is here.

I regret to inform you that if you haven't already it is absolutely time to make common cause with Will Stancil.

They really are living in 1999.

Man, it would be great to have an opposition party in DC right now.

You're watching the death of democracy in real time. Fascism isn't coming, it is here. If you survive it, you will be forever asked by future generations what you did in these moments. Were you speaking out against it or quietly hoping it will just go away on its own.

In a Hitleresque speech, JD Vance says there can be no unity with the left and vows to use the government to dismantle non-profit NGOs and liberal civil society who he says promote violence and terrorism.

Vaccines not only save lives, they save money. Paying a hospital bill for what should have been an avoidable illness could bankrupt families and cost the government billions. Vaccines work and are a cost-effective investment.

Yet another week in an endless succession of weeks

We are at the point in the honoring-Charlie-Kirk's-memory cycle when faculty are being fired for posting, without comment, Charlie Kirk's words. At the behest of politicians sworn to uphold the first amendment, and in public institutions covered by first amendment protections.

The New York Post isn't going to stop until they incite pogroms and get trans people killed.

🚨👀 Seems like a BFD - Sen Van Hollen calls out New Yorkers like Chuck Schumer, Kirsten Gillibrand, Hakeem Jeffries for “spineless politics” bc of not endorsing Mamdani. Great to see CVH speaking w moral clarity w/o fear. More of this please. 🔥

The last 48 hours have shown why people have stopped relying on legacy journalism and have migrated to independent journalists in droves. The benefit of legacy journalism is supposed to be “editors” and “factchecking” and they can’t even get that right in a rush to blame trans people.

This is how they ensure political opponents can't escape when they start rounding them up. If you're in a position to leave, you should do so now before they close the door. theintercept.com/2025/09/13/m...

The phrase “transgender ideology” has “increasingly become a shorthand for everything that threatens the MAGA-preferred vision of the nation, of the people, of the family,” says Joanna Wuest, professor at Stony Brook University. Here is a timeline of the term's use after the death of Charlie Kirk.

NEW @motherjones.com: Pardoned J6ers are using Kirk's killing to call for civil war Stewart Rhodes will rebuild Oath Keepers; Proud Boys call for "retribution"; & ex-insurrectionists are coming "out of retirement." Experts fear they could incite others to violence. W/ @kieraevebutler.bsky.social:

We're close to reaching a chilling moment; the first time in history where the single largest group of people arrested by ICE in the interior and held in detention are people with no criminal record. The gap is now down to fewer than 300 people.

Senators Chris Van Hollen and Jeff Merkley have concluded that Israel is carrying out an ethnic cleansing campaign in Gaza in which the U.S. “is complicit” in a report released after their recent visit to Israel and Palestine.

The only good thing about this is that it crystallizes the bad faith in which every single Republican senator who claims to care about the institution operates, and it is coming right as Democrats are going to have to decide whether to continue funding the government.

This is a very Nazi thing to say, actually.

Of course they did, sigh. They're Republicans. It's what they do, pass cruel legislation. If it's going to destroy lives, they're all for it.

I am so tired living in the US

Here we go

If u watch the whole clip here this is about as good as you’re gonna get from a Republican leader rn; contrast it with the myriad other prominent conservatives in politics and media calling for blood, gore, and preemptive blame games

The path the US is charting for trans people closely follows a well established template: the exclusion of Jews from German society and legal protections between 1933-1939. Countries need to recognize the US is on a speed run to genocide. www.damemagazine.com/2025/09/08/t...

Just a few more Republicans supporting this and members of Congress will have to go on record to protect pedophiles if they want to continue to protect Trump.

CBS poll on support for deploying the National Guard to police cities. It’s not popular. We’re Americans, after all.

Good piece. Democratic leadership is asleep at the wheel, capitulation is breeding capitulation. Shut it down.

Wow. New NBC poll finds 78% support vaccines, including 72% of independents and 67% of Republicans. As I keep trying to argue, Democrats should polarize the shit out of the vaccine/public health debate. Make people take sides. It will split Republicans and MAGA. See this:

CDC ordered staff this week not to release their experts’ assessment that found the risk of catching measles is high in areas near outbreaks where vaccination rates are lagging. “The decision to vaccinate is a personal one,” a spokesperson said, echoing a line from a recent editorial RFK Jr. wrote

This is an excellent article by Ezra Klein. I encourage you to read it. This is a gift link. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/07/o...

FOX: Are these protesters actually being financed from the outside, and is that something Homeland is looking at -- the financing of how these so-called organic protests are happening? HOMAN: Absolutely ... they will be prosecuted too

Please stop with the Taliban comparisons. This is very much a strand of white American Christianity, a tradition with roots all the way back into antiquity

Now you're ordered to fight the Illinois National Guard. Or even, just tasked with "maintaining order" in an occupied city neighborhood where the residents pelt you with rocks and garbage. You're not gonna give this mission your all. There's a good chance you walk. You wanted $50k, not to die

Like imagine you're some dude who doesn't really care about the politics of it but you were staring down foreclosure and said ok well. Better than losing the house. So you joined ICE and got the payout and now

And also people so desperate they're willing to put on an ICE vest just because they're underwater and need that $50k. The cruelty is an asset to them, but they're so eager to recruit that they'll end up ideologically diluting ICE. Which will make it that much harder to use ICE to wage civil war

I'm a human rights lawyer. I've worked on countless immigration, asylum, & refugee cases. As the fascist in chief sends ICE and the military to target immigrants in Chicago, here are tangible steps you can take to protect your immigrant neighbors. (No paywall) www.qasimrashid.com/p/how-to-pro...

Although the language of the Insurrection Act is extremely broad, no president before Trump has dared to stretch it to the point of abuse. Is anybody going to stop him?

THE ICE AGENTS ARE WEARING FUCKING NAZI STAHLHELMS WHAT THE FUCK COME ON, YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS SHIT UP
