📌“The fact that I am American means, among other things, people can’t say, like they did about Francis, ‘he doesn’t understand the United States, he just doesn’t see what’s going on.’ “Do you not see the suffering? Is your conscience not disturbed?” -Pope Leo in a direct rebuke of the hideous Trump

What if we gave teachers $50k signing bonuses, $100k salaries, and $60k in student loan forgiveness. You know, the same as ICE agents get.

This sums up their lying perfectly www.meidasplus.com/p/this-weeke...

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

Why the backlash to the Supreme Court’s MAGA decisions actually matters. slate.trib.al/Y5GoMmY

Last week, one of Trump's senior DOJ appointees strongly attacked a South Carolina's judge's voting rights decision. Today her house was burned to the ground by suspected arsonists.

Worth noting that the official Department of Homeland Security is posting content with tagline taken from KKK materials...

If you showed this tweet to James Madison, he would be like, "yes, this is why I wrote the 2nd Amendment"

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

Where are the people who were so outraged that Biden asked google to pull misinfo at Covid, now that Trump has made Apple pull the ice tracker app

How could a man who never set foot in a library until he was in college create what is considered the most extensive online collection of global Black history? Maybe it had something to do with the story Dr. Quintard Taylor's father told him when he was a young boy. m.kuow.org/stories/reme...

"'There simply aren’t enough students to go around,' said Nathan Grawe, an economist at Carleton College in Minnesota. But the effects of the demographic cliff, he noted, 'won’t be evenly distributed.'"

To Trump supporters, expertise itself is proof of corruption. The more qualified you are, the more you must be part of “the deep state.” It’s coordinated, purposeful dumb. It’s the De-Enlightenment: a deliberate inversion of the values that built modern society. open.substack.com/pub/thecycle...

This equilibrium where Republicans can trash Democratic leaders & voters with vicious hatred & lies without any accountability, but Democrats cannot say truthful (but damming) things about Republican leaders & voters without being pillared by Media & Political Elite is absurd & dangerous.

Every single one of these clips was taken today in downtown Portland. Portland doesn’t want or need a federal takeover. If Trump insists on sending federal “resources” he can start with funding health care, bridges, affordable housing, and wildfire protection to name a few.

⚠️WOKE CONTENT⚠️ 🧵 While people celebrate the life of a racist today, I will give you the names of a few White people who those same people refuse to acknowledge. They made the ultimate sacrifice. Honor them.✊🏾(cont) #ProudBlue #ResistanceRoots #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Miracle: Man dies of bullet wound

It’s not a crime to be in this country as an undocumented person. It’s a civil violation. But you know what is a crime? Taking a bribe from undercover agents in exchange for the promise of government contracts WHEN YOU’RE THE FCKING BORDER CZAR.

Charlie Kirk Sept 27 2024: "Just so we're clear, the Haitians that are in Huntsville that are raping your women and hunting you down at night - it's only gonna get worse - unless Donald Trump wins There will be hundreds of thousands of Haitians brought into Alabama and they will become your masters"

But there wasn't a racist bone in his body . . .🙄

Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.

Trump voters are only letting billionaires take all your money and freedoms. That's what's happening. An oligarchy destroying your rights. You're not "owning the libs." You're being owned by Trump and his billionaire friends.

Why won't any of the sports teams honoring Charlie Kirk play some clips of him? Please show us what you are celebrating. Don't be shy about it. Show us what made him so great. Play his greatest hits.

"Joe Biden is a bumbling, dementia-filled, Alzheimer's, corrupt tyrant who should honestly be put in prison and/or given the death penalty for his crimes against America." -Charlie Kirk (07/24/23)

once the dweeby white dudes they found out he's a dweeby white guy, they decided he was effectively blameless for his decisions and instead the villain are nebulous corrupting "forces" who made him do what he did. so incredibly transparent

I recommend everyone watches this

It's funny that they are not mentioned. Could it be It's because they were democrats? They were important, they had a family. They should be remembered, too.

The difference between a rule of law state and one where the prosecution of powerful white men is no longer possible.

Watching all these centrist pundits stress the “civility” of Charlie Kirk’s style without addressing the ugliness of his substance is giving me a renewed appreciation of how the civil, polite White Citizens’ Councils conned the same crowd into thinking they were distinct from the cruder Klan.

The Texas Department of Public Safety has shifted from Biden-era border enforcement to helping expel people from the country, a job once exclusively done by federal authorities. @serranoalej.bsky.social @texastribune.org

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

Let’s not whitewash history youtu.be/Or57kFYKR3Q?...

Mainstream pundits have instantly sanitized and ignored Charlie Kirk's core political project and its impacts. He has been remembered by the mainstream press as someone they merely disagreed with, a debate me-guy whose words and actions had zero consequences: www.404media.co/charlie-kirk...

I mean, this is pathological. Should Kirk have been killed? No. Did Kirk want to undermine Black voting rights? Yes. Literally and openly. I just can’t even figure out what is going on here.

Pundits are focusing on Kirk’s willingness to debate people while studiously ignoring the people whose basic humanity he was willing to debate

We’re being governed by absolute morons.
