There can only be one source of authority in an authoritarian regime

Thinking about how every trump attack is a confession so his juvenile “Dumocrats” nickname is really just his fear of being called “Dum Old Trump”

abraham linkedin like "Almost 100 years ago we invented a country. Now? We're in a great civil war. And this is a battlefield. What can we do? Can’t dedicate it Can’t consecrate it, Can’t hallow it. Only these grindset sigmas could ship enough new birth of freedom to do that, and they did.”

Just watched The Neverending Story (1984) with my 8 year old and she asked, “why didn’t he use his wish to bring his mother back?” I’ve seen this movie dozens of times and that never occurred to me. Kids are so great

Republicans are weird!

Ballroom Republicans invoking the will of god in their grift

@bskyplays.bsky.social hey I want to play hitchhikers guide to the galaxy!

Egregious

The overriding goal of America's right wing is to restore chattel slavery so they can own Black people. That's it. Whether they will admit it or not, whether they'll even admit it to themselves, their goal is legal domination and subjugation through violence of Black people. Everything leads there.

Republican leadership can convince these ghouls to sell out for a ballroom yet Democrat leadership can’t get on the same page about things polling at 70%. It’s well past time for Schumer and Jeffries to go!!

“oxytetracycline, OTC for short, a powerful antibiotic that is used to treat chlamydia and sometimes syphilis in humans… Growers were boring holes in the bases of their infected trees and injecting it” One more reason not to drink Florida orange juice 🤢

Takes a lot to truly unnerve these days but the "a whole civilization will die" line is a new plane of horrific. Even if it is just rhetoric, which I would not bet on, it feels like a sign of some last vestige being blown away. The US openly and eagerly announcing itself as monstrous

"Trump has squandered some of the country’s greatest sources of strength. By repelling nearly all of America’s allies—alliances that are among the best instruments of leverage Washington has in the world—he has paid China and Russia enormous dividends." trib.al/wYwXS1r

Coen Carr!

I’m usually not a fan of remakes but 12 Angry Men should be remade with the actors 10x as sweaty as the original

Just a reminder that most of the MAGA influencers don’t actually have any principles or positions on anything. Whatever gets them clicks and engagement. It’s all a grift.

“There are usually ways around it [Supreme Court decisions].” So corrupt

“The DOJ has asked states to agree to a “confidential memorandum of understanding” in connection with handing over their full voter files.” Any government that seeks to conceal its actions against voters is an enemy to its people.

My heart aches for any mother, sister, or daughter forced to live in a shithole like Kentucky

Whenever some grinning racist from the GOP calls Texas "business friendly," this is what that means

All nostalgia in the Super Bowl ads this year

Shame and anger

I don't know if non-lawyers understand how insane this statement is. I honestly can't think of anything remotely comparable in non-lawyer speak. I guess the closest would be a surgeon saying "Imagine if I had to wash my HANDS before doing surgery!"

Ohio has shown time and time again that they love the boot, they need the boot. Let’s see how they feel when it’s on their neck

We have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.

Oh, Minnesota

"Geography has made us neighbors. History has made us friends. Economics has made us partners. And necessity has made us allies. Those whom nature hath so joined together, let no man put asunder." - Pres. John F. Kennedy, May 17, 1961, Address before the Canadian Parliament.

The reason that it's OK to hate Republican voters and to treat them as domestic enemies in the same vein as Confederates or Klansmen is that they are who the GOP members of Congress ultimately fear. They won't turn against Trump not because of anything he can do, but what those voters will do.

Ours is the Party of Empathy

She was suspiciously drinking gin

These trump lackeys will hopefully be interviewed in military tribunals some day soon #Nuremberg2

Will they vote?

“The officer's name won't be revealed, Hornaday said, because, now, it's not a public matter.” Private enterprise insulting a cop? Public matter. Cop lying about insult to garner attention and sympathy? Private matter. Smh

Future anthropologists will conclude that Christian crosses symbolized hate and intolerance in our society because the most heinous among us wore the biggest ones.

Republicans blame trump? So far that has meant complete exile and public humiliation from and by the GOP. I don’t think tax credits or interest rates are the lines too far, no matter how cruel and corrupt they are Am I naive to think expulsion from NATO could be that line?

“Public health officials” vs “some conservatives” This “experts vs randos” framing and giving equal weight to both helps explain why the world (and WaPo) suck so much

RIP to a real one after 132 years #dittrichfurs #detroit youtu.be/g3XTP2XJEwU

Why wait? Future Dems need to start outlining how this justice will be applied to this criminal regime

What do these companies have in common? -Cigna -Comcast -General Mills -Allstate -Marriott -Hilton -Walmart -Amazon -Microsoft -Meta All promised after January 6, 2021 to stop funding lawmakers who tried to overturn the 2020 election. And all have broken that promise.

1. Hundreds of corps that pledged to stop donating to members of Congress who voted to overturn the election on 1/6/21 have broken their promise over the last 5 years But we've identified 10 promise keepers: Farmers Airbnb Expedia Nike Clorox Eversource Energy Holland & Hart Qurate Whirlpool Lyft

Pluribus is an analog to the best LLM

It took 3hr 2m to construct the Member’s Mark Deluxe Kitchen set tonight 🎅🏼

This comment really frames the players and issues

This is how you foment anti-American terrorism in our own hemisphere

Imagine if a college or university did this! Would Republicans call this antisemitic?

I’m right here! I’m Antifa! Here I am, supporting any and all moral and democratic means to oust these fascist assholes!
