This Is Fascism

The No Kings rallies have been peaceful. But when was there ever a protest with violence in Washington, DC? I'm racking my brain on that one....Oh yeah, when YOUR people showed up to overturn an election, beat up cops, and threatened Dem. and Repub. legislators. Trump pardoned all those thugs.

Whether it’s Joe Biden attending weekly mass or Donald Trump’s ICE agents shooting a priest in the face with a pepper ball, presidents of both sides have directly engaged with the Catholic faith.

I don't like him personally, but David Simon on AI is the final word on the subject.

/3 Here, by the way, is what the Supreme Court ACTUALLY said about Trump’s theory in Texas v. Johnson 36 years ago:

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session. Want to know why? Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out. Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

These people want any excuse available to abuse women.

Just imagine that logic applied to anything else. For instance, it's exponentially more likely that any random man will rape any random woman than that an undocumented immigrant gets Medicaid. So by Karoline's logic, all men should be locked up permanently, right? 🤔

The GOP controls the House, Senate, and White House, yet they've shut down the government. It's unacceptable that military families must rely on food pantries. Our troops shouldn’t pay the price for Republican political stunts. #TrumpsHealthCareShutdown

Washington Post Poll: Out of the shutdown gate, Americans *strongly* support extending the enhanced #ACA tax credits: acasignups.net/25/10/02/was...

The GOP wants to let enhanced ACA tax credits expire, skyrocketing health care costs for millions. Some perspective: Trump’s billionaire tax cuts cost 10 TIMES what it’d take to extend the ACA tax credits and keep care affordable. They don't care about working people.

Americans can't afford a pound of ground beef, but Pete Hegseth blew millions of your taxpayer dollars flying in every General and Admiral around the world so he could yell at them about the Top 100 things he hates about facial hair.

Join this #protestingpoodle today at 50th & Halifax to rally against the current regime. What is stopping you? For now, we still have #freespeech. Use it or lose it. @sengelweb.bsky.social

More than anything else, I object to this president stealing our time and attention. We can’t even have a Sunday morning without hearing about some insane thing he said and wondering if that insane thing will become real because he’s insane.

Ta-Nehisi Coates: “What of the writers, the thinkers, and the pundits who cannot separate the great crime of Kirk’s death from the malignancy of his public life? Can they truly be so ignorant to the words of a man they have so rushed to memorialize? I don’t know.”

What an unbelievably stupid time to be alive.

Our constitutions are not the same. We have been very proud of always holding elections, no matter what else was going on. I am so tired of Trump shitting on the United States of America.

NEVER FORGET — when the National Guard WASN’T called, and that he lied when he said he couldn’t.

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

The possibilities are endless.

From prosecutor to senator to vice president, Kamala Harris has always been for the people. I know her next chapter will be no different, whatever shape it takes.

🚨BREAKING: Senate Republicans confirmed Emil Bove, one of President Donald Trump’s former attorneys, to a lifetime federal judgeship despite multiple whistleblowers alleging that he urged Department of Justice (DOJ) officials to ignore court orders. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Let's not forget that this seat was vacant because Islamaphobic Democrats wouldn't let Biden's appointee be confirmed. And Schumer let the clock run out.

Emil Bove openly bribed the mayor of New York City.

Bove himself is a literal criminal. A man whose short time in the public eye is defined by his open contempt for the law and those responsible for enforcing it. And the only reason he was nominated is because of his slavish devotion to the president’s most lawless impulses.

I’ve had nothing to do with that pedophile since he stole all of my teenage masseuses.

when RFK says he wants to “end chronic disease,” what people hear is “he wants to cure us” but what he means is “i want to cull the weak”
