And again, a pattern of putting out statements accusing people of serious Federal crimes and then releasing them hours or days or weeks later with no charges. And no retraction.
NEWS: Federal agents crashed with woman’s car, pointed guns at her, dragged her out by legs, tossed her in a minivan, held her and (eventually) let her go without charges. This as Chicagoans say the immigration blitz is out of control. (DHS blames her.)

“Individuals on the ground sent a message that reached us Monday morning that 1,200 were dead,” Nathaniel Raymond, the lab’s executive director, said. “By that evening, they said 10,000. By Tuesday, we couldn’t reach them anymore. We assume our ground contacts are dead.”

I don't think we should talk about climate change anymore, we should talk about kitchen-table issues. Like how climate change will destroy your kitchen table and everything else you have

They see a lack of income as a moral failing, so they treat those less fortunate than them as less than human, undeserving of basic decency or even the ability to enjoy a goddamn snack or nice food every once in a while. To them, if you don't make a living wage, life is meant to be miserable.

It's pretty clear that they hate it so much because they want low income people to be as miserable as possible. They don't want them to have choices. They want them to suffer, because they feel they don't deserve to eat if they can't afford it.

I am once again pissed beyond belief at some people's absolute delight at the loss of SNAP benefits, which will affect millions of people.
They claim that they're so happy because they're upset that people on benefits buy snacks and unhealthy foods.
Come on. We know the real reason.

Day 24 of Prez’s shutdown. This is very stressful for federal workers. If you have the resources, take a fed for coffee, buy them lunch, or have them over to watch a game. Kindness helps

Making America God Awful, I guess.
Over the past week, the president said the DOJ should pay him a quarter billion dollars, bulldozed half the White House to build himself a gaudy ballroom, bragged about murdering civilians in international waters, pardoned some more criminals, directed federal prosecutors to indict his opponents ...

You ever have a moment where you feel you are about to fly apart emotionally, but you have too much to do and too much responsibility to feel your way through it so you just stuff it down and keep going? Asking for a friend.

Just in from two SF No Kings events (Ocean Beach and then a colossal march and rally downtown). So many good signs, so much devotion to justice, liberty, human rights, and Jesus lord the one part of the US economy that must be booming right now: INFLATABLE critter costumes.

It actually extremely upsets me that we feel compelled to block these accounts, but whoever is running them right now apparently is riding the far-right fascist line.

This isn’t the whole story, of course – but if it’s not at the core of your story, you’re on the wrong track.
Add “Once democracy made it possible for women to threaten patriarchal domination and for queer people to publicly affirm their identity” – and we’re already very, very close.

Once American democracy made it possible for a Black man to be elected president, American conservatives decided that it had to be destroyed
While Vought traces the “leftwing revolution” back a hundred years, to the progressive era, there is no question that the election of Barack Obama was a radicalizing moment for him and many key thinkers on the radical Right - as were the multiracial protests in the summer of 2020.

Finally read "On Tyranny" and it is quite depressing to think of how the cult like mentality results in everyday professionals sliding slowly into fascism. A brief glance at political comments anywhere online would tell you there are plenty of Nazis-in-training.
