I really, really don't want this to be the case because war is never helpful, but it is time for the rest of the world to wake up and smell the fascism (again).

AI undermines any belief in facts and credible sources. It makes everyone question what's real. When truth no longer matters, only power is left.

There are reasons for the statistical differences between the US and more fully democratic countries like Canada. From corn syrup consumption to police violence, they are ultimately about the stranglehold of wealth over #democracy.

The "faker" stereotype and the accusation of "fishing for sympathy" are both just ways abled people deal with the cognitive dissonance of believing they are a good person while excluding "inconvenient" disabled people.

The gap in perception is widening. The 2nd meme is from right-wing sites. They see hate speech and American exceptionalism as good things to protect and preserve. We live in separate realities, divided by algorithms.

It's bad enough that there are people in our country who break down doors and drag someone's family members away on Christmas. The thing that shocks me most is seeing people celebrating that online.

Extreme winds and floods rising here where we used to have snow for Christmas. They'll tell you not to trust your senses or science.

Sometimes even if you don't celebrate this particular day, it can still be a hard one. Joy to those who gather.

Peace, comfort, good books and lights in the darkness to those who feel sorrow or spend a quiet day alone.

Venezuela isn't a significant drug producing country. So what's the crime?

#Venezuela refuses to allow US oil companies to control their oil industry.

Does he refuse to bow his head for fallen soldiers because he isn't paying attention or because he is fundamentally incapable of even the slightest sign of humility? Isn't this more important than taking a knee during the national anthem?

According to the Trump admin, you have the "right" to praise HitIer, but you do not have the right to attend a gathering the government doesn't like. This is now official US foreign policy.

This is, unfortunately, exactly what I expected when I heard the Republicans wanted to "give the money for healthcare directly to the people." $1000 sounds good, but it's a trick to take us back to a time when most of us didn't have health insurance.

The only thing this cartoon lacks is how billionaires are making their money off of people while deceiving them into fighting each other.

If they want to make this retroactive, it will be very informative to see who they want to strip citizenship from and who they don't.

Reading the MAGA-sphere is feels like cleaning really gross toilets, but someone sane has to keep an eye on the propaganda machine. And occasionally it's funny, like when they admit they hate facts and want to deport fact-checkers.

Is it that he was on their side? Or is it that he was simply rich and thus "a person" in the eyes of Trump and his cronies?

Hint: If you don't want to be called a Nazi or a fascist, don't do exactly what Nazis and fascist do. Like exactly.

Our families are mixed. Our kids are brown; our in-laws are immigrants. Our friends are all colors. They want to separate our white Americans and make a racially pure country? It isn't just immoral. It's impossible.

If only it was about legality, we could talk. But they're stalking people at courts where they are going through the legal channels. In the street, they're as likely to detain US citizens as immigrants, since they dismiss IDs as "fake."

All the arguments for why #billionaires deserve their extreme wealth--"trickle-down economics," "job creators," "incentive for inventions," "they worked harder"--have turned out to be wild fabrications.

There is a difference between Democrats and Republicans, after all. The Democrats have wealthy donors and likely also contribute to "more money for rich people" but they also have beneficial goals.

Trump pardoned major drug dealers, including Larry Hoover, leader of the Chicago Gangster Disciples, who was serving multiple life sentences. Now he's pardoning Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández, who moved hundreds of tons of cocaine into the US.
