It’s so wild that there was an attempted coup and the Democrats are so “incompetent” that they couldn’t jail the guy responsible even though they were in possession of troves of documents showing he’s a pedo.
The main outcome of this was a wave of WE LOVE COPS propaganda & Dems abandoning BLM.

Things will have to get much worse but these people literally were in the Capitol during an attempted coup and then went back to normal behavior not long after.
They have to think the system is trying to kill them too and they somehow don’t yet.
Insanity bubble of DC politics.

This is all true but when I have doomerism, it’s from the knowledge that this party — aside from a small minority — is corrupt, ideologically compromised, and will resist with all its will to do what is actually necessary
When Ds are back in charge, they have to change everything. No moderate half-measures. Just relentless razing of the corrupt institutions that enriched the worst people in the world and propped up fascism.

Urge your reps to ban Surveillance Pricing and boycott any business that uses it. If it’s allowed to take root, you will be robbed for the rest of your lives.
(1/11) If you live in NY, you’ve probably started seeing a new warning: “THIS PRICE WAS SET BY AN ALGORITHM USING YOUR PERSONAL DATA.” This mandatory disclosure went into effect late last year, and it’s the first attempt by a US state to grapple with a new generation of surveillance pricing.

it’s breathtaking to see how this country is in decline by every possible metric
Devastated to learn that Univ of Texas at Austin is closing the American Studies dept. The years I spent there earning my PhD were formative, making me the teacher, thinker, and writer I am today. I've passed on what I learned at UT to thousands of students over the past 20 years. Just awful.

Spouse said she saw a video of a woman who claims to have psychic powers who said it would happen tomorrow. Now, I don't believe in psychic powers, but I'm rooting for this lady.

Morillo’s biographer will discover that one day she was pushed too far and just decided to go John Wick on the entire political system. The rest is history.
Fantasy? Sounds like a skills issue. This is just how I live and breathe every day.
The John Wick series is so effective because it fully embodies the three major tenets of dumb guy fantasy: 1. being able to kick anyone’s ass, 2. living by a code of honor, and 3. paying for things with gold coins

I just heard someone say on TV that use of the term "concentration camps" to describe ICE facilities was "very strong language."
I think ICE's concentration camps are very strong abuses of human rights.

There are so many top quality food options in Portland. Why are you waiting in long lines on the regular?!
I’ve always felt like avoiding waiting in lines for food was an important portland survival strategy but it occurs to me that there must be people here who feel the opposite way. every minute of the half hour they spend in line for a slice of pie confirms they’re in the right place

A simple ? from Wajahat Ali pushes Hakeem Jeffries into a crashout:
"Why not lead and abolish ICE? What you're telling us is you want our taxpayer dollars to pay for a lawless masked armed agency to continue terrorizing our cities."
Jeffries: "I don't understand anything you just said to me."

Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson last week described the city as “filthy rich.” Impolitic as that may be, returns from a new tax on high pay packages show she’s not wrong.
