in the midst of our supposed campaign against Venezuelan drug traffickers the President of the United States has chosen to pardon the Former President of Honduras, freeing him from his long prison sentence earned for trafficking more than 400 tons of cocaine into the United States

His only ideology is to comfort the wealthy and powerful (himself) and afflict the poor and oppressed.
WHOA. Trump says he will pardon Juan Orlando Hernandez, who once said that he wanted to “shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos.” He had people killed as part of his narco-trafficking ring, which he at times operated directly out of his presidential office.

AI kind of feels like the endgame of this bit Graeber described in the original Bullshit Jobs essay: these people have been so thoroughly cleaved from any sense of purpose that they resent those who have one. They hate artists for their skill and think poverty should be the price of having a calling

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway.

This post I think correctly points out that the huge network of off-shore engagement accounts points less toward a concerted foreign effort to destabilize the US and more toward the observable fact that MAGA is a group of the dumbest idiots on the planet
"This has all been especially painful for X users who are, as a baseline, extremely racist. And they are now suffering through the psychic torment of learning that users, predominately from the Global South, are behind some of the bigger right-wing accounts on the site."

Your regular reminder that eternal one-party domination by Republicans is not inevitable, Trump is not invincible, and when the far right receives even moderate pushback against their terrible ideas, they usually collapse.
multiple major setbacks for trump's effort to steal the midterm House election. CA passed their gerrymander; VA D win ensures they will pass theirs; IN refused to pass an R map, defying Trump; courts struck down TX map.
right now looks like outcome of all this could be to add *D* seats.

In some ways the most notable feature of Trump 2.0 is the total absence of even pretending to care about being seen as corrupt. No facade at all. It’s just all corruption all the time.
Once wasn’t enough. Trump pardons a J6 rioter for a SECOND time.
