This exactly. You should not have to be an angel to not have agents of the state executing you in the street.
"she was a citizen"
"he was a nurse"

the government shouldn't get to murder immigrants or assholes in the street either what the fuck

I am tired of still seeing arguments like, "Trump voters didn't know any better because of Fox News, et. al." And yes, Fox News would have you think the country has been sliding into hell for the last two decades. But at a certain point, ignorance is a choice, and I am done forgiving that choice.

He never got over the "F" he got freshman year on his _Don Quixote_ book report.
Trump: "There are windmills all over Europe. There are windmills all over the place. And they are losers. One thing I've noticed is that the more windmills a country has, the more money that country loses, and the worse that country is doing. I haven't been able to find any wind farms in China."

JFC, grampa actually pulled out the "You'd all be speaking German now" gag. I honestly cannot stop laughing at it, in a dark, "I cannot believe this is the world we live in now" kind of way.

The worst/best part about all this is I can say, "I think that person is such a lying twerp" and that sentence does not really narrow it down.

LEAVITT: Why was Renee Good unfortunately and tragically killed?
REPORTER: Because an ICE agent acted recklessly and killed her unjustifiably
LEAVITT: Oh, ok. So you're a biased reporters with a biased opinion. You're a left-wing hack.

I am not usually much for 45 minute videos about 3-minute songs, especially one from a movie I am not that big a fan of, but this is pretty neat. Tagging @michaelchu7.bsky.social for value.

A whole lot of people are out there having REALLY BIG FEELINGS about their fellow citizens not showing them the deference they believe is their due. Perhaps a moment or two of reflection on why that might be would not go amiss.

You can't go two hours without seeing some food touting its protein content on TV or the Internet. These people really think we're stupid.
I thought this was a joke but it’s an actual post from the White House: “we are ending the war on protein”
How about ending the war on the health of this country?

Not looking forward to the stink eye I will be getting on vacation this year every time I open my mouth. But I guess this is my tax for living in a country where 25% of the population does not care what happens as long as libs and queer and brown people suffer worse than they do.
This sucks but I think non-Americans being justifiably angry at Americans for what the American government is doing and threatening to do, and Americans experiencing that anger and frustration personally in ways that are unpleasant, is probably an important part of any path back to stability

The U.S. spent 80 years building a world where we were at the top, and most countries just sort of went along with it. Things were relatively peaceful, at least if you lived in an industrialized nation. Watching that be thrown in the toilet in 8 months has been something I never thought I'd see.
