I like books and outdoors things and my family and the absurdity of the banal. Data mangler by trade.

Noem is using the Brown University shooter to end an entire visa program, but it should be noted that Pete Hegseth, just today, murdered more than twice as many people

I'm sure Mike Johnson doesn't know anything about it.
Trump: "We have to be unified. China is unified because they have one vote -- that's President Xi. He says 'do it' and that's the end of that. We have a different system."

Striking a boat full of unarmed civilians is murder. The first strike was murder. The followup strike was also murder.
We're not at war. It's not a "war crime". Everyone involved, including the POTUS, SecDef, the Admiral who relayed it and the person who pressed the button needs to be on trial.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

These people are complicit in killing children. They are also completely ignoring what "evidence-based" means.
CDC has overhauled its website to assert that “the claim ‘vaccines do not cause autism’ is not an evidence-based claim”

Speaking only for my own senator, either Chuck Schumer is pretending that he's not supporting this, or he's completely incapable of being the actual leader. Either way, he has again proven himself incapable.

Ja. Also, sometimes it's even the "little" things. A self-identified republican just the other day basically did an "I can't even" at me about the east wing. But overall, he's managing to piss off a lot of different demographics.
People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

I was never one of the "this is the press's fault" people. But more and more, as they ask questions with a presumption of regularity towards the executive, it's bullshit. This admin is lawless. Don't ask the Democrats if they'll roll over, as if that will do anything.

When it comes to murdering fishermen on the high seas, Donald is lawless and careless, but when it comes to finding excuses not to feed Americans, he's a precise bureaucrat, obsessed with following the law.

Literal murder. Nothing less. Even if every single accusation is true, __it remains murder__.
Another illegal US maritime strike—again in the Pacific.
Against a vessel allegedly operated by an unspecified "designated terrorist organization."
Four reported fatalities—dubbed w/o ID or evidence "narco-terrorists."
There's a word for premeditated killings outside of armed conflict.

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

I do not believe Dems should fold. I believe if this works, he will keep doing it. If I believed folding would feed hungry people, I would at the very least strongly consider it. But he explicitly said he felt no obligation to honor any deal struck.
"Trump is illegally impounding SNAP funds to make people hungry so he can force the Democrats to capitulate to help the hungry people" is just a wild state of affairs.

The entire premise of the "United" states is this. Anyone who supports the largesse based on support does in fact not believe in the United States
Walz: "We have a federal system that we're all in it together, we help other states when they need it, but we have a situation where they're trying to divide us & provide specific aid to states that they like at the moment, which is absolutely unconscionable... either that or give us our money back"

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.
