Rape is the distillation of the far-right worldview that Trump embodies: a gleefully sadistic act of domination carried out as fulfillment of a supposedly natural hierarchy. It would be weird if Trump wasn’t a rapist, given his ideological commitments—which is before you get to all the accusations.
i mean c’mon. the president’s best friend was the most notorious pedo in the country’s history who ran a massive child trafficking ring. every bit of circumstantial evidence we have says that trump was a participant. if this were a criminal trial we’d have enough evidence to compel a plea deal.

District Councilors like @dionmcgill.bsky.social are using their oversight authority as their power as elected public safety officials to draw attention to the ways that the civilian experience of what's happening right now is very different from the official line from institutions.
Chicago Police District Councilor Dion McGill says community members have seen actions from CPD officers that seem to violate the IL TRUST Act, which limits cooperation between state & federal police on immigration enforcement.
"Words like collusion and collaboration are used constantly," he says.

the constitutional remedy for this situation is for a few republicans to decide they don't want a child rapist as president

twenty years ago we had Bob Hope, Johnny Cash, and Jim Jetstream...
The coldest air on the planet - relative to normal - is over FL now! The cold pool is being forced south by overwhelming Arctic warmth.
While FL won’t bear the brunt for much longer, the Arctic will become even more off-kilter over the coming weeks. That means weather shenanigans will abound!

Rick Scott was CEO of a large, for-profit healthcare company called HCA. While Rick Scott was CEO, HCA stole so much money from Medicare they were fined $1.7 Billion.
Rick Scott told me his plan would be to take all of the remaining ACA subsidies and redistribute them to HSA accounts and people can then buy whatever insurance a state certifies. Basically a repeal/replace.
He denied when I asked wouldn’t that create two-tiered system where sick pay much more…

I remember some liberals used to say Lenin didn't apply because we didn't have the peasantry here in amerika and how laughable, what do you call a disenfranchised illiterate public?
The conditions for universal literacy no longer exist in the US, billionaires ripped them out of society over generations.
The status quo, for generations, is illiteracy, and nothing short of brutally destroying it is an actual solution.
You can have universal literacy or billionaires, pick one.

i mean isn't part of the weirdness that trump more or less consensually went along with it? i don't think he was directly threatened with harm or arrest, i think he was genuinely shaken by how J6 played out and just decided to keep his head down and not interfere as milley/pelosi/pence stepped up
trump was couped is true but most people willing to believe that are fascists, not people who correctly think it was good and right. also pretending it didn’t happen is the ideal path to preserve civ mil relations whoops maybe we shouldn’t have preserved them
