I mean, so far nothing even seems to have reached a tipping point for Democratic senators…
How is this not the tipping point for Republican Senators? You would think Graham/Cruz/Tillis/Thune go to White House and tell him to stop or they will support
Impeachment.

I called the Herr's Product Quality Concerns line and reached a nice lady. She listened to my whole little saga.

She waited, then said, "I bet you believe they're made from real potatoes now!"

I may never recover.
Got my first bag of potato chips in months. Cracked it open. The first chip out of the bag was... soggy?

The second chip was almost fungal.

Baffled, I explored the bag and discovered AN ENTIRE POTATO. Unsliced, brined, like a wad of seasoning juice. It had survived, and now was juicing the chips.

When tens of thousands poured into Times Square, the city didn’t whisper—it roared. Street musicians lit the fuse, the crowd joined in, & the chorus was unmistakable: defiance, democracy,& a full-throated rejection of Trump’s tyranny.

This is people power.

americans love replying to this post with their regionalisms and it makes me a little maudlin because it's such a display of americans loving being american in a time when america is not loving them back
the wildest thing is right-wingers acting like minnesotans in videos must be outside agitators when we can all hear their accents. i don't think i could do that accent convincingly if i spent a year practicing. and neither would i wish to. have you heard that shit? craziest american accent

Dont Americans have the “right” to pick up a gun and form well organised militias against tyranny?

Whatever happened to that?

So does every generation of writers eventually feel like their job is just reminding people of things everyone used to just know

Fascism is bad. People needing to be told that fascism is bad is worse.

This, right here, is why we are where we are.

One side is using a masked not-so-secret police to shoot citizens in the street, and the other side is still trying to cooperate on normal issues.
Sen. Warren says Trump called her to work on credit card interest rate caps
Republicans on Capitol Hill have lightly thrown cold water on capping credit card interest at 10%.

Just so people outside of MN know - a lot of the US citizens getting “arrested” by ICE never get processed at Whipple. They are roughed up during the arrest and then often dropped off miles from where they were picked up. It means we don’t know the true scale of what ICE is doing based on ICE stats

I’ve started using the term “ethnic cleansing campaign” to describe the ICE occupation here in Minnesota. This is deliberate because the reality on the ground is that, at a given moment, any non-white person can be kidnapped by masked federal paramilitaries regardless of their constitutional rights.

It's not a training issue.
It's not a recruitment issue.
It's not a screening issue.

It's a gestapo issue.

ICE must be abolished.

Congratulations to those who celebrate this wonderful day.

Also, every other day is also Transphobes are Trash Day, I forgot to mention that.

They don't "have to."
one of the weirdest things about the current moment is how the national media have to pretend like they don't know what this is about. official government social media accounts are posting about racially cleansing America and they have to pretend like it's not clear who the bad guy is.
