Yes, another illegal and morally bankrupt act of violence by the administration. But it's not happening in a vacuum.

Davy Crockett (1834):
"Give the President power to make war? Where did anybody in his senses get this from? It isn't in the constitution, or I never read it right. It's very true, a plain man like myself can't see as many powers in it as one that has glorification specs on."

Maybe we are finally moving to an end of an economic cycle in which consumers desire something and it's taken away from them and corporations shove something else down their throats instead which is obviously anathema to them. Plus: harmful and illegal.

Dear Jon Stewart c/o @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social
