Quoth the late Charlie Kirk:

“I think it’s worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment.”

Saddened by this political assassination.

But horrified as I discover the ideas, previously unknown to me, of this terrible person.

And why this blanket media coverage just now, after the muted response to the Minnesota killings?

Creepy.
Stephen Miller: "Children will be taught to love America. Children will be taught to be patriots. Children will be taught civic values for schools that want federal taxpayer funding ... we're gonna make sure these funds are not being used to promote communist ideology."

There are 3 types of people since Oct 7th.

Those who condemn only the killing of Israeli kids.
Those who condemn only the killing of Palestinian kids.
And those of us who condemn the killing of both.

Don’t be in the first 2 groups - the 1st one dominates our politics & media.

Is this injunction against Musk enforceable ? By whom? Won’t the Muskrats just keep on doing crime?

So how is Fox reporting the Musk takeover/coup? Are they reporting it?
February 2, 2025 at 10:06 PM
It's a coup d'état. Why is in not being reported as such?

"Musk aides gain access to sensitive Treasury Department payment system
The access — granted by Scott Bessent, Trump’s newly confirmed treasury secretary — comes after the ousting of the agency’s top career official."

Donald Trump and his Administration are preventing agencies from observing Black History Month. Now more than ever we need to celebrate Black Americans and recognize the importance of this month. Happy Black History Month!

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Let's all say it out loud. These people are fascists & this is a fascist take-over of the United States. You can couch your words more carefully, but the speed and ferocity of what is happening now is part-and-parcel of a coup. The GOP in Congress has surrendered. The Dems are out of their depth. 1/
