I warned that private equity taking over Walgreens would be bad for workers.
This is the private equity playbook: they hollow out businesses, cheat their workers, and drive them into the ground.

So the government killed this guy in a fake Psy-op (which it was); someone who everyone knew was a complete asswipe, and then used the predictable reactions to fire and shame those who reacted negatively. All part of the conspiracy.
New: Reuters has tallied job losses, suspensions and investigations stemming from the reaction to Charlie Kirk's Sept. 10 assassination. Its findings: More than 600 Americans have been punished, and the figure is likely to be an under-count.

Nobody on our side is gonna get anything they want or need from the files. They won’t be released because of an ongoing investigation, or they will completely redact all Republican names including especially Trump. Stop thinking this matters.Trumpists would continue their worship regardless.

My wife returned from her MAGA cousin’s wedding and reported that entire Trumpist side of the family apparently inhabits an alternate dimension. Her Dad told her “at least things seem more stable and normal now with Trump in office.” He’s clearly being told what to think. He’s an authoritarian.

This is completely fair. We aren’t there yet.
My mistake has been trying to explain what "fascism" is to people who don't care what it is.
So I'm going to try something else. Let's do this as a practical thought exercise.
If America *were* fascist *today* - what would you have to do differently in your daily life? /1

Sometimes I lament all the 1/6ers and assorted human detritus who were pardoned and let out of prison by Trump, but then I realize a new dragnet is going to one day send them all back to the pen. They are all working these forces now, let’s be honest.

Helpful to keep in mind that lying sack of shit Karoline Leavitt ran for Congress in 2022, and lost.
After a lawsuit against her campaign, she was forced to admit that she hid about $326,000 in undisclosed debt. Roughly 200k came from illegal contributions.
She's dirty AF, just like her boss.

I know this isn't the point of the post, but I'm always struck by how badly powerful people write. Punctuation and spelling are just not a concern for them.

At least Adam Schiff didn’t pussy out this time
John Fetterman, Angus King, Maggie Hassan, Dick Durbin, Jon Ossoff, Jeanne Shaheen, Kirsten Gillibrand, Catherine Cortez Masto, Mark Warner, Cory Booker, and of course Chuck Schumer. Maybe others not top of mind. Not all responsible will publicly vote for the cave - that's not how this works.

Not ICE. Border Patrol. They’re wearing Border Patrol uniforms with clear Border Patrol patches on them.
There are many videos of ICE officers doing outrageous stuff but a lot of the absolute worst videos are of Border Patrol, who are basically Bovino and Miller’s most aggressive tool right now.

ICE agents in Chicago violently detain a non verbal autistic man for being “non compliant”
He couldn’t “comply” because of his disability…they don’t care
This is not the first time they’ve gone after a disabled person
They target the most vulnerable because it’s an easy way to meet their quota
