Boy, North Carolina Republicans sure don't want the attached story to circulate. I sure hope that this stupid threat from their spokesperson doesn't boomerang on them and have a lot more people read and share the story, which once again, is conveniently attached below. That would be a shame.

What The Hell Is Going On, a thread:

I’ve seen some thinkpieces and posts about Portland protests that fail to understand the long-term hyperspecificity of Portland culture/humor, and frame it as a sort of shitposting meme-pilled ironic thing. Which is wrong.

So I’m gonna give you my breakdown.

The Trump admin *secretly revoked Rümeysa Öztürk's visa.*

Öztürk couldn't dispute it. *She wasn't even told about it.*

From a State Dept. memo:

"This revocation will be silent. The Department of State will not notify the subject of the revocation."

I've been unable to think of little else since watching the video of masked secret police from ICE whisking away Rumeysa Ozturk - a shocking scene of police state repression I never hoped to see in America

What's even worse is why she was disappeared. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/rume...

Financial Times points out that something has recently gone very wrong and it's only going wrong in the US.

People are underestimating the economic damage happening right now. We've not begun to feel the worst of it, which will be entrenched, resistant, and measure in years, not quarters.

“A better way to think about tariffs is as a key tool to achieve the core of Mr. Trump’s economic agenda: He wants to shift the tax burden away from the well-off and toward the poor and middle class — while also consolidating his power.”

Opinion | Trump’s Tariff War Is Being Fought to Lower Taxes for the Wealthy
President Trump is remaking the tax code to favor the well-off even more, and cloaking these changes in a veneer of nationalism.

I can't get the wording of those termination letters out of my head.

"You are not fit for further employment."

The person who wrote that letter enjoyed it, I think. Why else would you choose those words? But what kind of person would enjoy THAT?

if a month into Kamala's Presidency, you had to have a second job to eat an egg, planes were falling out of the sky, gas had risen 60 cents a gallon, and she'd given your irs information to some 20 yo nazi who worked for Soros, not only would she have been impeached, she would have been shot.
