We should improve society somewhat.
Until this moment, Mr. Secretary, I think I never really gauged your cruelty or your recklessness. Let us not assassinate this lad further, Mr. Secretary. You've done enough. Have you no sense of decency? Sir, at long last have you left no sense of decency?
If you dare to displease the despot, you will be declared an enemy of the state and every lever of it will be deployed against you.

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

It feels like the biggest group that is writing off men are the people who treat being straight / cis / masc as an impairment on the level of dementia or major brain injury. "Oh, he gets Nazi tattoos sometimes---it's not him, it's the disease. Tragic." We can actually live full, rich lives!

Many people are outraged that Trump is demolishing part of the White House. But of course Trump can't do it without help. It's ACECO LLC of Silver Spring MD ("full-service demolition") that is tearing down the People's House. You can call them and let them know how you feel. 1/

This is pretty far down on the list of actual damage he's done, but I still want show trials of everybody involved, all the way down to the guy operating whatever bit of heavy machinery that is.
If some West Wing-type drama ran an episode where a deeply unpopular president faced the largest mass protests in several generation, and then ended it with visuals like this critics would universally pan it for the grossly over-the-top symbolism.

oh for fuck's sake
Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

@govpritzker.illinois.gov why are you letting them do this?
Major commotion as IL state cops shove back crowds trying to stop an ICE vehicle. I was grabbed and shoved repeatedly while filming the incident.

why should i leave, they're ones who suck
I'm realizing a grim exercise/prompt may be in this ...

If others want to share, I'm curious:

Why aren't *you* leaving america (yet)?

Asking for trans folks in particular, especially those of us on HRT and/or other very directly threatened in terms of our healthcare ...

Reposts welcomed. Sigh.
If i were 22, I'd maybe just bail on america. I'm 38 is the problem and I love my life here. My house, my gardens, my dogs. This is where I built my adult existence ...

Make sure to watch the video --- no plain text quote could possibly do this justice. Just, jesus christ.
Trump: "I'm very careful when I walk down stairs, like I'm on stairs, I walk very slowly. Nobody has to set a record. Just try not to fall because it doesn't work out well."

I read of a Dutch Resistance fighter who was kept going because everyday he heard the USAAF overhead and every night he heard the RAF overhead, and he knew there were still people fighting.
Fascists win by successfully presenting themselves as inevitable and unstoppable. An effective resistance must, above all else, disrupt that narrative.

Any Philadelphians in CD-2 who follow me, please join me in yelling (politely) at Brendan Boyle for this. There was absolutely no electoral risk in him refusing to support this, and yet he supported it anyway.

202.225.6111 is his DC office.
Everything wrong with the Democratic Party in a nutshell.

95 House Democrats (including Jeffries!) just voted to honor the life & legacy of Charlie Kirk.

Only 58 voted no.

38 voted present.

they want us to fear them and they want this primarily because they can't actually do much to curtail our speech other than scaring us. there are far too many people who hate this president and everything he represents and won't be silenced for them to lock everyone up.

Pass it along: October 14 is George Floyd Day.
Who’s with me?

George Floyd and Charlie Kirk both have a birthday on October 14th.

MAGA are going to honor Charlie Kirk online all day for his birthday, and I think we should FLOOD THE INTERNET honoring GEORGE FLOYD instead.

Charlie Kirk does not deserve a national day of remembrance.

He was a bigot, a conspiracy theorist, and frankly a coward who targeted vulnerable groups on behalf of powerful interests.

Let it be said millions of times over.
National day of remembrance for Charlie Kirk motion passed the Senate by unanimous consent.

Zero Democrats objected, which would have stopped it.
Tommy Tuberville is presiding — and smirking.

We need to call it what it is: a president using government coercion to silence voices he doesn't agree with is authoritarianism, plain and simple.

It's the Orbán playbook, the Putin playbook, and now the Trump playbook. And it should alarm every American.

Let me just say a simple thing.

Democrats have no obligation to provide the votes to fund the destruction of our democracy.

If you want my vote for a bipartisan budget, there need to be protections to stop Trump's brazen lawlessness.
