Indefensible things about 🇺🇸:
1) the electoral college
2) our healthcare system
3) DC residents get no voting representation in Congress
4) the existence of the (undemocratic) Senate
5) billionaires not paying taxes
6) college football coaches being the highest paid govt employees in most states

Remember the time Obama personally caught a fainting woman during his speech — rather than just blankly staring like a sociopath?
Character isn't something you tell people about.
It's something you live.

Do I have this right? He was illegally deported, with no due process. Brought back on drummed up charges. Served more time. Is getting released awaiting trial. Will be picked up by ICE on Monday while he is legally ‘doing the right thing’-waiting for due process. He will be deported to Uganda?

Fascism is here. We are not “getting closer” or “in danger of.”
This matters because it frames our discussion: We aren’t trying to prevent it, we’re trying to defeat it. It’s not taking over our institutions, it’s taken them over.
Otherwise, we’re always behind, fighting a past we’ve already lost.

It was all so hollow.
The most disheartening thing about America’s descent into fascism has been the abject cowardice of virtually all the people and institutions that could have stood up and refused to comply.

Western countries used to cite China as such a massive polluter that there was no point trying to limit fossil fuel use. Now China leads the world in renewable energy while the US looks like an unsophisticated third world country.

but yeah, you could probably try to calmly explain hospital system budgeting to these people until you're blue in the face and they still wouldn't believe you, because they're in a cult at this point. they don't have a rational understanding of how the world works; they have motivated reasoning

one of the stranger phenomena in American life is that hate is supposed to flow in one direction (rural people get to hate urban people, Republicans get to hate Democrats) and if the hate goes the other way people pretend as if this is very upsetting.
The media made a HUGE deal out of "basket of deplorables" and "cling to their guns or religion."
But, of course, it will totally ignore Trump saying he hates Democrats: "I hate them. I believe they hate their country."

in addition to his "shylocks" comment, i can't imagine the media backlash if Biden said anything like from this screenshot - that he "hates Republicans" - and i'm also tired of having this "IMAGINE IF BIDEN!" thought experiment but it's just a constant reminder of the double standards

the Senate's small-state ultra-bias is never more maddening than when one senator uses it to get benefits for her 740,000 constituents while openly acknowledging the bill she's supporting will harm the nation's 339 million other residents.

It's sort of fascinating how ALL OF THIS lawless tyranny is happening, all around us at all times, and never once have a gang of Second Amendment enthusiasts showed up with their God-given rifles to fend off the secret police. Not once. When they've been driven off it's been by the unarmed.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

I just really need everybody to understand that everything that’s happening in and to the global economy now (and all the businesses and people in it) is the entirely predictable result of the intentional decisions of one guy who doesn’t understand how the global economy works.
