Remember, kids, using people's preferred pronouns is "Marxism." Centralized control of the economy that leaves people increasingly dependent on cronyist government largesse is, apparently, good ol' free-market conservatism.

They’re desperately trying to separate the pipe bomber from MAGA, Trump, and 1/6. It’s why there’s a 22-day gap in the arrest affidavit. I’ll be covering this on the @meidastouch.com channel tomorrow at noon PT.
Please call the guy the January 6th pipe bomber.
Fox is calling him the "January 5th bomber" because he planted the bombs the night before but really because they don't want to mention 1/6 as a bad day.

Here's an idea: Any Democrat who wants to be taken seriously as a presidential candidate in 2028 must pledge to rip this cabal of anti-democracy tech fascists out of our government.
Anyone who won't make that pledge is for the billionaires, not the people. This must be a deal-breaking litmus test.

The Trump Administration extrajudicially executed Colombian fisherman Alejandro Carranzaas for alleged drug smuggling (without evidence), but pardoned right-wing ex-Honduran President JOH actually convicted of conspiring with drug cartels to traffic over 400 tons of cocaine into the United States.
If Juan Orlando Hernández was a poor fisherman accused without evidence of transporting illegal drugs by boat, the Trump Admin might blow him and his crew up without a trial. But because JOH is a former president of Honduras who shares Trump’s right-wing politics, he received a presidential pardon.

Yes, the Supreme Court has failed to protect us from Trump. But it’s worse than that: The Supreme Court is imposing its own fascism. It invented presidential immunity. It has gutted the Voting Rights Act, passed by a bipartisan Congress. It’s as bad as Trump, and moving in the same direction.
