A whole life of infinite privilege upon privilege and still a victim.
In my experience & estimation the most troublesome toxic characters walking this earth are the ones incapable of shedding their sense of victimhood & grievance.

We're all so desensitized by the daily debasement of America that there's no more energy for appropriate outrage. But think about this, it's astonishing, really. All news outlets should be talking abt POTUS saying "things happen" & blaming the victim & protecting the killer. (Narrator: they won't.)
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

#JDVance IS A DIRTY LIAR…
but he’s an educated man, who knows that banks in America did not give 30 million immigrants loans so that they could buy houses.
Republicans want to keep voters uneducated forever, so they can fool them with ridiculous lies.

JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

This is one of the ugliest aspects of this cruel policy which I worried about from get go. It empowers regular creeps not just officials w ever more bullying power over the vulnerable. it’s a disgusting and very fascisty structure, encouraging reg people to threaten and snitch on others.
According to the car wash owner, agents arrested employees before they could obtain their documentation from their work lockers. So many were likely here legally.
Here's hoping this article on Zac boasting about how he ruined some immigrants' lives follows him around for a very long time.

Remarkable: In Virginia and New Jersey, Spanberger and Sherrill erased the GOP edge among working class. Per exit polls, each got 50% of noncollege voters, big gains over previous contests.
Shocker: Anti-Trump politics appeals to working class, too!

The last month of the anti-Mamdani campaign was an absolutely shameful undertaking, an attempt to rip the city and Democratic coalition apart and I'm very happy to see it failed.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions
"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

The Trump administration is a fascist administration, but the United States is not yet a fascist state.
Total state capture takes time. Every obstacle we can present as individuals, groups, communities, and institutions helps slow that process.

I obtained video of two FBI agents visiting an anti-ICE protester not charged with any crime.
While the media continue to mock Trump's war on "Antifa" as legally impossible, the FBI is quietly implementing it with investigations like these:
