when people try to parse eg a Nazi salute with “he was referring to / ironic reference” nonsense think of sex. let’s say you and I fuck, but my engagement is ironic — I’m doing it because I’m making reference to a previous discussion about fucking. are you less fucked now? me neither

Every adult before:

“Be careful what you do and say on social media! It could hurt your career!”

Many of those same people, now infected with MAGA brain worms:

“Cancel culture strikes again! Repeatedly tweeting bigoted statements toward Indian people shouldn’t have any consequence at all!”

Democracy is low-information voters condemning you to hell and thanking your lucky stars you were able to take part in the process.
The most likely story for why Trump won is that a lot of low-information American voters remembered prices, including the cost of housing, being lower in 2019 and voted for him thinking he'd take the economy back to that.

Oops?

‘bout time we did a comparative statistical analysis of the crime rates, including violent and fatal crimes, between Trump pardons and the undocumented people
Pardoned by Trump, January 6th terrorist Emily Hernandez of Missouri, who proudly carried broken Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi sign, gets sentenced to 17 years in prison in deadly DUI crash.

The best people.

Idk what to do with this guy and the abundance of people who somehow manage to believe he isn’t a flailing, impulsive toddler whose only consistent value is being a sadistic prick

Everyone really should go back to calling them weird. All of the time. Yes, they have power now, and can and will do a ton of damage, but they're also weird as hell and are already humiliating themselves.

NEW: The Trump administration’s actions on parole this week are an abject example of applying a thin veneer of legality to advance its deeply bigoted agenda to scapegoat and expel as many immigrant members of our society as it can.

if any Democrats besides AOC want to weigh in about the misrule that's already been prevalent over this first week that'd be pretty cool

This is absolutely insane, even under the most charitable interpretation.
UPDATE: Secret Service agents — not ICE — were denied entry at a Chicago school despite initial CPS reports, a CPS source said.

Secret Service agents were looking for an 11-year-old who posted an anti-Trump video, the source said. https://buff.ly/3EatFDz

Oh good
A source at the NIH clinical center tells me that the freeze includes a freeze on procurement. This means that the center, which is a hospital, can’t can’t procure food or medical supplies for patients.
