yup
Trump has clearly manifested himself as human garbage every hour of every day for 10 years. So while, yes, it's gratifying that more people seem to be finally noticing, a little, maybe, two questions come to mind:
1. What the fuck took you so long?
2. What are you going to do about it now?

Yup.
Republicans are fine burning things down to get what they want. Democrats are not. Which is why the country will continue to lurch to the right.

When I would get a $300 bonus at work before the holidays, I would give $100 of it to the local toy drive. It made me so happy and hopefully made a few kids' Christmases brighter. Think what I could do with Musk's salary?!
Tesla shareholders approved Elon Musk's $1 trillion pay package.
Meanwhile, millions of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, can't afford to feed their families, and struggle with cuts to the safety net made to finance tax cuts for the super-rich.
American capitalism is off the rails.

Exactly.
"Once citizens begin to view their own government’s security forces as an occupying army, violence becomes inevitable. Trump’s team knows this. In fact, that’s the point. They are not trying to restore order; they’re trying to trigger the very unrest that would justify further crackdowns." […]

All of the mental gymnastics
So Democrats shouldn’t call Republicans fascist or gestapo or anything because that could provoke violence, but it is appropriate to call Democrats domestic terrorists or a domestic extremist organization.
Do I have that right?

Agreed.
I am not embarrassed. I am pissed at the apathetic voters who stayed home, the compliant media, the uninformed voters, the amnesia voters who ignored his disastrous pandemic performance, and the tech overlords who pushed this goon in favor of their own interests and now look like Wiley Coyote

Agreed.
There's some meme my son showed me with a guy wide-eyed saying WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP, and it seems pretty relevant right now. I want to shake every person I see--get them to snap out of whichever fog their in. Alas.

Okay, to put an even sharper point on this: they are not even 9 months in and they are openly censoring *Jimmy fucking Kimmel* because he poked fun at the president for lack of empathy.
These are desperate moves.
They are desperate because they are weak and people are naming it.

These guys are unpopular and dumb as rocks, they did not discover a secret 'I win' button at the heart of all politics labeled 'mean tweets' or 'cancel elections.'
Keep speaking, keep writing, keep marching, keep voting, force them to show the country what they are.

If the right *truly* believed Charlie Kirk was a defender of free speech and someone who was fine with dissenting opinions, they wouldn't be engaged in a massive campaign to punish anyone who didn't "mourn him properly."
They clearly know all of that is bullshit. Only the media was conned.

People living under fascism didn’t survive by giving up joy—they protected it.
They held onto the things fascism tried to erase: art, friendship, jokes, rituals, language, memory.
Not as escapism but as resistance. As proof they were still human.
Joy isn’t frivolous under fascism. It’s strategic.

Ugh.
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Make the calls!
Today's the day the Senate will vote on the budget bill that could gut Medicaid access for millions of Americans. Tune in. Call your Senator. We need everyone to weigh in now.

Seems correct. What a horror.
So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

When people learn how the Republican budget bill would take from the poor to give to the rich—a reverse Robin Hood—they’re overwhelmingly against it.
But too many people haven’t heard about it.

Just reposting this which I think is the most gorgeous thing I have seen in my career - a critically endangered orange-bellied parrot feeding on a carpet of daisies after an ecological burn. This was the first time they’d had the chance to feed naturally in 15y and was wonderful to witness

I want to hear her rename all of the things to reflect our current culture--at least to give us a chuckle as a reprieve.
Scanlon: The Gulf of Mexico was so named over 500 years ago. If we want to update that name to reflect our current culture, maybe we should call it the Sea of Emoluments—you know, the place where we can board the Ship of Fools and navigate from a State of Ignorance to the Confederacy of Dunces…

Yes, please.
I know, norms and all that, but the default Dem position should be:
We think this is illegal but if the courts say you can do this then we are going to rip the guts out of the entire conservative movement. No more Heritage, FedSoc, etc. All of them lose their tax exempt status.
