I understand that a lot of folks have been misled by fear-mongering and powerful regressive voices but it’s still astonishing to me that so many have fallen for the idea that oppressively policing other people’s gender identity and expression could in any way be part of an enlightened future.

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.

If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.

It’s that simple.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

If the President of the United States can assemble all of his commanding officers and describe his plans for prosecuting a military conflict against US cities without drawing even an ATTEMPT to impeach him under the Constitution’s explicit definition of treason, the legislature are all oathbreakers.

If you're going to moralize about budget demands, then your demands must include (1) restore USAID (2) fire RFK Jr (3) close the concentration camps.

If not, then we're all in the realm of pragmatic politics, and "prioritizing Republican voters" is the path to everything getting worse for everyone.

The US president trafficked & raped underage girls, the evidence is overwhelming, everyone knows it, and this country's elites & institutions are so broken, so insular, so decadent that we can't even bring ourselves to state it clearly, much less do anything about it.

Contemptible & pathetic.

I have gotten in hot water for using the term "failed state" to describe the US as there are historical conditions that have to be met for the term to be accurate, so let's just say we're in the on-deck circle
