Watched enough Doctor Who as a child to know that when the people come together, we always have more power than the folks at the top.

PEOPLE! STOP EXPECTING TO BE RESCUED. WE HAVE TO SAVE OURSELVES.

Politicians ARE NOT SUPERHEROES and never were. They have power, yes, but only so much right now. WE HAVE MORE POWER TOGETHER and we squander it when we whine and complain that someone should rescue us.

While this usually isn't the intent, "no one will ever be held accountable for this" doomerism is an excuse not to try.

There'll be at least some accountability if enough Americans work for it. And this time really is different. Doesn't guarantee the aftermath will be, but it increases the chances.

"One of Tina Peters’ lawyers, Peter Ticktin, suggested on Trump ally Steve Bannon’s podcast this week that the military be used to free Peters from prison."

And that, my friends, is what we would call "an illegal order."

Seems like that Gmail thing isn't true but maybe there's a lesson here about what happens when you keep turning new features on by default and you make it difficult or impossible to turn them off, and also what happens when you lump useful machine learning in with forced slop under the "AI" label

If the people fight and organize, the fascists lose. What we have right now is the fascists using spectacle and propaganda to intimidate people out of fighting, and (worse) people who are intimidated trying to persuade others that it's all over and to lie down and die.
Like I bet he still tries, but there's far too much comparativist brain in commentary that doesn't understand:

1.) The U.S. is fucking huge.
2.) The Federal Government is wildly understaffed.
3.) The Feds do not have the personnel or knowledge to diddly shit without local resources.

need people to understand that accepting or conceding that he has the authority to do these things is tantamount to giving him the authority, and so your preemptive dooming is actively counterproductive

For all the folks who think "we the people" are "powerless" and "can do nothing," here's evidence that we absolutely can. This is exactly why you make phone calls, cancel subscriptions, and boycott. Put pressure on the corporations so they'll put pressure on you-know-who.
Heard from a friend at Disney+ that there are multiple levels of freakout internally, both from internal dissatisfaction, concerns about subscription cancelations, and of course the big one: concern about a boycott spilling over into parks and cruises.

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

It's worth noting that this clip is from May 30. That's almost FOUR MONTHS ago now. When are you going to DO SOMETHING, Senator? When is it enough? Best time was months ago. Second best time is NOW.

It is genuinely humiliating as an America to have this sour, cowardly, narcissistic lout represent us and to know that so many Americans applaud conduct like this. Just deeply embarrassing.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.

If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.

If you're under 28, the number is 100%.

Happy Labor Day.

Refusing to act, then falsely accusing those who want to see something tangible done to protect kids of attacking prayer on top of it, is doubly shameless.
Karoline Leavitt: "I saw the comments of Ms. Psaki and frankly I think they're incredibly insensitive and disrespectful to the tens of millions of Americans of faith across this country who believe in the power of prayer, who believe that prayer works."
