RFK is a eugenics freak first and foremost and everything falls downstream from that. he *wants* excess deaths. he thinks that only the "fit" should survive.
These motherfuckers are going to kill children. I've been saying it for a year, but RFK Jr might as well be a serial murderer.

Seriously: arrest him. The governor should have state police arrest him and charge him with election fraud. Then immediately hold a press conference explaining you arrested someone for committing election fraud and will continue to do so. Just fucking arrest him already. You can actually do this

The thing I admire most about Jeffery Goldberg right now is that he didn't sit on his incendiary scoop, waiting to reveal it only when he could make money from it in a book, like so many other selfish people who know shocking things about this administration have done and will continue to do.

Ok so why is no one with power doing anything other then posting about it and using it to fundraise?
The law is a social construct and musk, and Trump have shown you that they are just driving their steamroller through it with zero consequences.Why would they stop?

I’m not sure how many times this has to happen for people to get it.
Not gonna pretend like I know anything about Carney’s politics because I don’t, but I watched his speech yesterday and he essentially told Trump to fuck off and now Trump’s speaking about him with a modicum of respect.
I feel like there’s a lesson in there somewhere.

I keep watching this clip with something approaching yearning and I’m realizing it’s because we don’t hear this level of strategic realism—that the old world is gone and the old rules don’t apply—from anyone in leadership in the Democratic Party.

In case you were wondering what the phrase "talk is cheap" means, here's an object lesson.
An unelected shadow government is conducting a hostile takeover of the federal government.
DOGE is not a real government agency.
DOGE has no authority to make spending decisions.
DOGE has no authority to shut programs down or to ignore federal law.
DOGE’s conduct cannot be allowed to stand.

For those who say Elon Musk’s neo-Nazi ideology is just a troll and not a deeply held belief, I give you the reality of what happens when you give him this kind of unchecked power.
This is who he is, and it’s also who he associates with. Essential we discuss it as it is instead of whitewashing.

NEW: Archived tweets for Gavin Kriger, Musk's 20-something DOGE employee wreaking havoc inside USAID, shows that Kriger has retweeted multiple neo-Nazis including Nick Fuentes, leader of the so-called Groyper movement, and another popular explicit Nazi account recently unmasked by @travisbrown.dev
Gavin Kliger, Elon's DOGE hitler youth shutting down USAID, is now indirectly responsible for the deaths of thousands of children. His Instagram appears to be @gkliger. He's scrubbing his online footprint.
Here's an archived copy of Kliger's resume: web.archive.org/web/20240418...
