"We can't allow fact checkers into the country" is late-stage USSR shit, real end-of-empire stuff
Holy shit.

Reuters reporting that new admin instructions on visas are if you worked at a platform in trust & safety or content moderation or on fact checking or online safety at an platform you *and your loved ones* are ineligible for H-1B visa.

Adorno: “The premier demand upon all education is that Auschwitz not happen again. Every debate about the ideals of education is trivial and inconsequential compared to this single ideal: never again Auschwitz."

Sometimes you forget that these guys lecturing us about discipline work for the most obese president in at least 112 years.

The R word is not acceptable to hurl as a slur, especially by the President. His followers see it as their cue, though, and now they're bullying the Walz family with it. Do you see what Trump has unleashed?

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”

What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”

Funny how that works.

Not only is ICE snatching hard working people who are trying to earn a living, they’re taking their money too?

A witness recorded ICE agents taking a cash box from a taco stand in La Puente during an operation where four people were arrested.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

No more pretense or excuses. Trump and his team have made the white supremacist foundations of this project explicit and clear.

If you enable this you need to face who and what you are. But you can always choose another way.

Choose humanity. Decency. Equality. Democracy.
To make common cause with this Administration is to support an affirmatively white supremacist vision of this country. Period.

Every corporation.
Every Republican.
Every influencer.
Every Governor.
Every evangelical leader.
Every voter. Yes. Every voter.
Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

Trump's illegal murders in the Caribbean just got worse. An internal DOJ memo on the bombings says the victims are waging war on the US, but per NYT, it extensively cites the WH's *own claims* to this effect as evidence!

It gets even darker than that. 1/

🚨Five incidents documented in Charlotte, NC, yesterday. Brutal violations of human rights by ICE. Charlotte residents took it to the streets in protests. A man closed his restaurant to protect his employees. Boycott, video, resist how you can. This WILL BE where you live eventually.

Funny, how MAGA is *outraged* over someone who is simply a Muslim in the New York City mayor's mansion, but has no comment about a Muslim who is an actual murderer in the White House.

Russia, the American right, Israel, Nazi Germany, contemporary Germany with the AFD, the British right, I’m sure I could think of more but it’s insane how much of reactionary politics really just comes down to having a massive victim’s complex and it’s not actually any deeper than that.

The important thing is not whether the Trump performing sexual favors for Bill Clinton thing is true. The important thing is that we all pretend it’s true, and that someone asks Trump about it every day.

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.

Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

-A living wage
-Guaranteed healthcare
-The right to join a union
-The right to vote
-The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family
-The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence

These are the foundations of real freedom.

The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.
It’s that simple.

If your politics require you to try and find common ground with Nazis and not the general population you’re a threat to people.

Full stop.

billionaires should not be allowed to exist because the downside of "one of them loses their mind" is simply too dangerous for a functional society

also, having a billion dollars tends to make you lose your mind
The whole point of democracy is so one person's derangement does not become everybody's problem. It's social hygiene. The fact the richest men in the West are a mix of grotty twelve year olds and deranged apocalypse fanatics is a problem, and we should be honest about it.

there is an extent to which "moderate" is the designation voters use to describe candidates that they like, which pundits then read as a validation of the candidate's posture
