Ironic. Hypocritical. Moronic. Especially the Christians - I will never understand.
Rep. Dan Goldman: "I find it pretty ironic and hypocritical that so many Republicans have seemed to find the rule of law when it comes to Joe Biden's pardoning of Hunter, and are happily ignorant of the rule of law when it comes to Donald Trump and everything he has done."

As much as I would hate to lose Ben Winkler in Wisconsin, this article make a compelling case for his work on a larger scale.

Traitor Tot for the win. Also, dear Joe Biden, time to start working your last few days to circumvent the incoming fascism.
Compared to the list of Traitor Tot's pardons, hunter Biden is an absolute angel.

This. Right. Here.
New Rule: You shall not complain about Hunter Biden's pardon on my feed unless you also admit the Supreme Court pardoned Trump for a coup.

Damn it. I was hoping that post would never become relevant again.

When making a MAGA cabinet, it's very important to strike a careful balance between billionaires, sex criminals, Russian assets, anti-vaxxers, and just plain unpleasant people.

Loving having this conversation with my nieces and nephews, ages 9-18. Maybe they can learn it sooner than 49% of Americans.
“I can’t believe how relevant Wicked is to our current political landscape”

It was relevant to the political landscape 20 years ago when you were supposed to learn this lesson the first time

Putin, Xi, Kim, and Trump are on a stopped train.

Putin goes to the front. “I fired the conductor. We’ll move now.” Nothing happens.
Xi goes. “I fired the engineer. We'll move.” Nothing.
Kim's turn. “I shot the engineer. Let's go.” Nothing.
Trump pulls down the blinds. Says: “We’re moving.”

What are some accessible Infosec & Opsec resources that activists, journalists, and organizers can turn to in preparation for the Trump admin?

Preparing for a fascist regime can feel scary and paralyzing. This seems like an area where people can take control w/ concrete steps.

all of this. don't fight them. preserve your strength and your anger to organize for the most vulnerable.
If Americans are willing to re-elect Trump after everything he’s said and done in the past several months, there’s nothing Harris could’ve done.

We now face a country fascist Christian Nationalists. Trump is merely the symbol and embodiment of that hatred.
