I think we all need to make wagers about how long each oligarch is left standing in Trump’s America. As Xi and Putin have theirs disappear in mysterious suicides or accidents (and take over their wealth), we must ask WHEN Trump does this! Musk is now annoying, I give him 60 days after the election.

"Democrats keep “getting caught in this stupid doom loop in which our pollsters say: ‘Well, climate’s not one of the top issues that voters care about, so then we don’t talk about it’”, said Whitehouse. “So it never becomes one of the top issues that voters care about"

DON’T LOOK AWAY: Children seen shackled and escorted by federal agents out of a downtown Los Angeles detention center.

Multiple minors. In chains. In public. This is not a “border issue”—this is a fucking human rights crisis.

Please keep in mind this is what they were allowed to see and not what goes on when no one is looking. And even this is bad.

Within every Conservative is the bone-deep conviction that there should only be two classes: the rulers and the ruled.

How each Conservative clique arrives there differs, but the destination is always the same.

Take a minute to look at these increases to the ICE budget in the GOP mega bill. Take another minute to let it sink in. They're preparing a police state that will far exceed rounding up Spanish-speaking brown people.

The budget bill contains tens of billions to fund an army of 10,000 more ICE agents. This is a red alert moment for our democracy.
