In other news:

Over the weekend, Lindsey Graham, “I just want to make it really clear: I’m in the ‘Hitler sucks’ wing of the Republican Party.”

Which means, there is a”Hitler is awesome” wing of the Republican Party.

A journalist or 2 ought to ask the Senator about that, don’t you think?
“I’m in the ‘Hitler sucks’ wing”: Sen. Graham distances himself from Fuentes and Carlson at Republican Jewish Coalition.
But I just want to make it really clear, I'm in the Hitler sucks wing of the Republican Party. What is this Hitler shit? I don't know. Anyway, here's what I do know. You can sit in a basement with wei...

people playing music/videos on their phone speakers in public is more than just mildly annoying and is instead a leading indicator of the decline of community and empath
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Not being even vaguely sarcastic:

At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson “you regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing. If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed, and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?”
Q: What's your message to the 170 US citizens who have been detained by ICE? About 20 of them are children

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know what you're talking about with the children. I haven't seen that so I'm not going to comment on it.

Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?

TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

TRUMP: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

What's it like living in Chicago today? This image gives us a strong sense of the fear that Chicagoans fear from Trump's secret police.

I’m a career prosecutor who took a $25,000 check from an affiliated entity of Donald Trump’s while investigating Trump University and later left my lobbying firm to become Donald Trump’s personal impeachment lawyer, White House aide, and Attorney General. So don’t you DARE question my integrity.

Serious question: if the Democrats have already folded under the MAGA authoritarian regime would it look exactly like what is happening now?

I mean isn’t this what performative resistance looks like?

this is what it comes down to: we have to fight for what's right. and with all the atrocities of the past 9 months, if we can't message THAT, we deserve to take the hit.

bit by bit, the administration is laying the groundwork and actually carrying out a system of repressing democratic life in america. redefining opposition as terrorism, targeting critics, investigating civic funders.

we're so far beyond normal and, again, only eight months in.

I’m not sure about that. I have a bowl of freshly washed black grapes on the table. I can see the sun retiring for the day and how its leaving sends the clouds into bloom. I watered our plants today and said drink up, my dudes. I read a poem about thinking. I love, and I am loved.

This is why there's no point in highlighting their glaring inconsistencies. They gleefully argue in bad faith, knowing that doing so when the other side argues in good faith gives them the advantage.

We’re frogs in the pot about this, I think. We’re so hardened to eliminationist, fascist rhetoric from the right that it hardly makes a dent when a prominent host on a major network suggests exterminating a large group of people. But he did. And nobody on modern Right gives a shit.
But don’t call them Nazis.

It absolutely matters here that Pritzker was effective at sounding the alarm and plainly stating this would be unconstitutional in a profoundly radical and fundamental way, and showing he could rally practical popular opposition, which then gets spun as backing out over "legal headaches."
