Trump & MAGA - Keep ‘em dumb.

Knowledge is power. Republicans don’t want you educated because they know you’d never vote for an agenda as awful as theirs if you’d developed critical thinking skills and had the ability to fact-check all their lies.

Just one more step towards full on fascism.

one of the ways in which the madisonian logic of the american system doesn't seem to be working is that ambition *isn't* countering ambition. there are all these lawmakers who just, don't give a shit, even when giving a shit could propel them to political fame and success
seriously, I understand it would be a huge gamble but the right play from some dissident republican senator has a decent shot of making that person president
i’m honestly just more amazed at how nobody on the right has had any issue with it at all. not one voice.

The people Attorney General Bondi is calling “terrorists” have had no trial and no chance to defend themselves. We do not know who they are. Ignoring the Constitution does not make us safe. It puts us all in peril.

They started with the undocumented, then they went after visa holders and permanent residents, now it's naturalized citizens.

No leader should by his decision create so much disunity and anger in his own party. That alone is political malpractice.
