I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.
It's not what beliefs you hold, but how you hold them.

You should consider it a badge of honor that your moral courage got you expelled from that squalid den of iniquity.
Some personal news:
I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting.

When people say "if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear." the correct response is:
"I need privacy, not because my actions are questionable, but because your judgement and intentions are."

Square up to this, folks. At some point, and not too far off, we're all going to have to. Best we do it sober, and together, while we still have each other left to lose.
I don't know that he wants to genocide the population. But I do know that he wants our government to be a corporate dictatorship. And mass genocide is the most likely result of such a government. Those who can't "input" have no use in a corporation, or corporate government. Its that simple.

People almost can't accept this, but the only cosmic punishment for being a person like that is ... being a person like that. If you want something more, perhaps a cathartic sense of moral balance restored through directed, reciprocal harm, it will have to be delivered by like-minded people.
Absolute blasphemy. This is not prayer. It is shameless sacrilege and God will punish these white-bodied satanic spawn for all their unforgivable evil.

Maybe media will at some point acknowledge that the man who wants to meet with war criminals rather than victims aims to be a war criminal, that the man who wants to pardon child rapists is a child rapist rather than a man who seeks to protect victims.
This isn't rocket science.

Exactly. Anyone who says it "just doesn't feel right" can view it like this:
If Dems don't gerrymander, the tactic will never be taken off the table via nation-wide independent districting.
Making it primarily the province of GOP powerbrokering means they'll swing that cudgel 'til doomsday.

Voters in Lincoln Nebraska want to know How Much Fascism Costs
Question for Mike Flood: With $450 million being allocated to Alligator Alcatraz, and ICE burning through $8.4 million a day to illegally detain people—How much does it cost for fascism? How much do the tax payers have to pay for a fascist country?

Explaining away even the most horrific acts of violence by saying some people are just wicked is understandable—but it won’t help us build a safer society.

Chris, as someone who used to litigate mass human rights cases in the early aughts, it becomes really obvious at certain points in history that people just turn away from horror— and that is what allows it to continue.

Being brown and free is a serious crime in MAGAworld.
He arrived in court to continue the process of getting his green card. He has done EVERYTHING LEGALLY in our fucked up system. But masked goons arrested him and now the regime is claiming he's being detained for serious crimes, which they won't name because there are none.

Yes, rule of law had been in organ failure for quite a long time, but now it's dead and MAGAts are feasting on the corpse.
New, from me: until recently the big question was “what happens when Trump defies the courts?”
The answer, as it turns out, is that SCOTUS will support him.
The new question is what are the consequences for American democracy and governance?🧵

Predators DO NOT dehumanize their victims. They do not have that power. Nobody does.
They *denigrate* them.
By so doing, they dehumanize *themselves*.
Rhetorical power is narrative power. Stop ceding it.

Change your vocabulary and stop using the language of the predator.
1. Underage woman = child
2. Sex scandal (involving children) = rape
3. Sex with child = child rape
4. Sex trafficking = rape trafficking
5. Pedophile = child rapist

Don’t re-platform Trump’s bullshit, FFS.
If I wanted to see it I’d be on that platform.
Also by rebroadcasting Trump’s message YOU’RE AMPLIFYING IT
and aiding him.
You’re making the same mistake as the MSM, whose creature Trump is.
