If you've ever been to a naturalization ceremony, you know they're filled with people whose palpable love of this country is twenty times stronger than the pinched "patriotism" of any native-born MAGA chud.
Just unspeakable assholery.

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

Love how Democrats are judged by the most unhinged posts of random weirdos but Republicans are never called to answer for the actions of their elected representatives.
Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, just introduced a bill to ban Americans from holding dual citizenship. The bill says that to “preserve the integrity of national citizenship, allegiance to the United States must be undivided.” It’s called the Exclusive Citizenship Act.

The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet.

The Trump administration keeps canceling reports about the economy.
The latest the GDP report was just pushed back. This follows the canceling of the October jobs report and the inflation report.
He has no proof of his “great economy”.

i'd say it did. the public put a group of thieves, vandals and extremists in office last november and they promptly went about destroying everything that might work to limit their ability to loot, steal and inflicting pain on the people they hate
This whole NYT account about the weaponization of DOJ is beyond disturbing. Kinda feels like the US government fell in January.

Wild to me how many headlines I saw this week celebrating the U.S. Supreme Court rejecting Kim Davis's bid to end marriage equality, when the Texas Supreme Court just decided that state court judges are free to refuse to perform weddings for same-sex couples from here on out
The Conservative War On Marriage Equality Never Needed Kim Davis
The Supreme Court rejected Davis’s bid to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges. But in Texas and elsewhere, anti-gay activists are chipping away at the right that case protects.

Who was it that used to refer to the RW masses as "programmable meatbags"?
They were told inflation is the Most Important Thing, so they dutifully echoed that back. Then they were told immigration is the Most Important Thing, so they swung that way, like a school of fish.

De-Americanizing global trade will be Donald Trump's biggest legacy, and our children's children will still be paying the price long after we're all dead
Carney: "We can't control the trade policy of the US. We recognize it has fundamentally changed from the policy in the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, & it's a situation where US has tariffs against every trading partner... what we we can control is developing new partnerships, including w/econ giants of Asia"
