Periodically I ask if anyone has seen MAGA portrayed in fictional Hollywood movies and shows. Or maybe even a new play you've seen.
Unlike Nazi Germany's film industry, America's so far seems very shy about portraying the regime and its cult as they are.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Fellow Asians & POC: Proximity to White Supremacy is NOT protection. Vance, married to a daughter of Indian immigrants, a path opened by Civil Rights Acts won by Black leaders who taught none of us are free until all of us are. If even the VP's wife is not exempt from racist hate, why think you are?

It’s very funny to me that countries are trying to pass laws banning teens from social media until they’re older and can “handle it” as if the last decade hasn’t been about watching rich middle aged men nuke their brains on Twitter and then run the USA via shitpost.
Dude. Yes. Alito and Thomas are of course the standout examples, but all of the Republican justices have tells in their writing and their questioning indicating that they are, to varying degrees, marinating their brains in dumb bitch juice
My theory, fwiw, is that Supreme Court Justices are not immune to Twitter brain poisoning. I suspect all six have horrific information environments and have therefore lost the ability to understand the people who don't agree with them.

Kagan's line of questioning here was pretty much Gorsuch's music to invoke the nondelegation doctrine, which he then jumped in and did.
Remember: this case isn't about making Trump king. This case is part of FedSoc's generational project to destroy the fed gov't's regulatory power.

Kagan: formal arguments should not blind us to the real-world realities of what our decisions do.
When we place all these agencies under complete presidential control...we are left with "a president with control over everything, including over much of the law-making" in this country.

More than that, his crew threatened to open fire on the murderers. He rescued civilians, returned to base to refuel, flew back, and rescued more civilians. Then he denounced the crimes to his HQ.
For all this he received death-threats throughout his life.

How many copies of your book has to sell to make you royalties? How much does your book that you started in 2020 cost to print now? How many royalties pay the rent? If ours is a full time job, pay us like it so we can save for retirement! Or at least pay our bills.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’
