Every riot is a police riot

I have never been a supporter of Donald Trump, but if Democrats cannot stop him from using the military against American civilians, I'll have no choice but to support all of his future terms and inform on my neighbors when they criticize him.

ICE came to my son’s preschool this morning. Fortunately the staff got them to fuck off, but I’m hearing of nannies being abducted from parks and the children being left unattended. I will never forgive the people who voted for this.

There’s nothing here that needs clarification. There are no explanations that would be sufficient. There should be an official announcement from the Democrats that any apologies will be rejected. What’s needed are consequences.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

Every riot is a police riot.

If you watched Andor, you know what's going on right now in Los Angeles.

Anyone else thinking this would be a good time to break into America?

"I didn't know he would do this." Yes, you did, or you voted while being completely uninformed which is just as bad. Prove you didn't know it by joining folks resisting the regime. Prove it by disavowing him. Prove it by fighting for what's right. Otherwise, just be quiet.

Natan Sharansky famously divided the world into "free societies" and "fear societies." Under Trump, the United States seems to making the sad transition from the first into the second.

The entire Republican Party has lined up solidly behind a would-be fascist dictator with a narcissistic psychopathic personality disorder. But the real problem is that Democrats spent too long backing a president who often looked and sounded old.

Whether it was Joe Biden with his halting pauses or Donald Trump with his repeated promises to destroy our democracy and plunge us into a world of tyranny and economic collapse, both candidates gave voters plenty to worry about

Funny how when a billionaire wants to give people malaria no one asks how we’re going to pay for it.

"I’ve had trouble describing the anguish I’ve experienced. Grief? Shock? Like I’m living through some sort of hallucination? Maybe the best description for what I’m feeling is moral shame: To watch the loss of your nation’s honor is embarrassing and painful." www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

It hope it’s obvious to anyone who cares about self-preservation that a regime that arrests judges, disappears legal residents into foreign gulags, and exiles children who are U.S. citizens undergoing cancer treatment will not care about whatever it is you think protects you from their cruelty.

The incompetence is part of the terror. Your life is blasted to smithereens while a MAGA ghoul smirk-shrugs, “Oops” then goes back to shitposting.

Exactly.

For too long people have jumped like marionettes every time another fear-mongering campaign starts up. But we should be infinitely more afraid of masked agents kidnapping our neighbors than of immigrants. Fascists use fear — we can’t let them. www.jphilll.com/p/we-cant-be...

Fuck everyone who voted for Trump. They are irredeemable garbage. I will never forget and I will never forgive the people who did this.

If you’re a journalist or lawmaker still planning to attend the White House Correspondents Dinner after WHCA cancelled Amber Ruffin to placate a petty tyrant, you need to dig deep and ask yourself why you’re really still going because it sure as hell isn’t to celebrate the First Amendment.

I wonder where or from whom they are getting these names. What’s the process for picking them?
