Thought crimes.

With Marine Le Pen being imprisoned for embezzlement, it almost makes you think the far right are all just crooked self-serving grifters who can’t be trusted. I'm just glad we don’t have anyone like that in this country…

This is part of fascism. “First they fascinate the fools, then the muzzle the intelligent.”

UNBELIEVABLE and draconian. Why do sane people have to keep finding out when the insane are the ones effing around.

You truly could not make it up. You could not.

As President Trump continues to attack the legal profession and the rule of law, all 17 partners at Elias Law Group have signed an open letter calling on the Attorney General to oppose attacks on the legal profession. elias.law/newsroom/pre...

Where is the mainstream news media on all this? Is this even getting coverage in state/local press?

Oh, my. Grok comes through again. Even AI sees Trump/Russia.

never give one inch of ground on Reagan, a monster for whose grave even the most fetid piss is too good

Every time a career lawyer is pushed out, you can assume they were told to do something illegal.

God, this is like watching a session of the Chinese Communist Party. The boasting. The fawning. The sycophancy. The tawdriness. The lies. The conceit. The arrogance. My flesh creeps. The GOP disgusts me. The Democrats are useless.

The way Trump, is invoking wokeness-- moving from targeting Black people to directly targeting trans people is just astounding.

BREAKING - Trump just asked Congress for a death penalty for anyone who murders a police officer Says the man who PARDONED over 400 violent insurrectionists who assaulted the Capitol Police on his behalf on January 6 -- with 4 officers ultimately dying

BREAKING - Trump tries to claim he'll fight childhood cancer Says the man who literally just DESTROYED federal funding for fighting childhood cancer

Trump says for farmers "there may be a little bit of an adjustment period," admitting that they are going to be absolutely screwed by his trade war. He ends with "have a lot of fun" which is an interesting way of saying "I may just drive you into bankruptcy, too bad suckers."

NO KINGS

“The days of unelected bureaucrats are over” Uhm….

People say they want more study into the effects of puberty blockers and HRT, but then mock actual studies into it.

US Rep Al Green removed by Trump's Nazi while others sat and watched or jeer at him. He stood up to Trump and told him he had no mandate to disrupt Medicaid for millions of people. Make a list of which politicians you are going to keep. So far it's a short list. #3E #SOTU

Trump 10 minutes later, "Free speech is back"

Yep.

Tariff wars and robber barons, white supremacy and Comstockery, sewage in the water and measles on the march. Truly, he has Made America Gilded Again.

It would be interesting if some brave journalists would ask Marco Rubio weather he stands by his 2020 SSCI report co-authored with Mark Warner on Russia’s interference in the 2016 election rollcall.com/2020/08/18/s...

Ready Fire Aim is a lousy way to govern.

Oliver Darcy has some very good points here

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.” There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

This is extremely upsetting. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Aligning with Russia sure as shit ain’t “America first.” youtu.be/5HJviwBVb-E?...

Rep. Jamie Raskin said Sunday that the Justice Dept. made a "deeply corrupt bargain" dropping the charges against NYC Mayor Eric Adams. "The Justice Department is at war with its own attorneys, its own prosecutors, and the whole episode is just saturated with corruption,"

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

Republicans may not have been able to bring down the price of food, but at least they’ve made it more terrifying to fly than it was after 9/11. That’s true leadership.

Union Square rally.

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

Big, growing crowd just west of the U.S. Capitol protesting Trump, Musk and DOGE on President’s Day. “Hey Congress, grow a spine,” they shout, gathering for a rally around the reflecting pool.

Why are Bezos, Zuckerberg, Musk, Pichai and Tim Cook visiting and giving money to Trump ? Because they are in “The Race “ to become the dominant platform in the world. Amazon/Anthropic vs FB/LLama vs Google/Gemini vs Twitter/Grok, vs IPhones/ChatGpt is the penultimate global power war ever.

it's going to be insanely funny when this happens to coding in our lifetimes

So there’s a civil war in maga between the people who hate immigrants but are hypocritical and want to make an exception for good immigrants or ones who will work for them and those who want to consistently hate all of them and bar all of them from the country. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
