"Can the president read" is going to get buried under "the president believes his predecessor was killed before assuming office and was replaced by a clone." When people talk about authoritarianism with American characteristics, these are the American characteristics.

My radical position is that congress should remove a president if he pronounces that his predecessor was assassinated and replaced by a clone

One of my favorite Bible stories is the one where that leper came to Jesus asking for healing and Jesus said why bother "we all are going to die."

not me watching sense & sensibility for the n-hundredth time bc rickman’s christopher brandon is the best love interest of all time

pretty sure EIon's ketamine use example is demonstrating that the War On Drugs was really a a war on the poor and racialized. Rich people can do whatever the fck they want

I prefer Senators who don’t tell people fearing losing their healthcare that they’re “going to die.”

The number of times I stop myself from posting by saying in my head, shut up, nobody cares

Stop voting for Senators that don’t care if you die.

The story of Alma Bowman, a disabled woman and US citizen detained by ICE, keeps getting worse She’s been in the country for 50 years. They took her wheelchair, denied her medications & threw her in a detention facility in Georgia Did you know she was a whistle blower against forced sterilization?

if we are to survive the current American authoritarian turn, then “actually learning when to shut the fuck up on the Internet” has to be among our TOP priorities on the left

I don’t want to live in a world where people are in jail and barred from work for smoking weed but an unelected man actively abusing ketamine faces no repercussions for illegally seizing all of our data and making decisions that kill hundreds of thousands of people

Presidents are not kings. Court orders are not optional.

Even before latest thing I've been telling people for months Joni Ernst is way more vulnerable next year than people think. Dems should be investing a lot right now laying the ground work in the state.

ATTN: If you work at any Smithsonian and have any info regarding Trump’s action purporting to fire the head of the National Portrait Gallery (and any related actions), please reach out from a non-work phone. I’m at crg.32 on Signal.

This is striking. We now have two Trump-appointed judges directly knocking down Trump's power to simply create emergencies by decree and then assuming extraordinarily sweeping powers on that basis. This is the thing to watch. It's key to their dictatorial project. newrepublic.com/article/1959...

Wondering how billionaires think everything will work when all us normal people are unemployed (can’t buy shit or pay taxes) or dead (b/c they’ve defunded health research and Medicaid and we can’t afford healthcare).

GenAI is short for “Generic Angry Incel.”

Congress can end this tomorrow but Congress is full of white supremacists, cowards, fascists, collaborators, & opportunists. Continue badgering your congresscritter as part of a diversity of tactics. This is only going go get worse the longer we allow it continue.

Garlicky Roast Potatoes with Oregano and Feta are #RecipeOfTheDay! They’re wonderful with slow-roast lamb, and also with nothing more than a fried egg. In fact, I can’t think of a bad way to eat them! www.nigella.com/recipes/garl...
