Another example: one of my ex-bosses, a House Member, would hire off-duty cops for some events in his home district, and I worried about field hearings. But we never even considered the possibility we would have to provide our own security to protect against federal LEOs. This is nakedly fascist.

We drill into military officers that Members of Congress have Constitutional oversight rights, Members outrank four-stars in protocol, and even Congressional staffers are treated like generals/admirals. To see sworn federal officers manhandle and handcuff a U.S. Senator... I'm still shook up.

With all of Greta’s privilege, she stands for what’s right every time. Every time she’s asked about herself she answers by redirecting straight to the people she’s standing up for. ‘How are you?’ ‘Better than the people in Palestine, specifically Gaza.’ 👇 = smug bullshit from a small mind

The world will eventually run out of fossil fuels, so our choice is really between stopping their use on our own terms now or being forced to find alternatives in the future while having a terrible climate, tens of millions of deaths from air pollution and climate disasters, higher sea level, etc.

"So here's the plan -- we impose massive tariffs on the nations that sell us food." "Hmm." "But it's OK, because we just rely more on states like California that grow a lot of the same things." "Oh, I guess that ..." "And then we go to war with California."

In 1936, FDR closed out his re-election campaign by bragging to a massive crowd at Madison Square Garden that “organized money” hated him “and I welcome their hatred.” He took 60% of the vote in a 523-8 electoral college landslide. FDR knew having the right enemies could be a useful thing.
