This is not a president of the United States. This is a hateful demagogue and pathological liar who is exploiting the office to sow division and dismantle our democratic system.

Mike Lee is fecal. For his written thoughts on the horror in Minnesota alone, any healthy republic would immediately expel him from its national legislature. That's all. That's the tweet.

never going to stop being pissed at the amount of time spent litigating “are the people who won’t stop talking about racism the real racists?” during the ten years leading up to an American president attempting to enact a program of domestic ethnic cleansing

They still can't bring themselves to use the actual world to describe what this is. See, you have to remember. You're totally overreacting, & it’s only actual Corruption if it comes from the Champagne region of France. Otherwise, it’s just sparkling Potential. bsky.app/profile/mcop...

Beyond failing to recognize the asymmetry of the extremist turn, the factors the author names: anonymity in social media, remote work, and declining civic activities, are all equally present in many countries, such as Canada, which have not seen any rise in radicalization or political violence.

Trumpism proceeds by the successive breaking of taboos. Each time a new one is broken, the previous one is normalized, made to look not so bad by comparison. The cuffing of Padilla was a red-line moment. https://trib.al/bndDH7H

All because the secret sauce in meritocracy is oppressive hierarchy as the source of truth and authority. Knowledge, talent, skill, etc. upset their world so much they're willing to kill the planet and every living thing on it to preserve the illusion.

Fun fact: in the 1960s, Civil Rights protestors were given literal classes on nonviolent protest; they didn't all just spontaneously know what to do. So, if you're planning on showing up, this weekend: read this comic. And if you're staying home, signal-boost it/link it around.

The “and another vice chair” in question is Malcolm Kenyatta, a Pennsylvania State Representative. He is an out queer Black Millenial from North Philly: the fact he was elected co-chair should be an entire story in itself. His erasure from the narrative is a huge marker of what’s ailing Dems.

Cannot express enough how much what happened at that meeting three weeks ago has changed things on the ground. Courthouse arrests started within days, then check-in arrests. Worksite raids, once rare, began happening daily. Detention has skyrocketed over capacity. People are going missing.

the word "constitution" does not appear in this article nor does any indication that the Trump regime's actions might be illegal it does however note "White House officials maintain that the president is ... standing up for 'law and order' as Democrats go soft on violent agitators."

Really important story - army officials asked soldiers to identify themselves if they don't agree with Trump's politics that way he'd get only supportive soldiers in uniform during his political rally on base. Heavier soldiers were also barred from participating.

the idea of fingerwagging your way into protest discipline is deeply delusional for a number of reasons, chief among which is that the cops' decisions are among the biggest determinants of how protests ago. it's like being perplexed at people for using umbrellas while ignoring the weather

Let's be totally clear: "immigration" as a concept is bullshit. It isn't more than 100 or so years old. Human beings have been moving around this planet however they wanted to for millenia before a small handful of folks decided that wasn't OK for some reason.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Donald Trump’s deployment of the military in Los Angeles over the objection of California leaders is an abuse of power and a dangerous escalation. It’s what you would see in authoritarian states and it must stop. Americans have the right to speak out and peacefully protest.
