In the middle of all the pearl clutching, self-fanning, and expostulation of "he can't do this, it's not Constitutional!" let's recall that he absolutely can, because no one is stopping him. This new "SCOTUS" ruling regarding national injunctions? Just paved the way for even more autocracy. 1/2

If you've never been called an antisemite then you are way too chill about genocide.

Israel: A political entity that has loved slaughtering defenseless women and children since time immemorial (or at least the Tanakh), that somehow becomes an unjustly oppressed people the second they pick a fight with a power strong enough to actually punch them in the mouth.

Ordinarily, I despise milquetoast centrism, but....this is a valid point. What to do?

The poor are not your enemy. The immigrant is not your enemy. Your enemy is the one telling you to hate and fear the poor, hate and fear the immigrant.

Maybe I'm the only one who needs to hear this, but... If they wanted to, they would. They haven't, so they don't.

Just putting it out there that your politics are your values in action. They should be, and are, relationship deal breakers. So I don't know who, if anyone, needs to hear this, but dump him/her/them. If they're blood family, go no contact. Protect your peace and live your values.

When he finally leaves this world, no one - not even his family - will mourn his passing. There is not one single redeeming speck of soul in him.

An all white jet being used to effect deportations. That absolutely tracks. Name. Shame.

Yet another hint I Am Getting Older Than Dirt: Just got excited to find a Yacht Rock playlist. Was positively giddy to discover the first song up was What A Fool Believes. Sigh.

Out of all the things I was never taught growing up, because "boys don't need to worry about that," one that I am most resentful about having had to figure out on my own, is how tf to fold a fitted sheet. I still struggle. And yes, not coincidentally, I am doing laundry right now.

Major news outlets: Okay with genocide. Embassy staff death, however...

And so the bill goes to the Senate. They. Want. Us. To. Die. And all so they can have even more money, money that they do not even need. A government that does not represent the interests of its people should not exist. A bunch of wig-wearing toffs would have agreed with this statement.

Another note on the restriction of the covid vaccine to elderly and immunocompromised folks: Which is it, y'all? Are they safe? Do they in point of fact work? Or are you just trying to kill them off?

I used to wonder why the US is so quick to take money from the poor and working classes, just to give it to the already fabulously wealthy, until I remembered it was established by a bunch of wealthy men who got their breeches in a twist because they were expected to pay taxes.

So now only "high risk" folks are going to be able to get the COVID vaccine. This is a control mechanism, y'all. It effectively will limit the ability of US citizens to travel to other countries, many of which won't take you if you're non vaccinated. Stuck here til we die of preventable illness.

This photo was taken during the Qatar junket he was just on. I am no trained physician, but this man is deeply unwell physically. Ecce homo, MAGA. He is unwell. Behold your king and despair.

The way in which the state of Georgia is handling Adriana Smith is a godsdamned travesty. ANY time a conservative tells you he wants to protect something, the only thing he is protecting is his ability to control it.

arguing against birthright citizenship in front of the supreme court while at the same time pitching a netflix show where immigrants compete for citizenship is such a perfect microcosm of america right now that it feels fake

New parents don't need grants. We don't need money intended to buy temporary silence and acquiescence whilst the wealthy plunder the country. We need healthcare and a system of robust social supports.
