History buffs will know that every authoritarian leader eventually converges on some version of: "I am the state. I can not break the law, I am the law, the law is instantiated in me." Our march to authoritarianism so far has been excruciatingly by-the-book. Hitting every beat. No surprises.

a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job

Mother jones actually broke this story. The Washington Post failed to mention that, and in fact, took credit for the scoop.

Crockett: I am tired of the white tears. When you compare me to Marjorie Taylor Greene or me to Lauren Boebert, there is no comparison. So the only people that are crying are the mediocre white boys that have been beaten out by people that historically have had to work so, so much harder

Remember to celebrate Black History Month and the incredible contributions that African Americans have made to this country in spite of the severe obstacles placed in their path. Keep this tradition alive in the face of our Orange Dictator and continue to teach that all people deserve respect.

The most detainees ever held in Guantanamo was 779. Trump’s plan for 30,000 is inhumane. With numbers anywhere near that level, it will meet entirely the definition of a concentration camp. 1/

Sorry, America. We can feed the elderly with Meals on Wheels or we can let billionaires cheat on their taxes. We can't do both.

I spent nine hours at the Capitol insurrection alone. I made a documentary. My film was used by the #January6thcommittee and in the second impeachment trial. Please watch it before it is erased from history.

I’m confused how awarding 4 years of back pay in a lump sum to 8,000 service members who were discharged for refusing to get vaccinated is good for the morale of the other 99% of troops who spent the last 4 years working their asses off on active duty for that same pay.

“The Democrats didn’t do enough on Gaza, so I withheld my vote to make a statement.” “Well, Trump won and now he’s gonna destroy Gaza.” “Yep. We’re paying the price for the Democrats’ incompetence.” “‘We?’ The Gazans are paying the price, not us” Pause. “I needed to make a statement.”

Very interesting what's happening on instagram right now. Do a search for anything "democrat" and then anything "republican" and see what happens.
