If you don't want to be compared to the Gestapo, one neat trick is to not engage in a campaign of terror around the country wherein you kidnap people off the streets to slave dungeons in accommodation of an autocratic fascist and his nationalist movement's desire for racial purity.

I wrote this nearly 3 yrs ago & it's genuinely hard to believe that the "fascism debate" is still ongoing given all that has transpired since then. It's clear—both tactically & ideologically—what is unfolding before us. Nothing to gain at this point by continuing to give the benefit of the doubt.

Having been at AAPOR, I can tell you that this is the single least popular Trump policy out of more than 250 polled. YouGov has it at -74 net. There are STDs that are better liked.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 63 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Not to beat a dead horse, but this is the kind of shit that Democratic Party leaders should be screaming about from the rooftops. We're turning into a gestapo state, and most Americans have no fucking idea that it's happening.

The case in Georgia is precisely what happened in Gilead. This scenario played out during an episode of the oppressive, dystopian TV drama The Handmaid’s Tale (Season 3) — based on the novel by Margaret Atwood. The state keeps a fetus alive after the mother is shot and declared baindead.

#ICYMI: Disclosure forms show that U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi sold between $1 million and $5 million worth of shares on April 2. That day, after the market closed, Trump’s “Liberation Day” press conference sent the market tumbling. 📽️: @josesepulveda.bsky.social

It’s literally nothing more than the biggest theft of money from the 99% to the 1%. They’re all grifters and scammers, nothing more. If the harm being done wasn’t so catastrophic, this entire admin would be comical.

I will never forget that the week Qatar decided to bribe the president of the United States with a plane, CNN decided to focus on the age and health of an ex-president. Shame.

This is absolutely incredible -- Kristi Noem repeatedly refuses to acknowledge that Trump brandished an doctored image of Abrego Garcia's tattoos, prompting Eric Swalwell to have a staffer of his brandish an image of them right in her face. Totally dystopian.

Republicans have just proposed defunding Planned Parenthood nationwide. In doing so, they are telling women and people across the country that our healthcare doesn’t matter and that we are undeserving of care. It’s time to stop this bill in its tracks.

No matter how many times we say Fox News isn’t real news, it doesn’t matter—because their viewers believe it is. Watch: It shows exactly how they’re screwing all of us—you & me—because we’re stuck dealing with people who fall for disinformation. And their own viewers, because they believe the lies.
