Watch how fast "no new wars under Trump" Republicans and cultist shift from being shocked and outraged about a new war in the middle east to exclaiming ad nauseam how we all should set our political differences aside and support the pres when we're a country at war. Its so predictable I hate it.

the american electoral system is basically 500,000 information-resistant people across a handful of states taking a guess and then going "haha! oops!" every two years. this process takes 18 months and costs four trillion dollars every time

Judge Wilkinson's opinion for a 3-0 panel in the Abrego Garcia case is written for the parties, but also for the public & perhaps a nod at SCOTUS. I go through it in this piece, which I think provides a much-needed boost for all of us. joycevance.substack.com/p/a-fourth-c...

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

What Americans are witnessing is the biggest self own this country has ever seen. Literally, everything that is happening was explicitly stated as a goal of his prior to getting elected yet people are still surprised. Idiots.

🎶 "I been right so long, I been done wrong Lost the fight and all I got left is this song Singing a chorus but no one here to sing along A solo to a choir of liars in the midday sun Ten years of warning, in the end — it’s ten years gone."🎶 😭

The fascist are going to do everything they promised and more. This milk toast reaction to them coming to power is exactly what they hoped for. Keep using the courts to fight bc that worked out great in the past.

I’m just a guy who voted. I will not be peaceful protesting, calling or emailing elected officials. I did those things and we still ended up with the most vile humans running this place. It’s going to be faster to let them destroy this place than to try and “save democracy”.

Americans have been carrying water for a country that only sees them as marks. Mere cattle to be milked for every penny and them some. The sad part is after they've taken everything most of them will blame their neighbor or die b4 they realize the ultra wealthy and corporations are to blame.
