In a way, it is kinda poetic that the country's inability to accept a black woman directly led to its downfall as a global power

Really looking forward to Jeff Bezos' forceful public condemnation of Trump's tariffs since he is so committed to "free markets" that he made a rule that every opinion piece published in the Washington Post must support "free markets" For some reason, Bezos hasn't said anything yet. Must be busy.

I'm not concerned about the undocumented immigrant with some parking and speeding tickets. I'm concerned about the American citizen with 34 felony convictions who is driving America right into a fucking ditch.

In my view, the political system in America has already collapsed. Schumer’s move was the coup-de-grace for the Democrats. It’s up to us. There are things we can do. It’s time to rise up. Zoom today—Noon PT / 3PM ET for upgraded subscribers to discuss. www.mind-war.com/p/collapse-t...

There is a systematic effort to make the word “Nazi” seem like just another insult wielded by oversensitive libs. But Elon Musk is not just a Nazi. He’s Dylann Roof in the West Wing hacking America to be more white, patriarchal & violent. Why it matters. www.mind-war.com/p/he-is-not-...

We’ve reached the part of the dystopian thriller where Canada is advising its citizens not to come to America for fear of horrific human rights abuses. Effectively, America is getting thrown into a vat of acid, alive. The question is: What Lies Beneath? www.mind-war.com/p/what-lies-...

"Many times when Putin and Trump are interacting, Putin’s actually making fun of him. It’s just completely lost in the translation. I can give lots of episodes of this or he’s goading him and urging him onto something because he’s trying to kind of see how he will react."

Seeing those men being paraded in shackles, heads shaved, heads down sent to a random country and we have no list of names, proof of criminality, or even proof of nationality is terrifying. El Salvador agreeing to keep them as long as the US keeps paying is terrifying. It could be any one of us next

People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc “national security,” YOU can be disappeared.

Trump is bulldozing the Education Department, which helps homeless and disabled kids gain access to school, while he does a car commercial at the White House for the richest man in the world. Robber barons are waging class warfare on the rest of us.

For the rest of my life, I will never understand how a country full of people busting their asses, working paycheck to paycheck, allow the fucking richest guy on Earth to call them "parasites" while calling the Social Security we contributed to our entire lives "a Ponzi scheme." Un-fucking-real.

I haven't been able to bring myself to read much of the Times or Post since the election. The framing of these stories illustrates why. Headlines this bad just shut me down as a potential reader.
