Seems like saving Democracy is going to come down to a handful of GOP representatives more afraid of a mob of angry seniors in their district than one angry senior in the White House.

another great example along with Wired and Teen Vogue of how real journalism these days can be a lot braver at outlets where no one is trying to get in good with the White House press secretary they’re out here with us, reporting on what’s happening to us all, instead of trying to get inside access

Our white supremacist rapist president had his unqualified, white supremacist, drunken rapist Defense secretary fire generals and attorneys on a Friday evening for the crimes of not being white and/or not being loyalist "yes" men willing to sign off on crimes.

The mental leaps, the logical pretzels, the sheer effort that some people in the media are going to have to come up with to avoid naming the most obvious fucking reason in the universe all this stuff is happening

the reason that the american right are leaning hard into their immorality - which they themselves understand very clearly to be immoral - is, at the bottom of it, they don’t believe in anything.

conditioning disaster aid that californians have paid into simply to force policies on californians who don’t want them is as straightforward an abrogation of the spirit of the union as one can imagine and red states had better be prepared to accept retributions in kind

Fuck Elon Musk and fuck how he uses Starlink as a weapon. (The Biden administration should have nationalized it).

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

So the President has abruptly fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Charles Q. Brown Jr., and is replacing him with a retired three star general, Dan Caine. This portends a future grave crisis as the President attempts to restructure the military into one personally loyal to him.

I've spent a lot of time rambling around Oregon's second district, which takes up two thirds of our state and is as rural and Republican as it gets... if they're shouting "tax the rich" and "tax Elon" in LaGrande, something is definitely happening here.

Unfortunately you have to primary everyone, not just because they don't have what it takes to fight, but because they don't have what it takes to rebuild. Last thing you want is them to win by default and then tread water until the next Trump comes to power

Cheers to who ever sprayed “real patriots kill Nazis” in giant letters at this intersection I am sitting at. Glad some people are getting the right messaging down.

I think humanitarian aid as an extension of soft imperial power is good and "have free elections and we'll cure your tuberculosis" is the best game in town.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Investing in economic growth. Funding our schools. Improving the services working families and the vulnerable need. We cannot compromise on them, especially when we face the uncertainty of the federal government’s haphazard “ready, fire, aim” tactics toward everyday Americans.

Media shying away from calling things what they are will be our downfall if this continues. What this should say is: Bannon whipped up CPAC crowd by talking about possibility of Trump unconstitutionally staying in office for third term—and concluded his speech with a Nazi salute like Musk did.

The past ten years has just been the same clutch of morons and apologists insisting that Trump would never cross that line and then shuffling along with him to insist that he would never cross that next one.
