I never thought I could be more disappointed in our president or country. He proved me spectacularly wrong. A disgrace that we'll never recover from, imo.

Honestly, I bounced off Monkey Man in the first 20 minutes. Not really sure why it didn't grab me. I think I'll give it a second chance.

And what happens when the Nazis ignore or flout a federal court? What are the remedies?
1. Fines; which we all know will not be felt or just ignored.
2. Ruling of contempt of court and judge ordering arrests. The problem with this is that order goes to the US Marshals; under control of the Nazis.

Not to mention that when the administration inevitably defies federal judge rulings, the only mechanism by which they can be held accountable are the US Marshals; who are under the control of the Executive Branch. Welcome to the Imperial Presidency.

...an even more cruel murder machine out of the remains of the systems they gutted. And they're going to aim it right at you and your neighbors, eventually. Unless you submit, or collaborate. Good luck to us all.

...on the order of a Federal Judge? The U.S. Marshal's. Who's in charge of the Marshal's office? The DOJ. ... ... I'll wait.

...thanks to the disastrous ruling this summer by The Supreme Court on Presidential Immunity. Welcome to the Imperial Presidency. Good luck to us all.

Court rulings and wins no longer matter. There is no mechanism for the courts to enforce their orders. U.S. Marshals report to the DOJ which is purged of anyone who isn't a loyalist. The Executive Branch is now effectively a monarchy placed above the two other branches. Co-equal rule is gone.../

If you think a fascist president in charge of the enforcement mechanisms that back up the court orders will comply then you're delusional. He has immunity bestowed upon him by his collaborators on the Supreme Court. Welcome to the Nazi States of America. Stop paying taxes.

Dems have not been a real party since at least 2008.
Now they're just a fundraising and money laundering organization that exists only to silence voices on the left and in the working class. They perform hollow acts of opposition to the right wing only when it serves the above priorities.

I highly recommend Station 11. A melancholic but strangely heartwarming meditation on the importance of art as connective tissue between small, isolated communities after the fall of modern civilization following a pandemic. Might not be what you're looking for but it gave me some hope and comfort.

When boot is your main source of nutrition, being told you could lick something tastier can feel like a threat.

Wild that Jalopnik unapologetically refers to it as a Nazi Salute while NYT and Washington Post, the "bastions of democracy" equivocate and dither over what is obvious to anyone with eyes and half a working brain

It is intolerable to capitalists that any square inch of land not be turned the task of siphoning wealth upwards from the most vulnerable

They want people with disabilities to go away; and by go away, I mean die. Nazis in 1930's Germany started their purges with the disabled. First step is to remove them from the workforce wherever they can.
