I regret to inform you that finding out 4 justices are completely down to break every law and crown an all-out dictator and every ruling comes down to two extremely conservative judges bought and paid for by the wealth class is far, far from good news.

For me, fighting fascism has nothing to do with thinking I’ll win. I don’t fight because there’s an inevitable outcome, I fight because I couldn’t live with myself if I didn’t do something.

Back in the mid-20th century, the FBI could place an individual under surveillance solely for being LGBTQ. This is what enabled the anti-queer witch hunts of the McCarthy era. Now, DHS permits surveillance of LGBTQ people again. Just being queer makes you a suspect. www.advocate.com/politics/dhs...

1/ So everyone remembers this line of demeaning horse plop from Texas Rep. Ima Dingus, right? It was yesterday. Like many other Republicans right now, he's basically pulling the racist, Reagan-era "welfare queens" nonsense and giving it another run. So I looked at SNAP data for his district.

Reporters with access to agency heads should absolutely be asking them to own each and every one of these cuts on the record. Because the Senate-confirmed cabinet members are the ones gutting their own departments, right?

Again, folks seem not to grasp how much this is a total collapse of the Constitutional order. A random private citizen is running the "Cabinet" meeting of POTUS & the Principal Officers of the Executive Departments, & going around unplugging large portions of the government. And we're all just 🤷‍♂️

This video came out in August. Everything done in plain sight. Too many people in positions of power sold us out to line their own pockets or maintain power. And most of those people are still unwilling to do a damn thing about it. So much suffering. So much blood on so many hands.

House Republicans just voted to gut Medicaid, which covers 1 in 5 Americans overall, including 41% of births and 63% of nursing home care. They also just voted to gut SNAP, on which 41 million food insecure Americans rely. This won’t just harm people. This will kill people. They own this.

At some point alot of people in the news decided that every American political event happens in a dimension absent of any question of morality and can only be spoken about in terms of who scored a “political touchdown” and not 150,000 additional children going hungry because that’s “fair”

Understand what's happening. MAGAs are gutting: •Medicaid—which 60M Americans rely on to survive •SNAP—which 40M Americans rely on to eat •School Lunch—which 30M kids rely on daily •Housing Assistance—which 5 million families rely on to live ALL to cut $4.5T in taxes for 800 billionaires BARBARIC

Exactly. If you're teaching a course on, say, Political Theory and all the assigned authors are straight white men THEN IT'S NOT AN ACCURATE COURSE. It's an incontrovertible fact that other people have theories about politics, and that those theories have shaped our world!
