This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

The Republican Party are Nazis. Republican voters are either Nazis or too stupid to identify Nazis. I’m having a doomer moment; I don’t see how we can have a nation with either group retaining power.

I gotta admit, I'm starting to worry that the people who think that a former president criticizing the current president's attempt to dismantle democracy is beyond the pale of acceptable behavior aren't going to have the willpower to rebuild American state capacity and institutional legitimacy.

It’s always good when this is in the news because “large man” and “lefty” are so incongruous conceptually to the conservative brain that it causes them extreme cognitive dissidence when they learn about Ritchson’s politics

At a work event a few weeks ago where a lot of Canadians attended it was crystal clear that trumps saber rattling was a funny joke to Americans and fucking serious to the Canadians

Since I haven't seen it reported elsewhere: a LinkedIn post from last Friday from the current acting SSA chief saying he had been placed on administrative leave for "cooperating with DOGE." Over the weekend Trump elevated the guy to the top role in the agency and he deleted his LinkedIn account.

It’s actually super racist and ahistorical to say that America got beat by rural peasants in [insert war here]! They had substantial backing from [insert geopolitical foe/proxy here] and a professional military! Idk why for some reason ppl hate to admit that like the NVA had an air force

they think they lost because of inflation, because they haven’t figured out that “inflation” is just the thing people say to explain voting for Trump when they don’t want to talk to a democrat about how they are actually super into the idea of migrant concentration camps
