Make on mistake that we are witnessing the dismantling of American democracy; piece by piece.

Truly, we live on the dumbest timeline

It's the American Fascist movement, in the most literal sense possible.

MAGA is reskinned Nazis, and I don't know how to be more clear on that.

Current moment feels incredibly surreal and powerful, and also terrifying.

Ron Swanson moment

The only story that matters is that this is that the dismantling of the United States is a Republican Party operation.

Euphemism has made political journalism unreadable.

I am so sick of this shit. It’s a Sieg Heil. It’s a Nazi salute. Anyone who sees it knows. It’s ridiculous that legal departments presumably won’t let media call it what it is. Bannon made “a provocative gesture that resembled the salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally”? Fuck off.

Ukraine was very corrupt when run by Putin's stooges, and Zelenskyy has been more aggressive than prior leaders about addressing it, for the simple reason that they can't afford to waste resources. Putin, on the other hand, is estimated to have looted $200 billion. www.nytimes.com/2023/09/18/w...

Of all the quotes, this one might be the most depraved.

Heck of a job, Comey.

An entire generation of only confirming a Republican FBI directors really paying dividends.

This can be arranged?

And speech is constitutive of action: there is no foreign policy apart from the language in which it is explained, enacted, justified. The US head of state describing Canada and Ukraine in adversarial terms is a speech act: it makes them adversaries.

Many have empowered the stupidest, most venal people imaginable; so now they’re all propping each other like Bear Sterns and AIG.

Hard not to notice how social media platforms have been pickling users in a right wing propaganda environment, for at least a decade now.

Finally, someone wrote how war actually peace.
