Some clarity.

"In other countries, this would be called 'an authoritarian coup.' In America, mealy-mouthed officials call our transition into a mafia state 'deeply troubling' and do little to curb the damage." -- HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT (2020)

Autocracy would not work with our system of governance called federalism. It's a system of governance that divides power between a national government and state governments. US Constitution recognizes system of dual sovereignty no king

Report: You Live In An Embarrassing Country

Took 7 voting cycles and 42 years to create ths damage McConnell brought to the senate.

A good thing to do if you are flailing a bit right now (as who is not??) is to get in touch with your own values, the things that you find life affirming and necessary in the world. Read some inspiring works about things you value - labor solidarity, scientific achievement, social justice.

Whether it’s women he assaults, people he defrauds, police officers defending the Capitol, or countries invaded by murderous dictators, Trump always blames the victims.

They’re going to try and prosecute their political enemies

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

One of the critical differences between Hungary and Poland versus what we are seeing in the United States right now is the complete dismantling of the administrative state. That didn't happen in Hungary. It didn't happen in Poland. Hell, it didn't even happen in Nazi Germany or Fascist Italy.

Classic con structure: the big returns are coming!

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was never held accountable for Samoa. If/when he is responsible for diseases spreading, this time around, he better be indicted when we take over. He's only here because once again, we ignored the crimes of wealthy white men.

i am going to fucking lose my mind, this is not an actual proposal, it’s brain poisoned nonsense drawn up by some musk toady on twitter, it assumes savings that are totally implausible and being contested in federal court, stop responding as if they’re real

BREAKING: GOP Senator Susan Collins says she’ll vote AGAINST Kash Patel’s nomination for FBI Director: “Mr. Patel’s recent political profile undermines his ability to serve in the apolitical role of Director of the FBI.”

The Democrats are running scared. They have security if necessary. The American people are out there among militarized cops. We have to shield the protesters with our bodies. We are willing to hold the line for freedom. The alternative is a non starter. The courts are now only defense.

Don't give me any more empty promises or white toothed grins. The American people are toothless, hungry with a home down by the river. We are the most powerful when we are motivated by hunger and have no hope. This is a joke right. It's not really happening. The coup is complete

"North Carolina senator Thom Tillis told people that the FBI warned him about 'credible death threats' when he was considering voting against Pete Hegseth’s nomination for defense secretary... "Tillis ultimately provided the crucial 50th vote to confirm." www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

JUST IN: Kash Patel confirmed as FBI Director by the U.S. Senate in a 51-49 vote

Senate Republicans confirmed Kash Patel without even ASKING him about his unexplained "consulting" for Qatar, continued stake in a Chinese company accused of humans rights crimes, or a payment by a Russian propagandist. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
