Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Going to be quite frank, I do not find anything about this “king” stuff to be funny in any form, don’t think there’s a place for us to just crack wise about it and pretend it’s normal, yes we are all irony-poisoned but if we don’t draw a line here then we have no line

People literally died from Covid while claiming it doesn’t exist. There is never going to be a wake up call for some people. A lot of people. It’s not about convincing them if they can’t be convinced. IMO it’s about overwhelming them entirely with opposition.

I feel a lot of sadness for our Black elders. Dinner last night with my mom (79) and aunt (83). We talked about how they grew up in the South under Jim Crow and marched, protested, organized and FOUGHT for their rights. Now here we are again. They should be resting not preparing to fight again.

How do you “accidentally” fire someone? Can the media stop pretending these aren’t just incredibly stupid people making stupid decisions that they aren’t qualified (or legally allowed) to make?

"We think that by removing stories about ‘problematic’ subject matter, it removes those experiences from the world. The world is not getting less complicated because we talk about these subjects less; people are given less tools with which to cope with those subjects."

Denmark MP Rasmus Jarlov: "[US] has taken no casualties in Ukraine ... paid 4% of US defence budget for one year and that was too much for them ... they will surrender to Russia. We can not trust such spineless people ... If Russia invaded Poland tomorrow, they would make excuses and do nothing."

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as allude to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

Emil Bove can file it himself. It would demonstrate, in a humiliating fashion, how isolated the top echelon of DOJ is from its working attorneys and how radically their policies depart from the department’s traditions. But he could do it.
