I am going to keep screaming this for as long as I need to. The Republicans are building the infrastructure for the largest authoritarian crackdown in world history, and they are targeting the most at risk first. Civil rights is dead and has been replaced again with patriarchal white power.

I believe this means the sun will set over the entirety of the British Empire tonight for the first time in several hundred years. Chagos is the dot below India on this map. Sunset in the Pitcairns (dot in the Pacific) will happen ~40 minutes before sunrise in Akrotiri and Dhekelia (dot on Cyprus).

When I interviewed KKK leaders in Arkansas, this is what they said too. “We don’t hate anyone. We just love our own people.” Then they burned a cross.

Overnight markups in every major committee, numerous back room deals, a 1 AM rules committee hearing a full day before text was released, no official score, and now midnight floor debate two hours after they released the final text of an 1,100-page bill, with final passage coming at 4 am. My God

The WH is trying to hide the word salad, nonsensical nature of Trump’s communication. Almost like a cover-up of his cognitive deterioration. Imagine that.

I don't know if there's ever been a culture more in love with charlatans than ours. "Success" defined entirely by how good you are at tricking people into giving you money. An entire country of aspiring slop merchants

TIL: When the Original Star Wars Trilogy finally aired on Chilean TV in 2003, the network spliced custom beer commercials into the films themselves to avoid cutting to commercial breaks. these additional scenes turn Obi-Wan & Luke into raging space alcoholics who are constantly shotgunning booze.

Elon Musk changing AI to do Holocaust Denialism is 100% what everyone was warning about. And it's only being caught because Elon Musk is a ham handed loser with no real talent. A competent person behind the scenes using AI to spread propaganda will be absolutely armageddon for truth as a whole.

This kid is 15, and so has a moral clarity and uprightness that no adult elected official would or could ever have. There aren't really and never have been two sides of this issue, but if it has to be argued as a binary thing I don't see how anything less than this could seem like the side to be on.
