If he gets his police state, he will not stop at imprisoning “illegals”. He has already stated he would like to imprison US citizens without due process. He is forming a secret police force and no one will be safe.

Two things can be true: that Kirsten Gillibrand is an opportunist who doesn’t care about women and not-so-secretly harbors racist beliefs; and that Gillibrand correctly read the tea leaves with regards to Al Franken’s eight accusers, and people just never heard the “eight accusers” part.

If you remember Desert Storm and W’s Iraq war, you know CNN is not your friend. CNN does not tell the truth. There is no journalism, only bombs & blood. CNN is horny for war & will always side with the US politicians equally horny for blowing people up - especially when those people are brown

We live in a rogue and dangerous country. Do what you need to do to maintain your internal peace. Hold the core of your spirit. Pray for peace. Commit yourself to justice. And just rest.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

the thing about the "don't give them the excuse they're looking for" line is that they're not fucking waiting for one, they're not bound by permission or truth or honor or consistency or any kind of legitimacy or rules, they're not fucking vampires, you can't keep them at bay by not inviting them in

I don’t care for a sauce that’s heavy on the vinegar so most of the Louisana style are out. It was Tapatio for a while, then Sriracha, then Cholula, a brief obsession with Frank’s, a love affair with enchilada style red chili sauce, and now just crushed red peppers.

Am I imagining things or does Trump have an opportunity to deport Musk and seize his assets? My wife says TACO, but I don’t know. Maybe Musk is bluffing and Trump will just make him lay down his hand.
