Trumpists will continue to be furious at any dissent no matter how much power they steal. That’s because the administration is premised on pathological insecurity. They’re shitty people, they know it, and they will never stop resenting being seen as shitty people.

Like many born into slavery, abolitionist Frederick Douglass never knew his birthday. His mother called him “little valentine” and so he chose to celebrate on Valentine’s Day. Happy birthday, Frederick Douglass 💜

What if there were a coup, the US government fell to a drug-addled oligarch who seized control of our money, secrets, and levers of power, and Corporate media did not report on it?

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here.

We don't have much investigative reporting anymore. We just have reaction channels. For every one person out there actually trying to find out the truth, there's 1,000 others just adding noise and pushing political agendas.

This is a 5 alarm fire. They're going to pull down all publicly available data, studies, guidance, etc that involves LGBTQ people so when the worst happens to us, no one will know. They're actively trying to erase us. gizmodo.com/cdc-ordered-...
