Should I read Wolf Hall before watching?

If the democrats don't start rallying behind a bold and progressive leader, opposition will be taken over by a "lesser of two evils" option. If we wait until things turn apocalyptic, desperate people will put their faith in the wrong person. We need a vocal leader, NOW, building trust and resolve.

Donald Trump is torturing people on US soil.

If Jesus had focused more on kitchen table issues and less on unpopular outcasts like lepers and prostitutes, he might have won more support from white working-class Judeans.

This feels like bounty hunting.

Damn, I feel seen #ishedeadyet

They are being abducted and sent to concentration camps. What are going to do about this, DFW? Is this really who we are?

When they ban abortions and dismantle sexual violence prevention resources it’s pretty clear how they expect their desired baby boom to happen.

We really really really need to have consequences for lying.

What an absolutely vile person.

People need to be hearing about this shit every single day. Zoom in on literally anything here.

This is so heartbreaking and makes nothing better and no one safer. It is the punitive act of an administration that values fealty over human health.

DOGE is a criminal conspiracy to defraud the people of the United States

"Eradicated" My family remembers hearing this in the original Turkish

It looks like the Trump regime is trying to hide ICE flights from the public tracker.

Part of eugenics is wanting disabled people to not be visible to society.

This, from the Holocaust Memorial Museum.

This is exactly what Democrats should be doing!! You’ve got power and status so leverage it. More of this!!!!

This is horrifying.

following along with the play by play at rumeysa ozturk's hearing leads me to one conclusion: LET HER GO, YOU FASCIST FUCKS

You don’t have to be particularly sharp to decipher the code here. But if you need someone to say it, this is a major technology company and a sizable defense and intelligence contractor publicly declaring, with only the thinnest patina of deniability, that its cause is white nationalism.

Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, it’s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.

Say it with us: “constitutional crisis”

Why not AM radio? Or smoke signals? Seniors are not going to create a twitter account to look at ads about FartCoin

Can't even get an egg in these trying times...

This should terrify all of us.

This is right. The fact that they’re doing this to “innocent people” is not irrelevant, but it’s ultimately not the point. People convicted of crimes have rights too. And you can be damn sure that if they want to convict them - or me, or you - of something, they will.

yeah man, please make my 85 year old great aunt prove her citizenship to vote in rural georgia, this definitely isn’t reminiscent of anything in the american past

German businesses heard a similar pitch in 1940. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The Trump way has always been to cause problems and then partially solve them by backing off what he did to cause the problem, and then calling the whole thing a "victory." It's like if I threw a baseball through a window and then taped cardboard over the hole and declared myself a Window Genius.

The big numbers are flashy, but it is the SMALL businesses that will be facing ruin because of these tariffs. We won't be able to truly see the damage until they are already gone. What an absolute waste.

What’s wild is that none of these guys would say “happy to contribute to the greater good” if this was about raising their taxes 0.01% to pay for a universal free school lunch program, they just say it about the thing that doesn’t help anyone and is being done for no reason

It is basically impossible to get people to believe that things like impoundment and extraordinary rendition and illegal trade wars are a crisis if nobody in a position of authority acts like they are.

I know I'm not saying anything new, I just... I feel like I'm losing my mind. I KNOW that there are millions of us who can see what is happening, but the mere fact of life continuing all around us feels like a denial of reality. I'm not sure I have the stamina for this.

Everyone should be screaming about this, before it is too late.

this is a staggering amount of money to build camps—suggesting that building & running a gulag will be the primary function of the otherwise gutted Trump-state in last fiscal yr: "D.H.S. allocated about $3.4 billion for the entire custody operation overseen by ICE" www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/u...

They’re going to keep pushing until something stops them.

In a way the tone is almost as frightening as the substance. The dissent writes like it understands the stakes, and what kind of regime we're on the precipice of becoming. The majority writes like it's hearing a case about whether rollerblades can be taxed as vehicles.
