Looks like Trump's businedd play of stiffing the small contractors after they do the work also works in a kleptocracy.

@washingtonpost.com I just canceled my subscription given that Bezos has made it clear that previous editorial interference is part of his commitment to Fascism and will be ongoing.

Christian support for Trump that essentially boils down to “he’s a great deal-maker” only makes sense within a world that prioritizes the accumulation of wealth, which is another way to say that many people support Trump because they’re greedy.

BREAKING | Man from political party that keeps accidentally practicing Nazism gives a controversial but certainly accidental gesture that many say could possibly resemble exactly what we all saw it definitely was both this time and every other time one of them oopsie-daisy does it.

Can any #AcademicSky or #SkyStorians point to similar bills in US history? Is this as strange and cultish as it seems on its face?

Less than 10 days and MULTIPLE CASES already where ICE under Trump's hyper-charged enforcement orders have arrested Puerto Rican citizens! This man's family was sent to an ICE detention center in Milwaukee. Once ICE confirmed they were citizens, all they got was a "sorry."

Recently took a peek at Twitter and the disinformation is getting substantially more dangerous. Someone could get killed. The tactics of constantly repeating outright lies, targeting specific people, repurposing years-old footage and presenting them as new is getting to another level. It’s scary.

Some assumptions you have to hold to believe this is decent: 1. US colonization ended long ago, + the struggles against them now are futile. 2. Indigenous ppl (when organized) will always follow capitalist modes of production. 3. The primary and only relationship to land is one of ownership.

Trump’s incoming administration isn’t just mostly white and mostly male. It’s also mostly rapist.

Vance’s two most memorable debate moments seem to have been complaining that he was supposed to be able to straight-up lie and refusing to admit that Trump lost the 2020 election, both of which should be disqualifying and also are scary given he’s a coin flip away from being VP come January 20.

Trump is publicly sexually harassing his political opponent. That is the language for it. It is not “charged discourse,” it is behavior that has been illegal in the workplace since shortly after the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings.

Watching MAGA, I now understand how Jonestown could have happened. Reading the takes of Dem strategists telling Harris to ditch every message that's connecting with voters, I now understand how New Coke could have happened.

The difference between a political party and a cult is that you can replace the party leader when they are no longer up to the job. The end for cult leaders tend to be a bit more bumpy for all concerned.

The question is not how to deport 18 million people because make no mistake, they could do it if they get power, although the cost in every way would be much higher than they think. The question is whether it is good to do it, and it is not good. It is evil. abcnews.go.com/Politics/jd-...

Cash bail is such a beautiful summation of so many principles underlying the law. The theory behind it is, "this person is a threat to society and must be held awaiting trial, unless they have money, in which case they're free to go."
