I seem to recall another group of fascists using Roman symbolism.

The right doesn't care about free speech or any other part of the Constitution. It's only important to them when it is useful. A true Republican would be screaming from the mountain tops about the constitutional crisis we are in.

Mitch McConnell is largely to blame for the situation we are currently in, but at least he's speaking out, I guess? (Such a coward!)

I think the administration wants SCOTUS to strike the EO down for 1 of 2 possible reasons. Either they want a reason to suspend the Constitution or to show that SCOTUS can't enforce its dictates.

If you're defending Elon and saying it wasn't a Roman salute; then do it. Walk into your bosses office tomorrow and do it. Greet your friends by doing it to each other. Own it if you think it was so innocent; prove us wrong.

IMO we are on the verge of a major recession that could hit as soon as 1st or 2nd quarter in 2025. However, it might be further out, but there are a lot of market indicators like the yield index that seem to show a trend toward recession.

I am seeing a ton of videos thanking President Obama for saving TikTok; which is hilarious and a sure fire way to get under Mango Mussolini's skin. Gentle reminder that we are still deleting all our Meta apps including Facebook, Insta, Threads, and Messenger.

Don't forget to delete your Meta products. I just got done deleting mine.

Don't forget that he started this whole thing. Don't give him credit for "saving" TikTok if it comes back.

I don't think I've ever seen a more accurate description of Bluesky than "millennial retirement home." 🤣

I can confirm that TikTok has gone dark. I will be deleting everything Meta tomorrow and writing to both my senators (dems) and representative (repub) that I will support primaries against them and will not vote for them if they are the candidate in the general election. Not left v. right; up v down

It's time to flip the board.

It's incredibly sad that we weren't able to fulfill his desire to see the first woman president. RIP President Carter.

In my area, all you can eat sushi places have done this forever. They post it on a sign near the door. How is this a controversy in 2025?

This would be like Russia's invasion of Ukraine and highly illegal. It would be German annexation of Austria, the Sudetenland, and Poland. These are sovereign allies he is talking about. CNN needs to do better.

Eradicating the FDIC, a protection that was put in place BECAUSE of the '29 stock market crash, would be catastrophic and eventually lead to another Great Depression.

Anti-DEI proponents are just segregationists.

The SCOTUS is completely illegitimate! They have become a tool of the plutocrats.

While Trump IS incredibly dangerous; he is also a useful idiot to the billionaire capitalist ruling class. Trump and Musk both epitomize everything the founders were afraid of; foreign power infiltrating the highest levels of government, and someone wealthy enough to buy the government.

Just a reminder that in 2008 not a single Wall Street exec went to jail. Instead they gave themselves huge bonuses of taxpayer bailout money while working class Americans lost their jobs, homes, and retirements. With another recession looming lets make sure the capitalists are the ones to feel pain.

They own enough super yachts, islands, and politicians. TAX THE FUCKING BILLIONAIRES.

Most (56%) Black people in the United States live in “the South.” With all we know of the racism built into America’s justice system (“War on Drugs,” policing, prosecution, incarceration, etc), it’s no surprise a map of INCARCERATION RATES BY STATE looks like this. Caging Black people is the point.

Supreme Court 18-year term limit bill should be just the beginning: — 13 justices — 7 clerks per justice — single 18-year term — binding code of ethics with punishments all the way up to impeachment — full investigation of corrupt gifts to Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, et al.

Trump has not APPOINTED anyone. He has NOMINATED them. Presidents do not have the power to appoint cabinet officials or judges — only to nominate them and send them to the Senate for confirmation or rejection. The words MATTER. Don’t give Trump power he doesn’t have.

A lot of political strategists and talking heads have been trying to make the Dem loss of 2024 about something other than economic distress. The broad public support of a man committing 1st dg murder of a CEO is all the evidence I need that economic populism like Medicare for all would have won.

If you agree that these gentlemen are HEROES then repost this and let’s be friends 🇺🇸

Wow. What a statement!
