it is shocking the extent to which they openly sneer at morality

Stop mass deportations with this one simple trick: wapo.st/41apYFB (gift link)

mass deportations are some of the most economically inefficient cruelty known to man paying millions of dollars to detail & expel employees, fathers, grandmothers, caretakers, etc. is a double cost: not only is it expensive but it also eliminates a productive members of our society and economy

How it started. How it’s going

Trump inherited maybe the best economy for regular working people of my lifetime (I realize that’s not saying much, but still, it was) and has just immediately ruined it. Like, fucked it up beyond repair in less than a month.

Americans HATED Jan. 6. That the political opposition wasn't able to harness that and turn it into a lasting defeat of Trumpism will be one of the defining stories of the 2020s, if not the century.

a new agency made of teenage neonazis and drug dealers is in charge of the entire government. the richest man in the world, who gave a nazi salute at the president's inauguration, says he is in charge. officially, he isn't. the government won't tell the courts who is in charge

From St Basil the Great: You, however, have regard for gold, but not for your own brothers and sisters. You recognize the inscription on the face of a coin, and can tell the counterfeit from the genuine, but you completely ignore your brothers and sisters in their time of need.

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

Someone just proposed in the middle of the street at the Eagles parade. Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone!

Is there any way to replicate this dynamic? Could AOC take up this role once a sufficient number of Trump’s vital organs resign in disgrace?

one of the strangest things about the trump administration is the aesthetic of self-conscious evil
