Democratic socialist in MN who's been shouting the warning signs of fascism in this country for a decade. Just want my children to grow up in a world that actually ALLOWS them to grow up as whole people, with human rights and stuff. Too much to ask?

We aren't signatories to the Rome Statute, so essentially no, they can't. Which SUCKS. To put it mildly...

Because the WH press pool consists almost entirely of RW influencers, podcasters and media outlets now. They kicked out all the actual journalists who would have asked questions like these.

Don't forget, they're putting oil money from Venezuela in accounts in Qatar with zero oversight, so why not tariff money as well? There's also the nazi brownshirts, and crypto.

This is the guy his workers had to sue to get paid, IF they could afford the lawsuit. πŸ™ He almost certainly stole the $.

Oh, they definitely stole it, stashed it overseas, bought untraceable crypto with it, and/or spent it already. They're like an unscrupulous person who finds a credit card on the ground. They spend it as quickly as possible because they get a thrill out of it.

They weren't counting on facing consequences for ANYTHING they do. They're people who never mentally or emotionally developed past the rebellious preteen phase. Either they didn't think that far ahead, or they never expected to get caught and held liable. Probably a bit of both.

It's literally, to the letter, what Trump has done to his businesses. He either declares bankruptcy and bows out of his payments, or abandons sinking ships to terms for themselves (and also running from his debts). His workers have had to sue for their wages, IF they can afford the lawsuit.

What you idiot commies don’t understand is that if we tax rich people they will JUST LEAVE, depriving our nation of tax cheats, political bribery, and national acts of perversion

An unarmed Iranian ship was invited, along with the U.S., to be part of an Indian Naval exercise.
The U.S. at the last minute pulled out of the exercise and instead attacked the Iranian ship with a torpedo

This is seriously one of the most valuable lessons I ever learned. Being yourself is much better than being surrounded by disingenuous people. If they leave, then they weren't your people to begin with.

Probably a good idea at this point. 😬

I can't withdraw mine without hefty penalties (all 401k), but I made it as low risk as possible. Battening down the hatches, so to speak.

I'm American, and I hope he does too. Fuck America's stupid war. πŸ˜‚

I mean, I do feel bad for the servicepeople having to take the fall, but honestly, they should have disobeyed illegal orders in the first place. Up to them now to decide how many of them die before they finally honor their oath. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

I'm no longer shocked by anything they do. It's expected now. But I retain my fury about it because I refuse to normalize their behavior. 😑

This is a good analogy. Very useful in carefully controlled settings for specific usages, but unfortunately being widely inserted into everything and used without training or PPE and poisoning a lot of things and people and we’re going to pay a tonne of money to remove it safely in the future

That's... Actually brilliant. Best analogy I've encountered.

And being a human today is like being forced to live in an asbestos-filled house, while being told, "Hey, mitigation will catch up eventually. Better get used to it because asbestos is the future & will make everything SOOO much better!"πŸ™„

Look, I'm just going to be honest as always;
MINNESOTANS ARE STILL LIVING AND HIDING IN FEAR AND THE MEDIA IS BARELY MENTIONING IT.
AND ICE IS STILL PRESENT!
Please don't look away.
I know I won't!

And maybe if the regime didn't cancel nearly EVERYTHING relating to renewables before starting a war 100% guaranteed to impact the very oil and gas supply they're obsessed with? Just a thought...

No single person deserves almost a trillion dollars in personal wealth while everyone around them starves and freezes to death.

Even a single billion is 333 average American lifetimes' worth of money.

Tax billionaires out of existence.

The biggest winner Tuesday night was voter turnout.

Even if your candidate didn’t win, Texans should be proud of this. Voters showed up in huge numbers.

If Musk liquidated just 10% of his wealth and then paid 1950s tax rates on the rest, it would be enough to end poverty and homelessness both in the US for decades. But no, he chooses eugenics and rockets to the moon that blow up more often than not.

Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack.

Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.

Medical experiments on prisoners?

I fully expect a study to be done on this connection as soon as we bring science back to this country. I also fully expect a FAR more robust mental health program and educational system to prevent the Maga disorder in the future.

No letting up until the end of time so fascism can never rise again. Complacency is what got us here.

Fetterman did, but can he even be called one anymore? Was he EVER a democrat in more than name? Anyway, he's the only one I know for sure.
