AYMAN: Can you tell me where Iran killed thousands of Americans in America?
ANNA PAULINA LUNA: I said they are responsible for thousands of Americans being killed
AYMAN: Where?
LUNA: Are you serious right now?
AYMAN: It seems like you don't want to have a good faith conversation
Yes, it's the consequence of when America decides to re-elect a massive P.O.S. as President, in spite of being told all the things he would do, accurately.
The main dynamic here is: The countries didn't trust Trump, before, now they don't trust the US, as a whole
Amazing, I hope this sends signals across the party
With each passing day, the more and more I feel that the GOP should be classified not as a political party but as a terrorist organization.
ICE crossed a line in LA
We have a clear and present danger to the United States and it's living in the White House
So, he's not just a taco, but a Taco Appeaser platter?
An image shows a person holding a brown paper bag with text written on it in black marker: "EGGS ARE SO EXPENSIVE BECAUSE ALL THE CHICKENS ARE IN CONGRESS." The person is standing outdoors, with other people and bags visible in the background, suggesting a protest or public gathering.
The bok stops there.
Averages is 22-23 lies a day from my calculations
AOC: Fox News and the right-wing would have you believe that these American values are something out of The Communist Manifesto. But let me tell you Fox News, I don’t believe in healthcare, labor, and human rights because I’m a Marxist.. I believe it because I was a waitress.
We just wanted to take a moment to thank all our new supporters! Tomorrow, there will be more of us!
I strongly suspect this recent piece from Prof. David Knoll is about to be come extremely relevant and widely read.
"Even a rogue marshal’s service, in other words, is not an insurmountable obstacle to courts enforcing the rule of law. If courts have the courage, the legal tools are there."
Overheard: The Tesla Chainsaw Massacre.
Goebbels did say, "Accuse your opponents of that which you are guilty."
I guess we can now update that to: Accuse your opponents of that which you WILL, be guilty. 😒
Every accusation is an intention.
If we continue down this path much farther, violent civil conflict of some form will not only be possible, but inevitable.
We are witnessing the greatest executive power grab in US history. I'm concerned that this democratic republic will be irrevocably altered for the worse.
Which is worse?
—deliberately ignoring a federal court order
—trying to comply but you fucked everything up so badly you literally can’t
People, organized with purpose are the check on the executive branch when enforcement is lacking. This is something in how the French system works and we can learn from.
You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.
My thinking is either is directly to assist Musk or he is trying collapse and consolidate power for Trump as an executive. (Illegally) which combined with other elements in Project 2025 gives him dangerous amounts of power versus the other branches of federal govt.
Déjà vu all over again.
Stating the obvious: tariffs are a regressive tax on the poorest Americans.
A company pays the tariff, and raises their prices to get that money. That price is paid by the consumer.
Duh
Lately it seems like Trump and Musk are competing for most disturbing display of fascism and autocracy. Of course what they each is it's own scary combo of dangerous, immoral and illegal.
Vichy, Google style.
If Google is going to go along with renaming the Gulf of Mexico I think we need to rename them.
I'm starting to think that Youtube plus a number of alternative non-Meta/Musk social media platforms could be used to help create a larger more fact-oriented media. It may be the best hope in the modern pro-oligarch environment. Keep things regional/local early, expanding scope late.
