I remember how we were told that foreign terrorists hate us because they hate our freedom, and the only solution was to bomb the shit out of them until they loved us. Donald Trump has a novel solution- just erode American's freedoms until the terrorists love us.
Today I was told that if I can’t at least cook simple meals for myself I should be institutionalized.
That people on disability should not be allowed to access “luxuries” like food delivery services because they’re unhealthy and expensive.
This is eugenics. 🧵
Feeding oneself is literal survival
Trump sent the National Guard to California for a fake crisis—no fires, no floods, no emergency. But Texans facing real disaster? Nothing. No help. No compassion.
It’s not about red or blue.
It’s about Trump’s racism and the fact that he just doesn’t give a damn.

Remember this the next time those in power claim they can't house the homeless, feed the starving or provide medical care to the the poor
They can, they don't want to

The thing is Donald Trump doesn't really have "policies." He just wants money and to feel important and powerful. If he had policies that would be something his opponents could use as a line of attack, but since he's just an amorphous blob of pure id every just bounces off.
My son recently finished playing Cyberpunk 2077 so we're watching that classic Keanu Reeves cyberpunk movie from the 90s ... Johnny Mnemonic. And he is kinda embarrassed by the similarities.
Your bill is going to cut coverage for 11 million Americans and it’ll still cost more than universal healthcare.
Healthcare is a human right, you absolute ghouls.
It's possible she may be guilty of this crime, but it's unreasonable for her to pay too high a price for 20 seconds of action. Think of her future! Girls will be girls.
500K Mexican-Americans served in the U.S. armed forces in WWII, as did millions of 1st and 2nd-gen immigrants, and 109K noncitizens.
Mexican immigrant Macario Garcia won the Medal of Honor in Normandy. When he returned to the US, he was was arrested for trying to eat at a segregated restaurant.
"...the debate before Democrats is about not just ethics but politics. And it’s worth asking what it means to “protect” trans kids (or asylum seekers, or abortion access, or the environment, or affordable health care, etc.) if you’re losing elections."

It's interesting how on the one hand the article says the Democrats need to stand for something to be more than just the "not Trump" party, but also suggests taking firm stands on human rights issues is a bad idea, I guess because moderates don't care about human rights.
It's always moderate Democrats pushed out by leftism we should feel bad about. When a progressive Democrat is pushed out there aren't articles lamenting about not adjusting party politics to protect those members, even though the result is still one seat lost, one that definitely stood for something

So you need to win elections to advance your politics, but to win you must be willing to sacrifice your ethics regarding trans people, asylum seekers, abortion rights, affordable healthcare, and the environment. Why even run against a Republican in that case?
I get that in this moment in history it's better for America to have more Democrats in government than Republicans. But Democrats need to stand for something, and if they're will to sacrifice trans children to conservative general inspectors they're just as ghoulish as their Republican opposition.
Someone find out who runs the FAA and make sure they’ll held accountable, or maybe the pentagon for flying a helicopter into the flight path. Trump needs to put on the hot dog suit and figure this out.
