If you do not know you are in a war then you have already been defeated. Expecting rules to be followed when they are being bent to the point of disregard is thinking that decorum defeats deviance. Call it what it is - It has been a slow moving coup.

Have you seen Clay Higgins? Self preservation is the first law of nature. Especially with swamp creatures. Looks like a deranged Donald Pleasance…

Clay Higgins (R, LA, CD-3) voted against the release of the Epstein files – the only House Member to vote No. Clay Higgins wants to protect child rapists and child traffickers.

The issue is a matter of a states right to define how elections will be carried out - constitutional issue, SCOTUS all day long. As for SCOTUS. They’re about to hit the wall on this one. Because once they allow Texas to arbitrarily change their rules, LET THE GAME BEGIN!!!

You might not have caught what just happened on the Senate floor, but the Senate just “deemed as passed” the Epstein resolution. That means as soon as it arrives from the House, it automatically passes the Senate (with no amendments) and heads to the President’s desk. Wow.

Not that I am in or have to be in the know. But I would guarantee you that there is some among them who have some family member, or other benefactor (Bessent, perhaps) who has some influence in these matters...I don't have to be right - but I'm not wrong.

The Supreme Court’s refusal to hear this case says it all. They keep trying to take us backward, but we’re not going. Love always wins.

We were told Senate Dems needed to be laser focused on making the shutdown about ACA healthcare subsidies and not ask for too much else so that they could demonstrate how they were measured and serious. Voting to reopen without funding to provide an ACA solution clearly betrays even this low bar.

You know, it crossed my mind once that that's what he thought, but then my normal kicked in and said, "naw, couldn't be..." I was wrong, and I'm okay with that.

The president of the United States thinks asylum-seekers come from mental asylums. He says it in almost every interview where the topic of migration comes up. How is this not 25th Amendment territory? How is he not an embarrassment to this entire country?

I wonder, if the criminal pseudo-cop, who tear gased the Frog understands, that HE created a symbol for the peaceful resistance? 🤔

The President would like to have his real hair back and not be going bald - that ain't happening either chicky - move on...

So, Vance's mother's descent into drug abuse led to her victimizing patients under her care. His well crafted self image is exemplary in allowing him to victimize people who are different to mitigate his own self-hatred These are tools of destruction and nihilism. Tools owned by one class.

the funny thing about the constant misappropriation of MLK is that the guy left a massive body of writing specifically aimed at explaining his views of those of the movement he represented to the broad public. it is extremely easy to know what the guy thought on a variety of subjects and yet

At some point the story has to go: Man bites dog... Can anyone reason with a hysterical person? No. There is a detachment from reality here. C.K. went into safe spaces to promote his ideas. didn't go into prisons to speak on issues of prisons, just said who belonged in them.

There's no excuse for the Vice President of the United States to use a heinous killing as an occasion to baselessly frame political opponents as accomplices to murder while threatening to use the power of the government to attack them. This dangerous rhetoric will only fan the flames.

But we are the grand and some great-grand children of that generation, and quite frankly. We're not going back. More importantly - not going to try to

argue with someone who has been convinced we are mortal enemies when, from current experience, apparently they have made up their mind - that is what it is. The only thing one can do is to remain on guard, and hope for epiphany. Without it - there is not much anyone can do.

Didn't talk about poverty as it relates to poverty as it relates to working people, cost of living as it regards people who are subsisting - talking to young people whose parents are still supporting them, while at the same time speaking about how they're being cheated out of opportunities.

@thedark3rd.bsky.social

No, you can't explain poverty to a person who hasn't gone through it. You can't explain health care cost extremes to someone who has someone else paying their way. No you can't explain generational disparity in wealth and opportunity to someone who has never had the law specifically written to deny

The American psychosis is impacting the rest of the world. The psychopathology of the American electorate, white victimhood, and far-right ideology based in social Darwinism and human ignorance.

George Takei@georgetakei.bsky.social

“I didn’t write it” when his signature matches many others, and he gave leniency to the only woman who could corroborate that he sent it to her, isn’t very convincing.

. China has EVs under $30k that outperform anything our car companies sell. We’ll never see them here because decades of policy prioritized oil profits over real innovation. That’s the real cost of ‘drill baby drill.’ 🥴 #Capitalism #EV #China .
