Sanders: The irony is that the proper criticism of communism is that the Soviet Union was an authoritarian society. And then you’ve got the most authoritarian president in the history of this country. So I suppose when he says, “I’d be a great communist,” yeah, I think there’s some truth to that

I’m sure that sentiment goes both ways, JD. With the addition of their thinking you’re duplicitous and dumb.

Since nobody in the history of time has ever wanted to move to Alabama, I’d assume this wall, like the Berlin Wall, would be about keeping people in.

But all the crimes Trump and Blanche aim to commit together could be remedied if you had more than a streak of spit where your spine ought to be, John. We’ll call their upcoming predations the Cornyn Memorial Crime Spree, in your honor.

Trans film and arts critics have also done okay and for the most part trans columnists in apolitical "lifestyle" content seem to have been less affected. It's capital N News coverage and Political Comment journalism where trans people were purged most rigourously.
Jenny List@jennylist.bsky.social · 11h agoI seem unusual among UK trans journalists in that I have a regular publication. That's because I write about tech, if I wrote about politics or trans stuff I would be excluded like all the other trans voices. A whole generation of very bright talent, extinguished. Editors should be ashamed.

Trump’s an inspiration to violent rapey conservative psychopaths everywhere. They look at him, rub hands still sore from the last thrashing they gave their wives or girlfriends, and say, “If he can do it, why not me?”
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 17h agoMax Miller on why he's staying in the race: "When we go back to 2015 and 2016, & people in the media looked at President Trump, & everyone came out with allegations. Dozens of women, dozens of crazy allegations, dozens of nasty criminal misconduct. And you know what he did? He stayed in the fight."
Well…40 years ago I was still living in Utah, so…yeah. Big upgrade for me since then. Many things have gotten better. Trouble is, the things that sucked hardest from that 40 years back are still with us and tenaciously holding on to power. Things like a certain cretinous orange real estate scammer.
And Trump rewarded him by leaving him to die alone, thereby graduating from student to master.

Jeanine…evidence? Really? Do you even understand the movement you’re a part of?
Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · 18h agoIt's funny that Jeanine Pirro brought a box of evidence to WH to persuade Trump. He wants her to consciously *throw out* exculpatory facts and *knowingly* prosecute innocent people. So facts can't persuade him by definition.
