Secular Humanist & social progressive who is completely aghast at how so many conservative friends, family and acquaintances have openly embraced the fascist policies of Trumpism. WTF is happening to our Republic?
This is Kherson. russian drone operator hunts down a civilian fruit seller and attacks him. The russian behind the controls knows and sees exactly what he is doing. A vile sadist, a subhuman who deliberately targets a poor man. Reports say he survived. #Ukrainianview
I have no idea if this is what's going on or not but the results tonight are all consistent with my broad belief that Democratic primary voters are scared to death of losing again and as much as they like left/progressive ideas they are fucking terrified of losing again
An amazing Haitian man I know was just sent a notice of deportation. He is supposed to turn himself in Tuesday. He is not a criminal. He's not the "worst of the worst." He's a gainfully employed taxpayer, a human being, grateful to live somewhere he isn't fearing for his life He's my neighbor.
The fuss so many Republicans in D.C. make about the LGBTQ community is resentment. They resent people brave enough to live openly…while they keep their own desires hidden, terrified of what colleagues and constituents would do if they knew. Republicans…you KNOW who you are. We do, too.
Reminder: Todd Blanche has… -Weaponized the DOJ to persecute Trump’s political foes -Purged hundreds of career DOJ lawyers -Botched the release of the Epstein files and ignored victims’ wishes He can’t be trusted and has no business being Attorney General. The Senate must reject him.
Legal scholar/former US Atty Barbara McQuade: Todd Blanche’s recent assurances to the Senate regarding an “Anti-Weaponization Fund” & Trump’s IRS immunity are merely "hollow gestures" that fail to meaningfully check executive power. See CALL-TO-ACTION 👇🏼 1/5 www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...
Trump Still Has That IRS Immunity. Don’t Be Fooled
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s assurance to senators about the $1.8 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund” and President Trump’s immunity with the Internal Revenue Service is nothing more than a ho...

So Tillis and Cornyn thought the 1.8. Billion dollar slush fun was so bad, that they will be willing to confirm the guy who came up with it. Huh
There's a fire burning into Spokane, and the president is swatting away aid requests for past burns and posting AI depictions of himself as Elvis.

ICE is many things, including being the militarized arm of a demographic project. As long as ICE are after immigrants, that they’re prone to use violence is a limited liability and even a boon to the sadists. Unless ICE started after white America, MAGA will never turn on them.
Despite weeks of renewed press coverage and controversy around ICE, Donald Trump’s supporters appear to be standing by the agency no matter what. www.wired.com/story/it-loo...
There are more people who've parlayed middling athletic prospects into profitable careers decrying the inclusion of trans women in sports than there are trans women in sports.

#Fauci The real deal
Doctor here-Story time: I received a call today from a sick friend in another state, & I recognized it as a neurological emergency sent him to ER. Likely diagnosis: Giant Cell (Temporal) Arteritis, which can cause blindness. 1 of the authors of original 1990 diagnostic criteria: Anthony Fauci MD🙌🏻🫡
To the 32% still supporting Donald Trump: history is going to remember you as some of the dumbest fucking people who ever lived.
RFK Jr.: “You probably don’t understand this as you’re not a scientist.” Dana Bash: “You’re not a scientist either.”
Detroit auto executives, as well as Michigan voters, have decided to kill off the U.S. automobile industry. If everyone agrees EVs are the future (and are increasingly the present) and if Detroit continues to insist on not building EVs...well you can't save someone who doesn't want to be saved.

They subpoenaed an 85-year-old man who has testified before Congress 250 times. They published his private diary first. Then screamed profanity at him for not talking. Six years of investigation. Zero charges. This is what having nothing looks like. www.JackHopkinsNow.com
STAY TUNED ON THIS Republicans may have poked the bear. They used gerrymandering to weaken Black voting power. Instead, new data suggests they helped drive higher Black voter turnout across parts of the South. 1/2
