The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

While I agree with the statement, I don't believe that Friedrich Nietzsche said it.

I wish people would stop blaming COVID mitigation policies for the acceleration of right wing extremism, and instead acknowledge the fact that we endured a mass casualty and mass disabling event that was mismanaged by narcissistic authoritarians who shifted the blame to marginalized communities

It has long stopped being a surprise that these white bigots are under-literate. This also makes me wonder if French bigots would be angered at such laughable ignorance or if they'll overlook it in order to indulge in anti-Muslim bigotry. 🤔

They want us focused on street crimes so that we won't be focused on theirs. And the toll of theirs in lives and money and total victims dwarfs anything happening on the street. Street crime is real—but if you're obsessed with it, they've got you right where they want you, pal.

The truth is that higher education in the United States should be free and accessible, and people like Andreessen are the reason it isn't. The truth is that people like Andreessen are advocating for segregation and discrimination for ideological reasons, not because it's fair for any students.

Trump used the official White House account to post this on #GoodFriday. As a devout Christian, I am disgusted with something so cruel on the day Christ was tortured and crucified. Furthermore, to use the phrase “He’s never coming back” two days before Easter seems targeted at believers.

Mark your calendar if you want to see mostly unknown right wingers engaging in projection, especially with a claim like, "This rally is more than a celebration of independent thought — It’s a stand against the growing aggression and censorship tactics of the radical Left." 🤣
Howard Chan (@hcactual.bsky.social) reply parent
...it's you, as a political purist, that are being dishonest with such claims, which partially contributes to so many that DON'T vote and made it easier for a POS like Trump to be re-installed in the White House! You're not much better than overt right wingers that voted for him. I'm done with you!
Howard Chan (@hcactual.bsky.social) reply parent
Assuming your first claim is true, it's quite clear that one party is VASTLY crueler than the other. I think there's hope for one of them, but it's up to them to make things better. The other one might as well end itself since they're "anchored" to a mentally and morally bankrupt disaster! But...

Let's repeat it for folks in the back. When Bill Clinton cut 300,000 + jobs from the federal workforce, he did it with the APPROVAL of Congress after review and a VOTE! He did NOT illegally take it upon himself to drastically slash entire agencies and programs - with NO plan for continued service.

Trump's "Counterterrorism Czar" is openly saying that if you exercise your 1st amendment rights & speak up for the release of an innocent man who the Supreme Court ruled 9-0 should be returned to the US, if you say a word, you can be charged with "aiding and abetting a terrorist". Do not comply.

The argument in the text is they can’t accomplish their policy goal while following due process (and therefore the standards should flex). That’s a general purpose argument for fascism, not one specific to immigration.
