Stop, you're turning off the normie democrats with defund police & not brutalizing homeless people & letting trans people live their lives. You know better, we're supposed to accept nothing because it's better than the alternative nothing.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. filling an IV bag from a murky puddle near Trump National's sixth tee. "The president needs parameciums," he tells the assembled media. "It's the only treatment proven to work in real testing." His golf cart is piled high with dozens of dead birds.

Maybe more cis people (and I'm a cis people myself) should support people who support trans rights if they want to defeat fascism. Why is that never the false choice proffered? Why is it always marginalized people who are expected to throw themselves under the bus in service to everyone else?

3/3 Don’t let John Roberts et al. off the hook by claiming that Trump is somehow “defying” the Court here. He is, at most, taking advantage of incoherent nonsense in the Court’s opinions to be, in some sense, more principled than Roberts.

insane to me that anyone can watch a video of ICE goons tearing someone apart from their family and then go on national television and say we're focused on the crime. The crime is the disappearance of our neighbors. If you can't confront this go ahead and resign, you are now an obstacle to justice.

What concerns me most about Trump’s order to involuntarily institutionalize, which I am very much in the crosshairs of, is that all of society already despises the homeless & mentally ill. So I worry he won’t get pushback because Americans really do believe our humanity is completely null & void.

Tucker Carlson and those of his ilk are against war with Iran because they're aligned with the Putinist / Alexander Dugin ideology that wants to create ethno/religious states that dominate their spheres of influence. That's it. And it would help if this kind of obvious context was made available.
