New German word for you: "Stubentiger" (literally: Livingroom tiger. Describes a house cat). "Stube" (singular) is a rather antiquated way to say "Raum" (room) in German.

This is so important… Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and she’s finding they don’t match the vehicles. In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected. REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency. @governor.ca.gov 🧵

Just want it to be clear and on the record, the felon-in-chief’s actions are all immoral and inhumane, and anyone who supports him is complicit in all of it. I do not want to let any of this become normalized in my brain, so I will keep saying out loud that what’s happening now is wrong.

One reason why AOC resonates with so many people is because she is in Washington - and has been now a few years - but she still is able to analyze the problems in Washington like a regular person, not some DC swamp creature that has lost touch with reality. #ResistTrump

Name and shame the real culprits: THE REAL PROBLEM IS REPUBLICANS. ALWAYS. Hearing so many ostensibly well-meaning people call them "MAGA", rather than by their real name, has been driving me nuts! 🤯🤬 Thanks for helping me get this off my chest. I'm sure I'll be ranting about it more, anyway. 🤬

More? That's just 'cause I'm verbose. 😳 Really, you nailed it. We're seeing that whole process unfolding again, and I, for one, am not having it. THEY CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT! "MAGA" is just a stupid marketing phrase dreamed up by Trump.

So now, a "bonus round". In light of our conversation, what is "MAGA"?
Pretzelogic in Philly, PA (@pretzelogic-philly.bsky.social) reply parent
EXACTLY! Thank you. I was beginning to think I was taking "crazy pills". Rip off that Scooby villain mask, and it's ALWAYS Republicans. I'm in my mid-60s, & (in the context of my life) it's always BEEN Republicans. And, if we can't stop them this time, it'll ALWAYS BE Republicans. 🤬

Then, when everything went to 💩, as they KNEW it would, the Republicans could point to "those guys" as the culprits and evade accountability. Now, for "extra credit", can you see why this has been particularly aggravating me lately?
Pretzelogic in Philly, PA (@pretzelogic-philly.bsky.social) reply parent
The astroturf was created in advance, because the Republicans KNEW they were going to do wildly unpopular things. With the willing collaboration of the media (not just Fox and fiends), they established the "existence" of this group.
