I’m starting to think the #UMICH #Wolverines may not have a good football team this year 😄 Go Bucks! Surely a 17-point lead with 9 minutes left is enough this time…

I just watched the shooting video. It's a horrific beating and execution in the middle of the street. If local and state officials don't move to arrest everyone involved for murder, they need to resign. Making arrests will de-escalate the situation. Do nothing and this is going to explode.

Maduro was a brutal repressive dictator who destroyed Venezuela. Trump did not have congressional or UN approval to engage in unilateral regime change. Trump's actions were illegal. All of those things can be true at the same time. Don't let them make this about Maduro.

If true, this is worse than if Trump knew who he was pardoning. All it tells us is that there are people in his orbit that know exactly how to manipulate him to do whatever they want him to do.

I interrupt the #JaredLeto shitposting to say I actually enjoyed #TronAres a lot? It was good; good cast, timely in terms of theming, and the score and visuals were top notch. Probably too much real world and not enough Grid for the hardcore Tron fans but I liked the balance and pacing.

One of the things you learn about systems of fascism when reading the history is how so much of the worst evil is perpetrated by people just trying to advance their careers. How many people will sign up for ICE positions simply for the paycheck or commit atrocities to advance their career?

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

A bar graph. On the left side is a bar showing that Republicans are cutting $930 billion from Medicaid. On the right side is a bar showing that Republicans are giving $910 billion in tax breaks to corporations under their budget bill, paid for by gutting Medicaid.
