Charlie Kirk is dead. One less Nazi in the world. I just wish he'd been publicly humiliated not publicly executed.

Tech bros don’t want to save the world. They want to own it, brand it, license it, and charge you a monthly fee to visit.

Welcome to the American Holocaust. Alligator Auschwitz is just the tip of a massive iceberg.

And what can anyone do about the American Holocaust that's starting right in front of us? We can't claim that we don't know. So what do we do? What can we do?

Maybe if he'd finished community college, he'd have learned the basics of informal logic. It's usually taught in English comp, though not always. That way he might have learned about the ad hominem fallacy and the gross generalization fallacy. Maybe. I'm not sure Chucky can learn anything.

Has he seen how coal is mined now? And does he know that coal is obsolete? Of course not. And he doesn't care to know. He's just pandering to the morons in coal country. He has no fucking concept of anything outside of banging underage girls, playing golf, and raping the country.

Trump is only the figurehead. The real architect of ICE and the goings on in LA is Stephen Miller, a Santa Monica native. Let's see ICE go into the gang dens in the darker recesses of the San Fernando Valley and see how well their tactics work.

If the Project 2025 architects get their way, we're going to lose a lot more than the right to protest and freedom of speech. They want a white, Christian nationalist nation. The rest of us who don't want that are expendable and irrelevant.

Stunning how media has turned passage of the Abominable Bill into a will they-or-won't they romcom with a July 4th deadline for Cinderella to kiss the prince, rather than a situation in which multiple members of Congress say they're terrified they or their families will be killed if they cross Trump

He does care about this. It makes him giddy. He and MAGA (the entire GOP at this point) are excited to inflict pain on the rest of us. They're sadists.

There are only three political positions in America today 1) I like the fascism 2) I'll acquiesce to the fascism (reasons for this one vary: cowardice, access, denial, misguidedly thinking that acquiescence is savvy, etc) 3) I oppose the fascism The rest is details

If we had universal healthcare, my wife would have her surgery and chemotherapy without having to wait for Medicaid to kick in. She wouldn't have to work. Instead, she could focus on her treatments. Allied Solutions fucked her over. They represent the Capitalist enemy.

Thank you. I appreciate your support and thoughts. I am sickened by what's happening to our country. What happened to empathy and compassion?

The company that ruined my wife's life and hastened her death is Allied Solutions out of Carmel, IN. It'd be a shame if word got out on social media that they sent a woman to her death by firing her despite knowing she had Stage IV cancer and was undergoing chemotherapy and had a surgery planned.

The news depresses me and makes me anxious. My wife is dying of cancer because she was fired and her health insurance was terminated. We just cashed out our life savings. This is reality. Life isn't a game. It's hard. It's brutal. It's real.

Right. Wake me up when ICE raids a gang run neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley. Let's see these tough guys try to take out the drug dealers instead of a dad trying to make an honest living. I'm waiting for the gangland shootouts.

The company who fired my wife is Allied Solutions from Carmel, IN. They deserve special attention for being inhumane and sociopathic. If my wife dies because she can't get care, I will sue the fuck out of them. Corporate America sucks the life out of everyone. #americasucks #capitalismsucks

I wish I could use my masters in public relations to destroy the company and person who fired my wife. What kind of sociopath fires a woman with Stage IV cancer? My wife HAD 2-3 years to live. Now? Maybe not a year bc US health insurance sucks ass.

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

My wife lost her job today at Allied Solutions. She has Stage IV cancer. They knew it and still fired her. She now needs Medicaid to survive and the GOP wants her to die. I hate this country and the impersonal companies that run it.

The administration has contracts with the private prison industry for these detention centers, and the stories that have come out of them are horrific. No gas chambers. But the conditions that have been described are inhumane.

Trump plays at being a strongman. But he's being mocked on the world's stage. But he, like Berlusconi, made bedfellows with Putin. And, also like the former Italian strongman, Trump knows how to bend the media to connect with his base. But what happens when his base learns he's actually a coward?

I take it back. Pynchon's Against the Day ventures into scientific and theoretical waters I know nothing about. This might be his LEAST accessible novel that I've read. Still fun, though. #books #reading

You're right. It should. But we have a POTUS who has a history of advocating violence.The stories go back to him being a bully in military school, for example. He craves violence. What he doesn't like are assaults on him, and he probably felt like attacks on Elon were attacks on him.

I think Americans are waking up. The No Kings March drew millions of protesters, for example. That kind of public outcry against a dictator is one of the things Ben-Ghiat wrote about as being a way to weaken a strongman.
