We now have a concentration camp in Florida. Stop pretending any of this is normal. If you claim to be a good person and you're not outwardly opposing this regime, you're not a good person. Be human.

“The recent bombing ordered by Trump—justified as preemptive defense against Iran's nuclear ambitions—can be traced back to evangelical dispensationalist theology, which holds that Israel’s geopolitical security and dominance are essential precursors to the second coming of Christ.”

Following a rich white man to war because you didn’t like the sound of a black woman laughing will go down in American history as one of the stupidest things ever.

“Surviving Ohio State” should end Jim Jordan’s political career. Will it? I have my doubts. But every Republican in Ohio should have to speak on Jordan’s involvement in the sex abuse scandal. www.rooster.info/p/surviving-...

Republicans keep telling us how much he “sacrificed” and “gave up” to run for president. His net worth was leveraged smoke and mirrors in 2016. Not anymore.

Man child who court ordered to complete mandatory retraining to learn how to not exploit cancer charities has question on why a woman with a Doctorate in Education didn’t detect cancer.😑 The fascism is unbearable enough and the sheer stupidity makes it just that much more insufferable.

FWIW, we've been studying the nationalist pronatalism push for several years now. And it's powerfully driven by what you'd expect: patriarchal gender ideology, perceptions that Whites & Christians are under threat, & Christian nationalism. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Trump's pause was an intentional manipulation of the markets so his billionaire donors know when to buy & sell to maximize profit off of YOUR losses. THIS IS INSIDER TRADING! Is this what you voted for? www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Why Trump Paused the Tariffs
A stock-market swoon, or even a recession, might not frighten him, but the prospect of a 2008-style meltdown apparently still does.
