Multiple times this year I’ve had coffee with fellow immigrants who grew up in corrupt third world countries and the shared sentiment has been that Americans don’t understand how bad things are going to get.

A quick thesaurus of MAGA slurs for those having a hard time following... "DEI Hire" = N-word "Globalists" = Jews "Woke" = Won't allow you to be a bigot "Dictator" = the opposite of an actual dictator "Palestinians" = Palestinians (apparently it's okay to be openly racist against Palestinians)

They have all given up their alliance to America and turn to Russian agents Trump and Musk. Money & power is one a hell of a drug.

Brady Tkachuk is the quintessential American hockey player, in that he’s incredible talented, seems like a nice guy, but ultimately I hate everything about him, most importantly his hubris and general existence 😅

Can a republican answer a question directly? It's not in their DNA because they lie all the time. Case in point Mike Turner on Face the Nation. The host asked some reasonable questions, and this guy dances all around the answer. Never answers the question, just a lot of BULLSHIT!

“The professors are the enemy” This is correct. We professors are the enemy of fascism because we create and spread knowledge for social good, countering the lies propagated by authoritarian ideologues like Mr. Vance. We will always be the enemy of autocracy.
