This is the result of decades of civic poisoning by Fox News and right-wing echo chambers and channels.
A screenshot of a post on X by user Suzie Rizzo (@SUZIERIZZO1
). The post includes a text graphic with an orange background and black text that reads: "WHEN did America become a place where people take joy in suffering? Celebrating job losses, cheering immigrant arrests, ignoring terrified schoolchildren, and applauding when neighbors lose public assistance—what happened to basic human decency?" Above the graphic, Suzie Rizzo's comment reads: "Anyone want to answer this??? "

This should chill everyone in this country to the bone. All she did was write an OpEd the administration didn’t like. This is fascistic suppression of free speech.
The image is a screenshot of a post on X by The Wall Street Journal (@WSJ
). The post reads: "Federal immigration authorities detained a Turkish graduate student at Tufts University. The government hasn’t filed any charges against Rumeysa Ozturk, who was in the U.S. on a student visa, her lawyer said. Read more: on.wsj.com/3E3AM0b." Below the text, there is an image showing a person in a hoodie detaining another person in a white coat and headscarf outside an apartment, with a car and another person in a cap nearby. The image caption reads: "off-campus apartment."

Fmr National Security Advisor Susan Rice has LAID IT OUT on @msnbc.com. You wanna know exactly what is outrageous about the conduct of these actors in Signal-gate. Get the tape. She’s on to something, among other questions: why was the Acting Chair of the Joint Chiefs left out of this conversation?

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/america-ch...

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

They do seem like inconsistent positions, but the attacks on teachers was really about dismantling public schools to get taxpayer dollars for home schoolers and private charter schools run by charlatans.

Good morning and Happy Wednesday to everyone who appreciates the fire shown by Rep. Al Green, who was ejected, and DEMs who walked out of last night's ugly trump speech. More should have booed, walked out, or even stayed home. It's time to get fucking hardcore.

(2/3) The UK government is doing its best to live up to this commitment, but the US is effectively siding with Russia in undermining it. Instead of seeing its sovereignty preserved, Ukraine is being pressured to accept a lopsided peace agreement without real guarantees.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.
