Like if you're looking for parallels with fighting Trumpism it ain't just that the fash want total domination and have to be fought (couldn't agree more!) it's that regions that they claim as theirs have a lot of people already fighting against their oppression, so militantly support that struggle.

If you're wondering why polls always have the GOP better on security it's because the media won't run "TRUMP SHIPS STEALTH TECH VIA UPS" but they would have stories and follows and entire expert panels discussing this shit for weeks if it was a Dem in office.

There have been lots of malevolent Supreme Court justices, but there's not really a precedent for a Supreme Court justice who is as *dumb* as Brett Kavanaugh. A complete rube. Shows his ass every time he tries to write down more than two sentences of original thought.

They are dead because of Donald Trump. To this day we never got a coherent explanation for why the President illegally attacked Iran in the first place (vague muttering about "Israel made us" or "nuke-u-lur" doesn't count), and we still have no strategy for getting back to the status quo.

The US built the greatest talent magnet ever, attracting the smart, skilled, and striving. They’d come to study, then stay and build things here, or leave with positive impressions and fruitful connections. Helped make the US wealthy and powerful. Then America chose to throw it away. And for what?

This is deeply disingenuous and, frankly, a dereliction of journalistic integrity. A quick glance at Yum! Brand’s annual filings reveal that this is common language included every single year as an investment risk factor. The most recent filing is no different because the risk is always present.

Thinking about Archbishop Desmond Tutu's statement that he would rather go to hell than a homophobic heaven
"I would refuse to go to a homophobic heaven. No, I would say sorry, I mean I would much rather go to the other place," Archbishop Tutu said at the launch of the Free and Equal campaign in Cape Town.

"I would not worship a God who is homophobic and that is how deeply I feel about this."

Archbishop Tutu said the campaign against homophobia was similar to the campaign waged against racism in South Africa.

"I am as passionate about this campaign as I ever was about apartheid. For me, it is at the same level," he added.

See Thomas's hypocrisy for yourself. Image 1: Thomas's dissent in Trump v. Barbara. Image 2: Thomas's concurrence in SFFA v. Harvard.
Screenshot of page 56 from Thomas's dissent in Trump v. Barbara: 

The Citizenship Clause was enacted for people who were
born in this country and called it home. It was enacted for
freed slaves such as Dred Scott, who had “a domicil” here
and therefore were entitled to sue as citizens. Screenshot of page 6 of Thomas's concurrence in SFFA v. Harvard: 

In the years before the Fourteenth Amendment’s adoption, jurists and legislators often connected citizenship with
equality,” where “the absence or presence of one entailed
the absence or presence of the other.” United States v.
Vaello Madero, 596 U. S. ___, ___ (2022) (THOMAS, J., concurring) (slip op., at 6). The addition of a citizenship guarantee thus evidenced an intent to broaden the provision, extending beyond recently freed blacks and incorporating a
more general view of equality for all Americans.
