"Mr. President, sir," he said with tears in his eyes, "please don't make me agree with the Iranians" Great new propaganda vid from Iran.

<rant> The old guard of the Democratic Party always said "If you want to change things, join the party and make changes from the inside" Now that the Democratic Socialists are doing just that, the old guard is screaming and threatening to quit. </rant>

Elon Musk claims that he and DOGE caused "zero deaths" when they cut USAID funding because other billionaires could have stepped up to save those programs. Pure sophistry.

Our President keeps calling journalists "fake news" very similar to the German term Lügenpresse...

@lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social I think the test case for ignoring the law is the TikTok ban. It's been 365 days since Our President ignored the law that was passed by the House, Senate, signed by the a President, and upheld by the Supreme Court. All three branches weighed in, and he's ignoring it.

If you believe the deadly attack in Venezuela to take Maduro was good because some Venezuelans were "dancing in the streets."
Imagine how many Americans would be relieved if someone took Trump to another country to stand trial. It would still be wrong

There are hundreds of listings for this "Paper beats Rock" Nazi t-shirt on eBay. I've reported a bunch and eBay "didn’t find the listing to be in violation of our policy." They have literally have a policy against "Media identified as Nazi propaganda"

The reactions I see people having to our current administration's actions seem very familiar to me.
I'm afraid we're all in an abusive family right now.

All the videos we see of ICE/police/military assaulting people on camera are happening because they know they will face no consequences for their actions. They're breaking the law because they believe the law no longer applies to them. What kept them in check before was fear. Now they have none.
