You know, when politicians are term-limited out sometimes they do what’s in their heart, and he’s got nothing but love for throwing out homeless people’s stuff, eliminating jobs with that merger, and killing women

God, can you imagine living in a country like this? Captured opposition parties that don't challenge autocratic abuses and exist only to take money and direct public discourse toward acceptance all while pretending there's nothing they can do? That sounds awful. Thank god we don't have that.

NYT's article on fake political environment in Russia: That controlled exercise in political theater is occupying the waking hours of thousands of Russian bureaucrats. Campaign teams are agitating for “opposition” parties that all conveniently support the war. Regional officials are organizing the nuts and bolts of ballots and turnout. Milquetoast candidates populate the airwaves of state television.

All of Trump’s endless crimes pale compared to the precious time he has not just squandered but dedicated to turning up the heat. This is mass murder on an incalculable scale.

This is what I mean when I talk about "soft" eugenics, the usage of apparently neutral or liberal social programs and norms to put "undesirables" in impossible positions which will cause them to A: Die B: Commit crimes, go to prison, become free labor

Maha is just another astroturfed front in the American Reactionary Movement. This movement is responsible for every public health crisis: climate, automobile deaths, gun violence, homelessness, poverty. Its the Don't Tell Me What To Do movement. They are few but they're mobilized for war.

They make it nearly impossible to get disability benefits because they want you to give up and/or die before they pay out. They force you into legislated poverty. Treat you like a scammer. Demoralize and dehumanize you. Even IF approved you’re not given enough to survive. This is eugenics.

The process for getting disability through Social Security is such a prime example of this. Nearly everyone gets turned down on their first time applying. The entire process, with appeals, can take between 1 to 3 years. And during that time you CANNOT work.

I know everyone’s making their jokes, but to be real: it’s an American sickness that the media and political class are praising someone who has spent last year calling for a genocide. Lindsay Graham was the worst of us. He wanted the blood of children to flow in the streets of Gaza and got his wish.

Yes. It's been clear that we've been in this disintegrating moment since Bush stole the 2000 election — a massive norms-busting escalation that blew up the 20th century political system. Democrats have now had two chances in power since to repair or reform the system and punted both times.

McConnell denied Garland a vote nine months out under the guise that there was an election soon and then jammed through Coney Barrett a week before Biden won. They have been flipping the bird to the concepts of norms and fairness for decades and the democrats have done jack shit to fight back.

Again this should inspire wall-to-wall media coverage for months. The crowning achievement of the Civil Rights Movement is dead. Black people just lost all of their remaining political power in the South. This is a monumental moment in American history that simply isn't being treated as such.

This is why they love the fetus. It needs nothing from society (in their point of view), it makes no demands, it can’t talk or fight back. It’s a blank slate upon which the right can project their neurosis.

Let's call this policy what this is. It's socialism. It's Leftism. And it's curing actual ills. Righting institutional wrongs. It's not coming from someone who is infallible, or someone who is always correct. It's coming from someone who promised to help and is trying to keep those promises.

Fascists cant be shamed. They arent committed to rules & institutions. When they overturn them there is no cognitive dissonance. A political strategy aimed at calling them out wont stop them, because the problem is not that they're inconsistent.

My theory is that capitalism systematically creates vast concentrations of wealth while simultaneously eroding and capturing democratic institutions, which means that if someone like Trump gets rich there is very little anyone is going to be able to do to stop him. YMMV I guess
