All four of those track.

I woNder whAt kind of Zany person commIts war crimes against journalists.

Trump’s brown shirts terrorizing minors in their underwear.

I’m disgusted but I’m not surprised.

“lack of patience” is an extremely charitable take. They are lazy. They seek power for its privileges, not its responsibilities.

Yeah… I don’t see this going anywhere. Tulsi Gabbard saw no consequences for perjury over the leaked Signal thread either, and at the end of the day Facebook spreads the misinformation and propoganda that most benefits the GOP. Hawley fully backs the felony mob boss in the White House, he’s just chasing clout. Zuckerberg will make another generous donation to the MAGA mafia, kneel to kiss the ring, and everything will continue on same as usual.

Arm up if you haven’t already, you can get practice at a firing range (they are all over the US), practice firearm discipline and safety. Know how to clean and maintain.

And it doesn’t hurt to get some trump/maga gear because blending in is a powerful strategic option.

Can’t provide evidence that vaccines are safe and effective if RFK deletes all the evidence.

Checkmate, vaxxers!

Wouldn’t MAGA supposedly be thrilled for California to leave?

I’m trying to imagine trumper militia marching into California saying, “we need to keep this liberal shithole and it’s 54 blue electoral votes”.

Yeah, it would be devastating for the US economy, but if MAGA has told us anything it’s that they prefer to tank the economy than embrace any kind of diversity.

If you’re an American born white person, yes.

If you’re an immigrant, even a legal one, all bets are off. If you’re American born but you look like you maybe could be an immigrant, you’re in danger too.

Hot take: deontological ethics is a sad way to avoid taking responsibility for the consequences of your actions.

I don’t think the ends justify the means, and in equal measure I don’t think the means justify the ends.

Then take a step back and think which is a better way to fight the vast and sprawling abuses of fascism.

I’m all for hearing a better way of fighting fascism. Letting a death cult take control of all branches of government was definitely a method. I’m not going to stop listening but like… what the fuck are we doing?

When we think of what a bright future is, its a system of laws that irons out basic unfairness and brutality. We all want this. We disagree on how to get there.

Oh yeah, I want this, and I disagree very heavily with the death cult absolute power method. But I don’t have a choice now, it’s up to you now to prove that fighting alongside the death cult was the better choice.

I despise republicans, and always have, but I despise traitors on my own side even more.

Completely understandable on an emotional level, but if you’re not careful this can easily turn into an accidental alliance with Republicans, and it often does.

“We were all on board for a more business-friendly presidency

“More business-friendly presidency” is WILD.

Nearly every presidency of the last century has been pro-business, anti-worker. Federal protections for workers are nearly non-existent. Federal minimum wage is a joke. Wealth inequality is hitting all-time records.

Oligarch ghouls are so high in their ivory tower they have now clue how ordinary families on the ground are struggling.

anyone with a computer and internet connection can audit that agency to see exactly what they are spending their money on

What if critical suppliers aren’t accepting their crypto coin, or can they force everyone to accept it?

I’m sure your feelings matter to the Trump administration that’s building concentration camps and deporting people.

Which is a dumb belief.

“Love conquers all” lol no, you don’t live in a fucking Disney movie.

Certain political beliefs can and will do harm. Feelings will not protect you from harm. Choose your partner wisely.

Because it’s like spending lots of money paying for gas to drive your car, and you don’t like that, so you take a steaming hot dump in your gas tank, you know, “as a change in perspective”.

Surprise, you won’t save anything on gas, and your car runs like shit now too.

Trump’s plan involves using tariffs to pressure foreign central banks to lower interest rates, thereby depreciating their currencies relative to the dollar. This would offset the price increases caused by tariffs on U.S. consumers.

Nothing about this string of connections makes any sense. Why would they lower interest rates, why would their currency depreciate?

Other countries are just going to form trade partnerships with each other and avoid the US. There will be a new strengthening global economy that skips the US entirely.

It’s Brexit all over again, but instead of the UK suffering from leaving the EU, it’s the US suffering from leaving the global economy. At some point the US will have to come crawling back just for deals worse than it had in the first place.

Varoufakis’ reasoning is fully consistent with the Trump/Musk world of drug-induced delusion.
