There is an international, well-connected network of fascists promoting far-right candidates in elections (and coups) across the world. The guy who owns the site Yglesias posted this on is one of their leaders. Be careful of people advocating for their opponents to disarm!

I just think Matt's wrong about this. We're at a point in our technological development where a ton of problems spill over national borders--if Flavio Bolsonaro burns down the Amazon, that will flood houses in Miami.

I think they believe acting like 🍊💩🤡 is a winning formula. If it works for him, it must work for me. Most ppl worked in 🍊💩🤡 1st term weren't like that. Not John Kelly, not Mike Pence. Problem is that cult of personality can't be transferred nor copied, nor 🍊💩🤡 is likable to begin with.

The deeper reason Trump, Vance, and Ramaswamy are backing the vile rape ad is they think MAGA politics—the cruelty, the depravity, the viciousness—is still ascendant. They think doing this esesentially puts Trump on the ballot. Me and @jimswift.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/2169...

A lot of people are also losing sight of the fact that not only - as a stepfather - did Cledith Arthur rape Amy Acton, but he had also been charged with incest in 1974 for raping his biological daughter!

It's kind of like arresting someone driving 5 mph above speed limit as if that person got into a DUI hit and run. Most of it is confusion and mistakes, and their votes didn't change the outcome. We have a lot more problem with eligible voters not casting a vote at all.

“Muñoz, the man whose arrest the DOJ invited the media to witness, is actually a registered Republican, according to voter records reviewed by L.A. Material.” lamaterial.com/p/voter-frau...

The electoral system doesn't require to be 100% proof from people who's not eligible ended up casting a vote, just as retail stores doesn't require 100% proof from theft, or online stores 100% proof from fraud.

What they want is to make voting so difficult to discourage eligible voters who they don't like from voting. It's like locking away every merchandise at the store: yes it would prevent theft, but it would stop legitimate shoppers too.

Nothing is too disgusting to be cheered on by MAGA. One of our top priorities over the next few years should be to insure that Steven Miller will someday die in a baggy orange jumpsuit. Fucking ghoul!

I don't believe there's any issue, bc there's no pt in doing it. If she had turned 18 b4 her dad got citizenship, she could've applied and got it afterwards. Her dad couldn't set the timetable for him getting the citizenship. He could only apply & the ball would be in gov's court.

BREAKING WaPo: Trump officials scrutinized Rep. Ilhan Omar in 2019. They didn't find citizenship issues. 
The earlier review of Omar's immigration records looked at many of the same issues being investigated now.

I faced the exact situation of turning 18 and I had to apply it myself. If you've attended regular schools in the US and get decent grades, you should be acing the citizenship test. Basically the narrative of some kind of fraud doesn't make sense.

Immigration laws are racist by design & approved back in the days when racism was normal. Laws couldn't be changed bc of racists in red states but most admins enforced those softly. Only this 🍊💩🤡 & Stephen Miller want to turn back the clock & want us to support their racist agenda.

The federal government tried to turn our public servants into deportation agents and force New York City to carry out ICE’s cruel agenda. Today, a federal court rejected that effort and upheld our laws. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Because these are bad laws to begin with and don't conform to our modern values, we have the duty to resist and to change. We will never take orders from unelected Stephen Miller and turn against our neighbors.

According to 🍊💩🤡, every immigrant is undocumented bc even if you're a citizen & elected official, they will try to dig up or make up something to make you illegal. These are stuff that dictators do elsewhere.

The Trump administration’s investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar is aimed at building a case to strip her of her U.S. citizenship and ultimately deport her, according to U.S. officials and other people familiar with the probe.

We all know Trumps mentally ill, not in a psychotic way, but in a way that his psychological need for attention and admiration render him unstable yet we all just sat by and watched him destroy everything in his path

Did James Talarico tell his grandmother that he thought he might be gay? Oh, no! That was JD Vance! Has James Talarico been in a 15 year mentor-protégé relationship with gay billionaire Peter Thiel? Oh, no! That was JD Vance! Did James Talarico pose in drag? Oh, no! That was JD Vance!

It's like living through a waking nightmare. A horrific fever dream that never ends. An endless parade of freak-show swindlers, depraved clowns, and brain-dead zombies. None of it seems like it could possibly be real. It's just too ridiculous, gaudy, insane, and cruel. I just want to wake up!!

A new statue titled “The Orange Plague”, also known as “King of Injustice”, by Danish artist Jens Galschiøt has been unveiled inside the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France, where it will remain through 8 October. Remember to stop by for a selfie if you have a chance. 😏📸

Trump seeks to label Democrats as communists, but he was the one who rolled out the red carpet for Chinese President Xi Jinping and kissed his ass. He is clearly Putin’s comrade and buying government stakes in private companies, so why aren’t more people calling out this bullshit? #ComradeTrump

I don’t know if this country will ever be able to repair the schism that led so many people to vote for Trump. But the collateral consequences that vote shouldn’t include your child-while protesting governmental injustice, no less-being murdered by ICE

Acyn@acyn.bsky.social

Mother of Renee Good: I voted for Trump under the impression that these agents were here to protect the citizens of the US, innocents like our family and the others here, against terrorists. Certainly not to accuse those of us here of being terrorists and take precious lives. This is madness.

Buried at the end of this demented screed against Kaitlyn Collins is an attack on the "disloyal" judge handling the case filled against him for banning CNN and MSNBC. Because Trump demands not fealty to the law, or the Constitution. No-he demands fealty to only Trump That's what dictators do

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: “All of the SLEAZEBAGS, like Third Rate ‘Reporter,’ Kaitlyn Collins, of Fake News CNN, a truly unhappy person, said they weren’t going to be covering me. Then why were they ranting and raving like Lunatics at the UN? She’s got a ‘TRUMP’ addiction. They’re all sick, treasonous, and demented!”

LMAO. Betting on Kalshi is like playing poker against an opponent who gets to look at the cards in your hand. Now people will have the privilege of losing money they don't have.

Eliza Orlins@elizaorlins.bsky.social

This is so fucking dark. Kalshi filed with the CFTC today asking for permission to let traders bet on margin, which means placing prediction market bets with borrowed money.

Today, billionaires yet again bribed, censored, and bullied their way to the top. As a result, a billionaire media company closely allied with the president will soon own one of its closest rivals, including some of the nation’s critical news outlets. Saudi Arabia will co-own those outlets, too.

Donald J Trump has Narcissistic Personality Disorder is a mental health condition marked by an ongoing pattern of grandiosity, a constant need for admiration, and a lack of empathy for others. It is a mental illness and he should be put away!
