Nothing makes sense unless you look at what they're doing as a deliberate attempt to destroy the health, safety, economy, and future of the United States. It's too destructive and too irrational to be stupidity or craziness or libtears or whatever. Occam be damned, this is enemy action.

BTW, I know Obama promised this on day 1 and failed, but we have to get rid of this fucking base. We can't have extrajudicial prison camps.

In August, the Trump administration flew 12 Somali immigrants to an ICE facility at Guantanamo Bay. “Nobody tell us that we’re going to Guantanamo Bay,” Sakariye Abdi Mohamed told journalist Amanda Moore in a phone call from the detention facility. “Just like kidnapping.”

Well that outta do it, Thanks Senator. Hopefully you don't have to escalate to "strongly urge" or even "ask nicely". "Begging" is right out. I'm sure the guy who tried to give Brazil to Bolsanero is going to be a very receptive ear to this. It's too bad you don't have any actual power.

Meta recently updated their terms of service to require any businesses that use their products to turn over their intellectual property in exchange for access to their platforms. I’m urging Meta to reverse this decision and compensate creators and publishers for their work.

Lula has been reelected president, Brazilian media has now called. An extraordinary comeback for the left-wing politician who trailed by 2 points in round 1 but managed to hold off Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Jeffries and Schumer say this instead about impeachment: "We will use every tool we have to slow, disrupt, frustrate, and end the presidency of Donald Trump, and we'll continue using those tools to prosecute him, his family members, his allies and his enablers, to the fullest extent of the law."

What bothers me the most about this clip isn't his plaque-addling brain's incoherent bullshit, it's that the crowd cheered. You can argue he didn't mean it like it sounded, but the crowd cheered for what it sounded like, and i will never get over that.

our whole lives have been defined by a hyperbolically dishonest opposition treated with kid gloves and false balance in the press. dems put up with non-stop fake controversies, left ideas are misrepresented by journalists who know better but play dumb to demonstrate their lack of liberal bias.

Micro-bleh-stics Spookmelier@eephus.biz

the most important takeaway from 2024 was that voters bought a litany of falsehoods from a degraded and hostile information environment. instead of facing that and playing hardball with the modern robber-barons corrupting the public sphere, they are simply wishing it wasn’t true.
