and another thing: im not complicit. please dont put in the newspaper that im complicit.

The next Democratic president should sign an Executive Order declaring the children of cops to not be natural born US citizens, as their parents (who have qualified immunity) are not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.

Okay great, whatever you want, this is incrementalism. Sure. But rather than patting ourselves on the back and saying this is good and fine for now, we should instead be saying "what is the next incremental policy toward housing for all, and how soon can we implement it?"

If I saw that a guy who doesn't even believe what he says got a rise out of me, I'd delete my post too.

FOX News: DId you hear Democratic Rep. Gluesenkamp Perez on Bluesky said "please stop **trying** to murder the president." Disgusting! Shut it down!

Democratic politician: "I have failed to earn your vote for 10% of my views." Me: "Holy shit, I'm not voting for you because you want universal healthcare?" Democratic politician: "LOL no...."

@atherton.bsky.social Rolling back Trumpism means rejecting Trump v. US, and there's no better way to reject that ruling than impeaching Justices for their vote.

Amongst the many litmus tests I have for any future presidential candidate is, "will you pledge to cooperate with Iranian investigations of war crimes, and extradite all individuals they request? (Assuming they haven't already been extradited elsewhere, e.g. Venezuela.)"

I believe that in a democracy, the government should make its case for a proposed policy to the governed. The US government allocates funds for exactly this purpose. They hold briefings, release statements, etc. But the NYT (no public editor) pays Op-Ed writers to do this job for the government?

If you want to understand what fascism is all about, just look at the reporting of the Financial Times (derogatory).

@ecmclaughlin.bsky.social I was a 23 year old enlisted soldier who did exactly what you claim is hard --- refuse to follow illegal or immoral orders while deployed --- and I found it easy. Let me know if you'd like to learn more about my ethics and morality.

Pete Hegseth --> Frank Bradley --> ? Let's keep the names coming. Who relayed the order to troops on the ground? Who pulled the trigger? Each and every one of these troopers have been trained on the Laws of War, and knows they are obliged not to follow illegal orders.

Tom's mistake here is known as a "motte and bailey fallacy" --- he's retreating to the narrow argument of "is the government of the United States a fully empowered fascist regime?"
