the Vice President of the United States has gone on record citing this man as one of his biggest intellectual influences if you didn't know this, it's probably because for some reason literally no mainstream political media outlets think it's worth mentioning

As with American culture, Dolly sought to represent the best of what southern culture can be, in defiance of the no-good peckerwood assholes who try to define it at its worst

TAPPER: Hold on -- hold on, 'cause I'm not done with the list of women who have accused you of violence. Are all three of them lying? REP. MAX MILLER: Yes. And I'm not getting out of the race because in 2016, President Donald J Trump faced the most extreme allegations in the world ...

He’s going for it. And we know ahead of time. So….there’s time to prepare. It probably won’t work. But that doesn’t meant we shouldn’t prepare in advance.

My takeaway from that speech is that we are headed down the road of Trump trying to outright rig elections. It probably won't work, but he's going for it.

ICE shot and killed a man in Houston with no criminal record who was not even their target. They pushed him off the road. And now he is gone forever. ICE is a domestic terrorist organization. We need to abolish ICE now and stop Trump’s murderous thugs.

Ending Reconstruction before hanging every Confederate was a mistake

The Tennessee Speaker of the House will remove all Democratic Caucus members from standing committees and subcommittees as punishment for their redistricting protests. Democracy dies in Nashville.

the levels of elite impunity we are seeing now and the levels of war crimes we are seeing now are two aspects of the same path of historical development. right now they see war as our problem (and their investment opportunity). it is world historically important that we make war their problem again

“Don’t build schools next to naval bases” bro we have a public K-8 school smack dab in the middle of MacDill AFB and I’m willing to bet there’s ones on nearly every other base in the country, this guy was our NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR

John Bolton on #BBC #Newsnight: 1) Right to attack Iran 2) Won’t last long as #TACO 3) Don’t build schools next to naval bases 2 is wrong: Netanyahu has elections this year, war is big vote winner 3 shows how little US/Israel admin care about collateral civilian damage of their illegal wars

Is Convicted Felon Donald Trump’s super-duper secure SCIF with soft banquet-hall curtains, open air top, unsecured electronic devices, and roving guests located next to the bathroom where the classified documents are stored?

Oh btw ICE activity today at Whipple was fucking nuts. Large convoys of masked agents leaving every so often with a constant stream of single ICE vehicles in between. This 'drawdown' was clearly just a brief hiatus to pacify liberals and get bourgeois media/politicians to completely lose interest.

The Washington Post's description of the bodycam video of his arrest last year, and the translation of Mr. Shah Alam's comments, is gutting. Remember, he was entirely blind in one eye and could only see three feet in the other, and he spoke virtually no English. He spent a year in jail for this.

1. The footage shows Homeland Security is lying when he got indoors and was wearing prison booties I doubt are good for the cold. 2. Nurul Amin Shah Alam apologized to police BEFORE he was tasered when he was originally arrested. wapo.st/3OCwNx8

Mike Johnson: "If we lost the midterms -- heaven forbid, if we lost the majority in the House -- it would be the end of the Trump presidency in a real effect."

I'm Jewish and I think about antisemitism all the time. I can't tell you how fucking weird it is that Homeland Security posting literal neo-Nazi propaganda generates less discussion about the threat to Jews than a mayoral candidate who believes Palestinians are human beings.

DHS is recruiting using a not-so-subtle reference to a 1978 book from white nationalist William Gayley Simpson, Which Way Western Man? Simpson's book was released under an imprint associated with the National Alliance, founded by Turner Diaries author William Luther Pierce.

According to Reddit admins, "Build a man a fire and he will be warm for the night, set a man on fire and he will be warm for the rest of his life." is threatening violence. The same reddit where there are entire subs dedicated to people actually dying.

Now hold up. There is nothing wrong with working in a factory or mill if it pays a living wage and is a safe environment. I don't trust these maniacs to provide that, but I also don't appreciate the framing that Americans are somehow above working in a factory.
