I looked it up yesterday - ~45% of GOPers think D. Chauvin was wrongly convicted. A compelling, quantitative answer to "how important a role does racism play in the MAGA movement?" From experience & from observation I say that decent white folks are struggling to come to terms with this reality.

I *really* don't feel like we've been talking enough about what a hard time Iran has been giving to the US of FUCKING A. Blowing up our resupply bases WHAT?

If they know so much, how come my streaming services keep asking if my kid I don't have is watching? How come Facebook keeps showing me ads for a product I just purchased last Monday?

Corporations already know too much about us. Now they want to use our personal data to decide how much to charge us at the grocery store. Your private life shouldn't determine the price of dinner.

I wonder how big a factor in this is that the A.I. boffins have been in the headlines showing themselves to be condescending, un-humanitarian creeps?

Somebody ask China how many solar panels we can buy for $2 Bn per day.

Scott Horton@robertscotthorton.bsky.social

"Senior Republicans privately expect Trump's administration to request tens of billions of dollars for the Middle East conflict and other military needs from Congress in the coming days, with some GOP lawmakers hearing estimates that the Pentagon is spending as much as $2 billion a day on the war."

Hegseth: "Death & destruction from the sky all day. We're playing for keeps. Our warfighters have maximum authorities granted personally by POTUS & yours truly. Our rules of engagement are bold, precise designed to unleash American power, not shackle it ... we are punching them while they are down"

The regime estimates that the number of persons in the US subject to deportation is around 13 Mn. The regime has a goal of 1 Mn deportations per year. Based on recent experience, an assumption of an additional 1 Mn/yr 'self-deportations' is reasonable. So: what do we do with these camps in 6 years?

violent immigrant criminals have been holding down wages, I take it. or perhaps bidding low on a roofing job *is* the violent crime?

JD Vance: "What we have consistently said is that we want to deport violent criminals, people who came in under the Biden administration, and get them out of the country so Americans' wages can go up."

The USA right? The ones who are *overwhelmingly* responsible for political violence, racial violence, child rape, defrauding taxpayers, election interference, and weapons-grade disinformation campaigns? Twitter is where this is to be 'combatted'?

> as if there has been any relationship between taxes and government spending in decades now > the question is never "would you be willing to forego massive pointless military adventurism in the middle east if it meant that your kid cold see a doctor?" how many school lunches can I get for $3Tr?

GOLDMAN: If your department deports anyone with an ongoing asylum application, you are violating the law, correct? KRISTI NOEM: Joe Biden left us-- GOLDMAN: I'm not asking about Joe Biden NOEM: *keeps talking over him* GOLDMAN: The answer is yes

This got me thinking that when it came to pushing out non-loyalists 47 couldn't even be bothered to create a ritualized and performative anti-corruption campaign for the project. Xi is so far superior to DJT at this stuff. But each in their own way hacked their respective political machinery.

That $100Bn budget for ICE? Mostly for lawsuit settlements.

Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.gov

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

He's one of the greediest men on Earth, full-stop. He admires gangsters. He admires thieving, murderous dictators. He's a gargantuan bully. Nothing personal I swear, but I continue to be flabbergasted at the baseline benefit of the doubt that we continue to extend to this globe-conquering criminal.

I'm 55 years old and no it wasn't. They've been demonizing minorities of various kinds in various ways as long as I've had political consciousness. Marriage equality, cannabis legalization, gambling legalization, upholding of the Establishment Clause, have all been huge losses for them.
