That’s the problem with the removal of due process. The facts don’t matter. Being accused makes you guilty and subjects you to the maximum penalty under the law.
If you think the Trump administration isn’t going to extend this to LGBT people next and people who disagree with their policies after that, you aren’t paying attention.
I’m curious what India thinks of Usha Vance. On paper, she’s an Indian-American Second Lady. In reality, she sits back while her husband says he’s okay with all kinds of anti-Indian racist shit.
The last chance to stop this is the Roberts Court making a strong ruling, and the ruling being enforced. Otherwise, the list of who can be rounded up and disappeared will just get longer and longer.
Spoiler alert: “Top Republicans” will bottom for Trump and take it with zero resistance like they have for almost a decade. They have no pride, loyalty to country, or actual power.
They sold their souls to the devil and won’t do anything but complain about it privately while supporting and voting for treason publicly.
It’s the economic version of recycling and your “carbon footprint.”
Nevermind the gigantic, multinational, conglomerate corporate monsters that are destroying everything- the environment, the economy, democracy, etc. It’s actually your fault personally for not inconveniencing yourself every day to make zero difference.
I can’t believe I missed the opportunity to text JD Vance pictures of sexy couches and love seats.
On the other hand, a single email or text to Hegseth might have exposed the entire American DoD if he was drunk enough. “Oops. Need to reset my password for important Secretary stuff. Here’s all my credentials.”
people tend to become dependent upon AI chatbots when their personal lives are lacking. In other words, the neediest people are developing the deepest parasocial relationship with AI
Preying on the vulnerable is a feature, not a bug.
Right now, the answer to authoritarianism isn’t to be quiet. It’s not matching pink outfits at a state address. It’s not throwing trans people under the bus. It’s not refusing to look at the party at all and see where it could be better. The answer is to very publicly, very loudly, very boldly, stand up. The only way to fight fascism, and this has been proven over and over and over again, is loudly, proudly, and every single day.”
Sounds infinitely better than the current Democratic/Nazi-lite party. Just don’t take money from billionaires. That’s how it starts.
It’s only a few months in. I wonder if what is left of Trump considers bringing professionals back into the room. That’s how he got through his first term. He has children working for him that need an adult.
Incompetence is the order of the day. What they’re worried about are people of conscience. Anyone who might question mass roundups and concentration camps needs to be discovered and fired early.
Brilliant work is done in bursts. Grinding it out day after day is factory line work. While that work is noble, the way it’s conducted doesn’t apply across the board. Task-oriented jobs should trust workers to complete tasks, not punch a time clock.
It’s about control. Tech bro billionaires are the only geniuses on earth, and we all need to fall in line. Nevermind that they are literal fascists who are actively destroying the world.
It sounds like an exaggeration, but efforts to combat climate change have grinded to a halt; WW3 is becoming more likely on multiple fronts; and, the most immediate problem not being addressed, the cost of living crisis is drowning virtually everyone. The only response from the right is to squeeze regular people more and pass tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy. There is no opposition.
They’ve bragged about fixing the last election. There are no consequences. We’ll just have to content ourselves with watching Tesla burn along with American democracy.
And the wealthy manage to come out on top every single time.
