Political 

@DeanObeidallah
I'm disappointed in the way our protections for this mad political period have failed us. The handlers of the 2016 primary or the electoral college could have derailed Trump, but didn't.

After the insurrection, the DOJ could have moved against the high level politicians involved. We are still waiting.

Enacting the 14th amendment would kick out insurrectionists, but it's not being used.

Overbearing audacity is all it has taken to create this peril.

People who still Support Donald Trump are identical to people who still supported the Confederacy after the Civil War.

If you don't like how we punch Nazis now.... You should have seen what we did to them in the 40s... Fascism isn't to be debated it is meant to be destroyed

Momo's special doggie birthday cake (chicken breast, carrot, egg, goat's milk, cheese) that I bought her was unceremoniously demolished in seconds. I can't even take pictures fast enough to catch Facai eating it was gone so fast😅

This is the story that needs to be told again and again:

The coup plotters now control the House and they're holding the economy hostage -- which means your job, your house, your retirement -- in order to help finish off the coup.

So basically the same people that were begging for pardons two years ago now run the show.

#introduction 👋 I mostly lurked on Twitter because it wasn't very inviting at all. Thinking of posting some techy stuff I encounter daily. I study at the excellent Security and Network Engineering master @ os3.nl, which often makes my gears grind so that should be interesting 🙂

You know how in life sometimes the new doesn't come (or you can't see it) until you've said no to the old?

I think the transition to a just and ecological society will be that way, at least in part.

My teachers emphasized vision, and I think that's critical. But abolition is an ingredient in transformation too.

The two make space for each other, perhaps.

As I get older, I am definitely becoming more proficient at seeing/reading something that would have riled me when I was younger and instead processing the information calmly to go on with my life. I'm not entirely certain this is due to the steady erosion of my faculties, or becoming "wiser". I'm also not sure it matters which.

Josh Marshall notes that in the disgraceful show the Republicans have just staged for the whole world, the disgraced George Santos was increasingly glued to Matt Gaetz, Lauren Boebert, and Marjorie Taylor Greene:

"If you watched TV and photographic coverage of the Speakership drama Rep. Santos spent a lot of time on the floor with Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Greene and Lauren Boebert."

Just a heads up friends~ if you think I am ignoring you .. it’s almost definitely the twitter algorithm.I’m getting very few ‘notifications’ and not seeing many people’s tweets at all.
As our malign overlords say: ‘it’s not my fault’ . Blame Musk.

The Red Summer riots of 1919. After WWI, black veterans across the U.S. used their military training to defend their communities against ethnic cleansing efforts by white mobs.

It would just be nice if the press pointed out the GOP's plan is to destroy the global economy if they don't get the horribly unpopular things they want.

RT @LOLGOP@twitter.com

Here's the story that the press & even Dems are missing about the GOP chaos on Capitol Hill:

These 20 Trump Republicans want the same thing Trump wants -- the power to destroy the country if they don't get what they want.

That's what this is all about.
