The fact that he’s allowed to be a public spokesperson for the administration speaks wonders. Wormtongue is supposed to be whispering in the shadows like he was in the first term. He’s now the public face of the mask off authoritarian message that keeps ramping up.

It’s hard to think of a story more newsworthy than a look inside the secret prison the US government is renditioning people to under some shady contract between authoritarian heads of state.

It’s good that Obama is stepping back into the spotlight. He still resonates with people as the last president we had before the world went insane.

He also reminds anyone wanting to run Trump in ‘28 that he would have another two-termer to contend with.

Barring that, he is still a unifying figurehead in the short term, while everyone watches Trump’s rapid decline.

The first thing I saw this morning when I opened X

My brother in Christ, it’s called Twitter and why are you still checking it? Embrace mental health.

Good to see resistance. Even if it doesn’t gather support now it’s always good to take the first steps. Move Kegsbreath’s impeachment into view in a corner of whatever the Overton window has become in the age of disinformation.

People have all kinds of sex without procreating. The ratio is actually raw-dogging without birth control to death.

The government finally reopens to a tsunami of applications that need to be processed by a decimated staff.

This is deliberate. It’s punitive. It’s like MAGA draws energy from human suffering, especially from their own people.

Data centers are basically Mako reactors from FF7.

A development this groundbreaking is definitely worth another 12-figure investment.

Trump could shoot a guy on Fifth Avenue, but blowing him might be a bit much for MAGA.

You ignore the red flags when your boss’s boss’s boss goes to the island paid for by the red flags.

The key to beating the final boss of quantum superposition is leaving everything alone to do its thing. The best of all possible worlds unfolds around you. Just don’t look at it.

The New York Times reported that fragments that fell from the 155mm shell landed on vehicles parked on a ramp on Interstate 5 – a major artery through southern California – which governor Gavin Newsom had ordered closed after learning that military officials had no plans to close the freeway

No intention of closing the freeway for a live fire exercise right above it.

The oligarchs have always sided with the Nazis. Look up the business plot and Smedley Butler, the hero who turned down the role of Fuhrer

Wait until the $200 billion they put into ICE starts paying off. This shit is just testing the waters. By the midterms, they’ll be talking about “illegals” voting in elections and turning the ICE-enforced police state loose on the polls to intimidate voters.

In Nazi Germany, the “legal” enforcers stood over you while you either checked voting for the Nazi party or not. Russia’s elections are similar. America’s elections have had problems over the centuries, but they’ve never been that. Not on a national level across the board. It’s the KKK burning crosses everywhere all at once.

It’s simple. The water serves the data. How dare you use the water for peasant needs? It has a higher purpose feeding chatbots and chatbot enablers.

Is Trump trying to use Vance’s complete and utter lack of charisma to kill the Epstein story? Make every response as dry as trying to fuck a couch cushion.

Interesting strategy from Trump, but I wonder if Vance’s handlers like making him the face of the Epstein coverup.

Gaza’s property values will go through the roof on a very long timeline.

The American experiment has well and truly failed in the Information Age. Emotional ties to national politics guide most voters far more than self-interest or even oblivious interests of the local community. Gerrymandering has silenced local communities but has also become a weapon yielded that cannot be ignored. “When they go low, we go high” was naive back then. It’s suicidal now.

Gerrymandering is just a symptom of the monolithic fascism that is designed to funnel tax breaks to and end corruption investigations of the oligarchs who run everything. They steal our money and rape children right in front of our eyes, and they get away with it.

It would be nice to think Texas will do the right thing and provide representation, but they won’t. Blue state governors and legislatures need to adjust accordingly.

The beauty of the 300-year-old American federalist system is that states enjoy a wide range of special rights to be ultimately determined by the current makeup of the Supreme Court with absolutely no checks on their power. Supreme Court Justices are lifetime appointees who can be bribed publicly and are free to lie about it, and there is no mechanism to question their ethics or remove them from their positions outside of a full impeachment like with Trump.

The state supreme courts have a good deal of power, but only to the extent that the federal Supreme Court doesn’t take it away. I can’t imagine a more fertile ground for fascism to be experimented upon legally if people of conscience do nothing.
