All this just because for decades we asked them to behave and have decency. All this because we asked them to stop with the racist, xenophobic, homophobic misogynist slurs. All this because we won't accept the N-word, or rape jokes any more-all this...because we flew rainbows.

Republicans: “VOTER ID WOULD'VE SAVED US!” Democrats: “We won in 9 of the 10 strictest voter ID states.” Apparently, the only identification MAGA can't handle is identifying why voters rejected them.

Nothing will change until the perpetrators feel the same fear that their victims feel.
We are watching another phase of the Holocaust in Gaza. Tens of thousands of tents flooded in a matter of hours. Children buried alive when the ground collapsed beneath them. Families who survived the bombs now have nowhere to sleep, surrounded by sewage, exposed to disease and the freezing cold. Israel has destroyed the infrastructure necessary for human survival and continues to obstruct the materials needed to rebuild it. This is what extermination looks like beyond the bombs. Through displacement, exposure, disease and the systematic destruction of the conditions necessary to sustain life. I don’t even know what else there is to say anymore. We have watched every conceivable horror unfold before our eyes and still allowed it to continue. We have failed Gaza. We have failed humanity.

The kooky thing about Bernie's proposal to start Medicare at 55 is that I know he seriously consulted with economists, and they analyzed consequences from all angles, including resulting retirements/divorces/housing-inventory/death-rates, and they gave the plan a thumbs up.

Former prosecutor Hugo Holland compared a Black child to "a dog that needed to be put down" Had a confederate soldier portrait hanging in his office. Wrote an email in which he said he’d spend Veterans Day looking for “a Black guy or a Mexican." Kept an AR-15 on his desk. He stands accused of hiding evidence that would've likely exonerated 16 year old Corey Williams, a Black youth with intellectual disabilities. This week he was elected as a judge in Louisiana by 700 votes.

In August 2014, porn actress Christy Mack was found crawling naked on the street outside her Las Vegas home with 18 broken bones, severed ear, missing teeth, and a ruptured liver. Her ex-boyfriend, MMA fighter Jon "War Machine" Koppenhaver, had broken in and spent hours beating her and a friend. She was 23. She had been dating him for over a year. He had told her he would kill her if he ever caught her with another man. He caught her with a friend watching a movie. The video below is her testimony from his trial in 2017, under her real name Christine Mackinday. The Las Vegas Review-Journal filmed it. She is calm. She points at Koppenhaver across the courtroom. She describes him beating the male friend unconscious first. Then turning on her. Making her undress. Trying to saw her hair off with a kitchen knife. Punching her until she couldn't see out of her left eye. Telling her he was going to make her ugly so nobody else would want her. He tried to rape her. She told him she had to go to the bathroom first. She jumped from the second floor window and ran naked down the street until a neighbour found her. Her injuries: 18 broken bones, broken nose in two places, fractured rib, ruptured liver, leaking spinal fluid, missing teeth, cuts requiring staples. The ear had to be surgically reattached. She has had multiple reconstructive surgeries since. Koppenhaver fled to Simi Valley, California and was arrested a week later after being recognized at a hotel. The jury took 4 hours to convict him on 29 counts. He was sentenced to life with possibility of parole after 36 years. Christy quit the industry in 2017. She now lives privately, does voice acting, and speaks about domestic violence when asked. She has said the hardest part was not the attack but how many people, including other performers, told her she had provoked him. She survived. Most women in that situation do not. How does an adult man beat a woman like this for hours and tell himself the whole time that she deserved it?

My cousin lives in a tiny town in southwest Kansas and her county swung Democrat in the midterms by FIFTY TWO POINTS. It was all because of the horrific behavior of ICE. I pray to God our nightmare with that vile, corrupt agency has come to an end.

Elon bought a bunch of republicans and couldn't sell those to us either! Rough week!
Elon said he expected to sell 250,000 Cybertrucks per year. He only sold 56,000 over 4 years.

His impeachment.
Blanche: Everybody in this country should be really concerned at what these Democrats have done just over the past week. The election was just last week, and they are already talking about impeachments…

A growing body of recent research shows electromagnetic fields from data centers can disrupt honeybees’ magnetic navigation. For millions of years, bees have relied on this system to find their way back to the hive. Now data centers are putting bees at risk. If bees die out, human survival will become extremely difficult. Few people understand how critical this research is. What will we do once the pollinators are gone?

An auto parts manufacturer in Indiana has to pay $604,000 in unpaid overtime to 829 workers. The company Toa supplies parts to Subaru and Toyota. This is grand larceny with a slap on the wrist. Nobody will go to prison for this theft and the national media won't give a shit.

The Making of a Sadist It’s 1999. Real estate attorney Michael Miller has bad news for his 14-year old son. Business has slowed down and they will have to downsize and move to a less wealthy neighborhood. The private schools young Stephen hoped for are no longer in reach; he will have to go to Santa Monica High. The maid can’t stay. Stephen will have to clean up his own room. As a father of three grown men, I can attest that such a change could perturb any 14-year-old boy. But for young Steve Miller, this was his psychological Alamo. His teenage rage at being forced to go to school with people he was afraid of began to overtake his entire being. His fear was being transmuted to sadism. But it was 9/11 that cemented his life story. While it was a traumatic event for everyone who lived through it, for Steve Miller 9/11 became not just a reason to hate immigrants, but a reason to hate anyone who cares about them. His war became not just on Black and brown people, but on liberals, Democrats, and anyone else who sees immigrants as fellow humans. By 2002, at 16 years old, Steve Miller was waging war on his own high school, successfully agitating for more patriotic displays like the Pledge of Allegiance. He invited his new mentors, right-wing propagandists Larry Elder and David Horowitz, to speak to his class. And he was already using the local media to spread his eugenicist brand of hatred. During this period, Stephen Miller became obsessed with Camp of the Saints (1973), a luridly racist book which describes the apocalyptic downfall of Europe due to unmitigated migration. But it wasn’t just the immigrants that were targeted for hatred in the book; it was the people who tried to protect them. By the time Miller graduated high school, he had already decided on his life course: to attack liberal institutions with the goal of making them more racist and cruel. Before reaching college, Steve Miller had devoted himself to sadism as a lifestyle. He is now the most dangerous man in the world. Video: Produced by Stephen Miller’s classmates in 2002 Subscribe: mind-war.com
Stephen Miller recommended the racist, apocalyptic novel Camp of the Saints (1973) to Breitbart in 2015. Now he projects its paranoid dystopia onto America, but portrayed as a real emergency—or as Nazi jurist Carl Schmitt said: “a state of exception.” mind-war.com/p/stephen-mille…

They’re not trying to defeat MAGA, they’re trying to buy politicians to make sure they’re left alone by the government, whichever party is in power. You obviously know this but you choose to mislead and gaslight.
One of my political takes is that the people who give money to help beat Trump and the MAGA movement are the good guys not the bad guys.
