What in the cinnamon shrimp toast is going the fuck on over there?

“A federal appeals court on Thursday ended an independent review of documents seized from former President Donald Trump’s Florida estate, removing a hurdle the Justice Department said had delayed its criminal investigation into the retention of top-secret government information.” #trump #corruption #espionage https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-mar-a-lago-criminal-investigations-government-and-politics-16748b82a502c0eec977d3ec51390027

I fully stand behind Rep. #HakeemJeffries as the leader of the Democratic Party caucus in the United States House of Representatives and soon-to-be House Minority Leader.

Hakeem Jeffries was just unanimously elected leader of the House Democrats. He will be the GOP’s worst nightmare.

One of the common authoritarian delusions, quite independent of any ideology, is that if you can make people stop talking about a problem it will make the problem go away.

This is the result of seeing the world as entirely a product of talk, advertising, and propaganda: what people don't know won't hurt them, and if you ban the rabble-rousers, everyone will be content.

This ignores the existence of a layer of reality that's not just talk, and which actually affects real people.

GOP is an extremist ⚪️ nationalist party‼️The MAJORITY of GOP Senators voted AGAINST protecting same-sex marriage, interracial marriage! That’s why it’s so IMPORTANT to re-elect Senator Warnock who believes love is love! 🏳️‍🌈❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤎🏳️‍⚧️ #FreshResists #DemVoice1 #ONEV1 #wtpBlue

I don't know why I can still be amazed at the deafness over #antisemitism, #racism, and #bigotry in the GOP. Does no one in the party see any lines that may not be crossed?

If you think it's too early to worry about Ron DeSantis or think he's too unlikable to win the White House I have a question for you.

Were you surprised on Election Day in 2016 that Trump won?

If so, please remember clearly that pain mixed with total surprise and listen to me now: Ron DeSantis is the biggest threat to democracy alive right now and you're making the exact same mistake you made in 2016.

Except Trump ran for attention. DeSantis only wants power. Unlimited power. #politics

“'Musk’s takeover of Twitter is nothing less than apocalyptic for our communities,' said Thenmozhi Soundararajan, executive director of Dalit civil rights organization Equality Labs. 'This is not about hurt feelings. This is about direct calls to violence.'” #twitter #musk #humanrights https://time.com/6237204/elon-musk-twitter-amnesty-advocates/

Maybe one day Elon Musk will learn the difference between free speech and hate speech.

So my account was locked on Twitter for six days because I made a joke about Hershel Walker bathing in bleach when he found out Donald was speaking to White Supremacists . . .

meanwhile after reporting a MAGA Woman for spouting all sorts of covid misinformation and vitriolic transphobia, "It was determined she did not violate ANY of their TOS.

So much for Elon allowing "Free Speech."
