I don’t know how anyone can look at what the GOO has done, is currently doing, and plans to do and still assume their are guardrails in place that will stop them.
30-40% of Tennesseans vote Democrat. Blackburn's attitude is typical of Republicans. They don't want these people to have any voice whatsoever in their government.
And again I say "huh - who could have possibly foreseen that a well funded, decades long christofascist effort to implode the judiciary would turn out like this?"
Perhaps the Roberts Court has done us a favor by clarifying that being pro-white and being Republican are actually, officially, the same thing, Now the GOP can be openly racist without having to admit that they are. No longer will Republican politicians have to hide their dislike of non-white voters, they can just ignore them and claim they're only acting for legally sanctioned partisan advantage. Roberts and Alito will definitely go into the history books for this.
After the decision to cancel roe without pushback, they, like Ttump, feel free to let their primitive base agenda move forward. Then the coup will be complete.
We are in. A Vastly different country then just a year ago.
that's the only fig leaf left. should we be grateful modern maga is too stupid to not say the q̶u̶i̶e̶t̶ racist part out loud instead of saying Democrats?
O/T: “If the drug was $100 and it raised the price to $600 that would be a 600% rise,” Kennedy said. “If it drops from $600 to $100, that’s a 600% savings. - Brainworm math
Obviously the entire purpose of Trump 2 was to eradicate multiracial democracy, but there is also the part in their desire to obliterate education about the Civil Rights Movement and about Black and non-white history entirely from schools to try desperately for something else they not only want but need- the mandated ignorance of their own bigotry. To be confronted by the history of their beliefs and the people who perpetuated them is to stain them with the association. Because they know what they do is to cause harm. They know it is to oppress and suffocate, like a knee on a neck, they know it is to victimise and revel in cruelty. What they fear so much is being told that it is.
I really was blind to how long a grudge racists will hold in this country. Like, fuck, over a 150 years since the Civil War and these fuckers just keep on being pricks about it.
And my fellow white people who've hemmed and hawed about it for over a century. JFC, this is infuriating.
They have no idea what it is like to grow up without privilege, property, literacy, intact families not ripped apart, intergenerational commerce, a feeling of security…it is *not the same.*
It's nice that we're still pretending that the Alito court isn't criminally corrupt.

Blackburn? That hag is an insult to stumps.
Love the shout out to Arlo Guffrie's "Alice's Restaurant"!

They'll go to hell for this. The sooner the better.

"keep in mind that Trump’s approval was already at an all-time low"

"a delusional Trump: "Everyone says if I was on the ballot, we'd win in a landslide. I have some of the best poll numbers I've ever had.""
Put this lie in the same file as his assertion that Trump Tower has 10 more floors than it actually does.
Greta. The face lift didn’t work. Hate ages.
Sure, if you're playing golf.

I was kidding (I think). There's catnip - can I smoke that?
noooo :/

To learn that would be to admit that violent retribution against them is fully justifiable.
We should be discussing Fanon.

Yep. Cali boy me. When I lived in Virginia I learned the Civil War is still going on.
Just the shooting has stopped. Most of it.
I don't want to turn on Nicolle's show. I don't think I can handle it.
She's hammering home the price of The Gas.
is mostly just people from a few days ago at gas stations.
Miles Taylor ('Anonymous') is on. I bet you can't guess what he's wearing.
Paper bag?

Banksy confirms a new statue in central London of a man blinded by a flag is his work

dunno why i thought it would be someone getting shot with a flag to the eyes with a t-shirt cannon.
Nice
And straight into the abyss. Now THAT is fucking profound.
Goose-stepping into the future!
That... is pretty powerful.
I've said this a million times:
Damn, I wish I'd done that.
By the way, our redistricting measure here in Virginia (which was approved by voters) remains on hold while under review by the state’s high court.
I can’t think of a better metaphor for the rot at the heart of modern American democracy.
Voters choosing their reps is nonsense. Obviously reps should be choosing their voters!
An ugly word I try to avoid is hate but that fuckin picture of the cops standing off against my fellow Americans crosses the line. I hate that image.
It depicts everything wrong with us.
And it’s coming back
I can't rescue nuff dogs and cats to feed all the Haitians!
