Stephen Miller is himself Jewish. Like with Latinos, Jewishness is an ethnicity rather than a race, and the white Jews can buy into white supremacy even when other white supremacists might reject them as white.

I don’t think the Nobel committee expected their award to precipitate armed intervention, which is the opposite of peace.

Then they’re idiots and the prize itself is worthless. That was clear as day going to be the promoted result. If they just wanted to promote democracy they could have easily chosen an activist in a country not in the process of being attacked or an activist that wasn’t currently encouraging war.

I don’t give them the benefit of assumed stupidity. I think they were neoliberals who were particularly concerned by the nationalized industries in Venezuela and who thought even if they found him abhorrent Trump could be a good tool to help set the imperialist-capitalist world back arright.

Next week: Gavin Newsome featuring Jonathan Ross (givesendgo link in the details)

Since a medical professional wouldn’t use the term “torso” (they’d call it the chest or abdomen), it’s probably safe to assume they’re just making stuff up.

I think they pocket-affirmed the Texas map that had been blocked by a Reagan appointee.

Josh Hawley is such a fake piece of shit. He talks big and then folds every single time.

When he wasn’t even willing to say whether there may have already been illegal military actions any slight interest I had evaporated. Even his “fight” is the meekest moderate pushback, in court, eventually, and with no specific accusations about his opponent. We need someone who actually seems to feel something other than bemusement that his mild opposition garnered a response.

FFS, Jerome Powell is putting up a more direct confrontation with the regime and he’s a Republican corporate tool whose whole persona is built on being respectful and unemotional.

Half the country wants to abolish ICE and you’re pretending only socialists care about whether their representative joined in on a modern day Willie Horton act that played right into their racist movement.

Really bending over backward to sanewash the fascism. Protectionism is pretty far afield from touting heritage and homeland. Lots of diverse immigrant union members on board with protectionism and almost never for nationalistic reasons.

Even if you’re a dumb shit conservative who can’t recognize obvious patterns, why is the Department of Labor posting nationalistic “patriotic” slogans? What does that have to do with labor?

Almost perfect, just needs more passive voice. “Police engaged” sounds like they might even be the cause of the death.

Just make it illegal to pee, duh!

When you see a breakdown like this it makes it clear that judges are just a different form of politician and the law is nearly entirely corrupted.

I find all the added Mastodon cruft in Lemmy posts annoying. The added @ tags take up space and turn into pointless links, and hashtags disrupt the flow of reading. Beyond that, they’re different forms of communication with different purposes. Just use both pieces of software for their intended use. I have both Mastodon and Lemmy accounts.

Or she was in on the coup and Trump’s initial statements about her running things for him weren’t just a product of the kakistocracy.

Public statement: “We will not bow down to US imperialism!”

Trump: “What the fuck, we had a deal, I’ll kill you.”

Private statement: “Jesus, do you not understand that I need to say that to rally support to take over?”

Trump: “I don’t understand anything at all, say the secret deal publicly or I’ll kill you.”

Public statement: “We look forward to giving our nominal enemy everything they want.”

Not to disagree with anything you said, but be careful applying American exceptionalism to the problem of fascism. This shit is international. We attract the worst people from around the globe to push hard here, but everywhere in the English-speaking world is backsliding under the same influence campaigns, and they see and support their fellow fascists in non-English countries. Many of our worst influences are foreign born (Musk, Thiel, Murdock) and hold no devotion to the US. It’s just the most profitable market to capture. But they won’t stop here.

You went through the bullshit to give the federal government a photograph for their facial recognition database associated with high quality identifying information.

Literally every document can be faked. Passport? Fake. Birth certificate? Fake. The supposed point of REAL ID was to be a reliable document. You can fly with one, but if a Temu Nazi making a “targeted” random stop says it’s a worthless piece of plastic you lose an hour of your life. For living your life in your home country after doing everything the government asked. If the organization who certifies the IDs won’t accept them, why did we go through the effort of making a national ID system that verified lawful status?

And if this was a case about California ID, maybe their fuck up would be relevant, but this is a filling for a case where a US citizen with an Alabama ID was detained.

Turns out all you need to do to ignore the Constitution is change your word choice.
