“I want to tell you what I really think of Donald Trump. This man is a pathological liar… He lies practically every word that comes out of his mouth… The man cannot tell the truth, but he combines it with being a narcissist at a level I don’t think this country has ever seen.”
— Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), 10 years ago today.

The moment America is in right now is akin to the dangerous period of time when a woman decides to leave her abuser and odds of his violent escalation increase -- and so does her death.

The Guardian: Billionaires fund California ballot measure to make voters show ID at polls

I'm not a violent man, but I'm concerned that the only way we'll save democracy in the U.S. is to line up a bunch of traitors against the wall and shoot them.
And I don't just mean traitors to the U.S. I mean traitors to democracy.
We did not shoot nearly enough people for treason at the end of the Civil War, and we're still paying for that.
At this point I put in the "needs to be shot" category any member of Congress who does not condemn the raid on #IlhanOmar's house.

the problem with #USpol #journalism in 3 #APNews headlines, as they appear on their website’s home page.
don't matter about the nuance of the articles. the headlines are doing that thing USA #media have done in 50 years of this #neoliberal #austerity #capitalism hellscape: to not outright factor in inflation in the real totals of “cost of living adjustments”.
this is particularly egregious given USA’s federal minimum wage is $7.25 an hour.

"The federal government’s own statistics tell a different story. Confirmed cases of intentional program violations — fraud — committed by SNAP recipients account for $64 million a year, or about 0.08% of all benefits issued annually, according to the most recent 50-state reports compiled by the U.S. Department of Agriculture."

This is the kind of behaviour X enables and amplifies. It says a lot about the values of those who engage in it.
But what does it say about our democratically elected representatives who continue legitimising this platform because they don't want to lose their followers?
What values are they defending?
What we’re up against in the U.S. during this election.
Yesterday:
1. Meta closed the No Kings accounts on the day of the protest. Restored them later, saying “our bad.” But did not restore admin privileges.
2. We learned that millions of people had no idea about the protests because Meta suppressed posts about it.
3. Bluesky closed the Democracy Now account for “unusual activity.” (No idea if it has been restored.)
And for months we’ve been watching the fascists do everything in their power to restrict voting rights.
The billionaires know they’re the minority. Not economically (which is obvious) but ethically. Otherwise they wouldn’t be working so hard to stop democracy.
I wanna believe most Americans are good people. We’re fighting for what’s right. But our enemy has massive resources and control. That what we need to quell.
Keep fighting. Stay vigilant. And for fuck’s sake, vote!
