How it feels looking for a job in the midst of a recession, ICE raids, and the onset of WWIII

[Mike Nellis @MikeNellis]

We are getting ourselves involved in another war in the Middle East—with even dumber fucking people in charge than the last time.

1. The National Socialists -- Steve Bannon, Josh Hawley, Tucker Carlson -- want to maintain or expand the social safety net for members of the nation

You know. The good people. Not immigrants or commies or, um. Undesirables

They're furious about the BBB's tax cuts for the rich

[ADAM @AdameMedia]

See how it works?

Feel like most people never played the game of Risk growing up and now it shows when people are trying to talk about geopolitics and wars.

@zoradi63 @MiddleAgeCrazy @BrittNotABot @acnewsitics Also if you are a contractor, you submit your taxes yearly and then have to pay then because the employer doesn’t take out taxes. So contractors could “not pay” their taxes & it will be awhile before the system catches up.

@davenewworld_2 Fifty I thought you were anti Harris though based on previous comments on this topic. Are you surprised this is the path Dumpy took???

[Jessica Valenti @JessicaValenti]

I know everyone is talking about Matt Gaetz but please don't miss this:

Georgia fired every single person on its maternal mortality review committee. Why? They didn't like that reporters found out that the state's ban killed two women

[Living in Dystopia @daisygoddess]

Y’all out here excited about Gaetz withdrawing…wait til he appoints Judge Aileen Cannon as the AG. From one version of bad to another version of bad.

@lestercrafton @Rothmus @hagaetc Or that when she wrote AS she was in NY the same time as Nikola Tesla. Took me a long time before I made that correlation.

The people in my autism parenting groups who are just figuring out what gutting the Department of Education is going to do to their kids, after they voted for Trump. Whew, chile. It’s a whole lotta, “They can’t do that, right?” Nah, bro. They can and they’re gonna.

[Tom Santos @tommysantos14]

So when Trump fires all non-partisan career professionals in government, replaces them with radical loyalists within every nook and cranny of the US government, and adds radical judges everywhere.

And every one of you that voted for him finally wake up from your fucked up fantasy just like the folks that woke up after 4 years of the last shit show, only to realize it’s much much worse, and much more permanent, this time.

When the cancer you caused has infected every bit of the American system and it can’t be unwound for a lifetime.

What then?

Do you beg this country for forgiveness for choosing fascism because you were conned into believing your eggs are too expensive because of Joe Biden?

You just put Steve Bannon in charge of American policy.

You just put Michael Flynn in charge of our military.

You just put Alex Jones in charge of media and propaganda.

You just put Stephen Miller in charge of immigration policy.

You just put batshit crazy RFK Jr. in charge of health policy.

You just killed free public education and privatized schools, which you will have to pay for.

You just sealed the deal on a national abortion ban, because you’re demented if you think it’s not coming.

You just radicalized the Supreme Court for a generation.

You just made women less safe and less free.

You just made this country an oligarchy with the billionaires quite literally in charge now.

You just put in office the one person that believes a president is a king, with the fucking Supreme Court ruling to prove it in his back pocket!

You just ushered in Fascism.

Because your cereal costs more.

Congratulations.

[USMNT 🇺🇸 Thoughts @USMNT_Thoughts]

If MLS really wanted to support the women’s game, it would invest in NWSL instead of creating a competing product.
