This deep, aggressive slide into anti-intellectualism is so infuriating because we’re not even combatting opposing views with merit anymore, it’s just fully grown adults being defiantly incurious morons.
PabloReports: What do you make of Trump saying that he doesn’t think about Americans’ financial situation?
Rep. Jamie Raskin: I was surprised to hear that because I always thought he was so concerned with how working-class Americans were doing in his wretched economy. I thought he woke up every day wondering how people are going to pay for their groceries and their rent.
The guy has made over a billion since he got into office. He doesn’t view the government as an instrument of wellbeing for the people; he views it as an instrument for private self-enrichment and corruption.
I appreciate the fact that he has a condition that causes him to blurt out the truth on occasion.
Samuel Alito quoting FAKE DATA in his ruling that gutted the Voting Rights Act should be GROUNDS FOR DISMISSING THE DECISION AND FOR HIS IMMEDIATE REMOVAL.
i hate the idea that americans won’t revolt bc we’re ”lazy” and not because our government has spent the better part of 100 years and trillions of dollars /perfecting/ the art of global counterrevolution and repression. this is literally the final boss lmao
whenever democrats want to do something good they’re stymied by odd court decisions or the parliamentarian or whatever. whenever republicans want to want to make voting illegal for half of people in a days notice they get valet service and a firm handshake. it’s a good system.

Let’s talk reality. A Jewish baby born today in a West Bank community will have full rights in Israel, a vote in national elections, and access to civilian courts; a Palestinian baby born in that same community will have no democratic rights, tight restrictions on their movement, frequent harassment from settlers, and no access to justice beyond what Israel’s unaccountable military courts mete out. That’s apartheid.
