The Right has spent years trying to push a return to child labor and attacking age of consent laws. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that they’re exposing us to mountains of the most horrendous stuff imaginable while also normalizing it.
So much of what’s happening is the destruction of childhood.
The hidden basis of so much of what’s happening with rising fascism is about children, namely destroying developed support and even care for them.
They’re being exploited, murdered in genocide, starved here and abroad. The education system is being completely destroyed.
The psychology of Right Wing authoritarianism is rooted in backgrounds of being abused as children by authoritarians and then becoming abusers when they are adults.
That happens in families and it scales upwards to culture and politics. That’s what’s happening now.

I think it should probably be a bigger story that the president of the United States is a raving lunatic
Trump at the National Prayer Breakfast: "We hit 'em. And we want to hit 'em right, sir, and we want to hit them from the top! East, west, north, south. Sir, they won't know what the hell! And we'll knock them out. We did it politically correct. Five years."
RFK is using his position to push things that have never shown any benefit in autism & have shown serious harms, including numerous dead kids thru the years. Why push for things known to harm instead of looking for things that could actually provide benefit? Because the harmful things are profitable
RFK Jr’s new autism committee has at least 8 members who are anti-vaxx or linked to groups that falsely claim vaccines cause autism
Now this
These dangerous ineffective treatments include chelation therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, detoxifying clay baths, & products like raw camel milk

These are the last words in the last column I wrote for The Washington Post, titled "When institutions crumble, strongmen step in".
www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...Jeff Bezos just fired hundreds of reporters at the Washington Post — including the Amazon reporter holding his OWN company accountable.
Reminder: Jeff Bezos' net worth is nearly $250,000,000.
Bezos just spent $40M to produce the Melania doc and another $35M to promote it.
The $75M tribute paid by Bezos to renew his vows of fealty is a cost of doing business with Donald Trump. Marketing campaign and theatrical release were required to maintain the illusion Melania is a legitimate production rather than a Maltese Falcon successfully delivered to its intended recipient.
I think this would have the opposite effect of what is intended. Instead of supressing the vote you’re going to end up with angry people even more determined to cast a ballot

A devastating day for the paper of record in our nation's capital.
Bezos just spent $40M sucking up to Trump with Amazon's 'Melania', but is now cutting a third of
@washingtonpost.com staff – including much of the international & local teams – for "budget" reasons?
(1/2)
Washington Post says one-third of its staff across all departments is being laid off
The Washington Post says one-third of its staff across all departments, not just the newsroom, is being laid off.
I expected the cuts would be bad but I'm honestly stunned and sickened seeing how many great journalists the Washington Post just lost. People who nailed huge investigations, documented war zones, exposed horrific crimes, dropped all at once for failures they did not cause.
Keep your friends close, and keep your enemy’s toaster.
Renee Good's brother: The deep distress our family feels is complicated by disbelief, distress, and desperation for change. Our family took some consolation thinking that Nay's death would bring about change. And it has not. These encounters with federal agents are changing the community forever.

Democrats will fight and block Trump’s calls to nationalize elections.

“Tech bros and venture capitalist backers of the engine of imaginary money worship the same god of bold disruption, and this would inevitably put them at odds with the preservation of the architecture of the free world.”
A year ago, two dams were opened as propaganda, spilling vital water resources into a void.
Now, it seems America is also spilling out into a void, evaporating away for absolutely no reason and nothing at all.
But we have a choice: say no to the lie.
I say no.

Three rules in FBI firearm training:
1. Always point your weapon downrange
2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot
3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot
Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like
happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.
An important point: The American people are not ambivalent. They may think they want a shooting war in MSP but they are not prepared for the level of backlash if they murder another observer.
it's grim, but the reality is that Trump wants more innocent people to die here in the Twin Cities and the GOP majorities in both chambers of Congress are either ambivalent about more lives being taken or outright support it

Destroying air travel in the U.S. before the midterms is a boss move, Markwayne. Don't listen to squishes who tell you voters won't like it. Do it and be a legend.
Markwayne Mullin: "I agree with what Lindsey is saying on defunding these sanctuary cities. We should pull our TSA agents out of their airports and not allow their airpot to be classified as international or even a regional hub. We should pull all of our aid."

I was a White House ethics lawyer.
I used to advise people not to even accept a free cup of coffee from someone who had interests before them. And staff followed those rules.
I can’t even find the words to describe the scale of Trump’s corruption here.
Foreign countries are bribing our president to sell out the American people.
Trump family businesses made $187 MILLION from this deal, and just months later he gave the UAE some of our most top-secret AI tech.
They are selling our national security to the highest bidder.
It almost seems like this guy is Donald John Trump's personal criminal defense lawyer. Oh wait a second .....
Blanche: "I don't appreciate it being directed towards Donald J Trump, because that pushes a narrative that is completely false. There are all kinds of people that are mentioned in the 'Epstein files' that we had to look at and run down."
One of the reasons the GOP is banning books, restricting teaching on accurate history, and destroying African American and Women’s Studies departments is to stop this response.
Learning about atrocities committed in our name makes (normal, good) people want to ensure it never happens again.
