No worries, Floridians. Desantis has a plan to oppress gay people even harder, which will make the hurricanes stop.

Federal stormtroopers invading cities to grab every Hispanic person they see and figure out who to arrest/deport later. Really every minority who doesn’t have a government ID physically on them when stopped and questioned.
Raids of entire neighborhoods. Forcibly and likely at night while everyone is sleeping for “officer safety.” The child separation policy could also be in effect, ripping families apart as they are hauled away separately in police buses to overcrowded concentration camps with little food, clean water, and medical care.
Trump’s America
DeSantis took a good shot at being Trump 2.0. He had the media attention, truckloads of money, a bully pulpit he used to attack "Wokeism" 24/7 while implementing actual hard right policies. On paper, he should have attracted MAGA voters, at the very least as a possible successor to Trump. Instead, it just... didn't work.
Trump captured lightning in a bottle in 2016. He was able to present himself as this John Galt-like figure while also leveraging his media savvy to control narratives and dominate coverage. Obviously, not everyone bought it, but enough did to win the election. No one on the right has those qualities now. It may not even be possible to duplicate. At this point, even the 2024 version of Trump is failing to live up to 2016 Trump.
Vance is quite probably the worst VP pic in modern history. Palin riled up the base as intended. Mondale added gravitas as intended. What has Vance added to the Trump campaign?
And with Trump's age and obvious cognitive decline, he's not the future of MAGA. Trump won't be the Fuhrer of Project 2025. Vance will be.
Someone tried to kill Trump at a rally. He still does rallies. Someone tried to kill Trump on a golf course. He still golfs.
Trump would rather be shot at again than have to face Harris on the debate stage. You quickly find out that bullies are actually cowards once you see someone stand up to them and punch them in the face.
Even better, they said she had a “mental health” episode when she was doing her job to see that Arlington wasn’t desecrated.
She later refused to press charges, because she knew that would subject her family, friends, coworkers, and herself to the right wing death/rape/torture threat machine.
But the US system ranks first in wealth extraction from people to billionaires, so it’s working as intended.
He also controls the satellites used for communication on battlefields and has already turned them off unilaterally during an important Ukrainian operation in the Black Sea.
He can run Twitter and Tesla into the ground, but SpaceX needs to be nationalized. Its compromise is a national security threat.
I blacked out in my hallway due to blood loss,” she says in the video. “I developed a heart condition called AFib. It means my heart doesn’t work right anymore, and it fucks up. So, if I get too excited, too hot, too much in pain, too traumatized, if somebody yells at me too much, my heart fucks up. So, I have to regulate for my heart to keep active, otherwise, I could have a heart attack and die. I have to deal with these side effects for the rest of my life because of abortion laws
Even if you want to ban abortion generally, you can make clear exceptions that avoid situations like this. They know that and chose not to. The cruelty is the point.
two “Kremlin-aligned” groups have in recent weeks spread videos including those showing Harris supporters attacking supporters of former President Donald Trump, and another video that used an actor to pose as Harris in a fictitious hit-and-run incident
One of those things is not like the other. Fake videos with an actress posing as Harris? To fake a video of the Vice President of the United States committing a crime?
WT actual F? Has media literacy dropped so low that garbage like that video is effective? In all the aggressive vetting in all her years as Senator, presidential candidate, and as VPOTUS, no one managed to find the “hit-and-run” tape that some rando (read: Russian intelligence agent) dug up on the internet?
I know critical thinking is at an all-time low, but that’s still absolutely ridiculous.
Here we fucking go. We’re about to find out how far down that rabbit hole goes.
The right wingers get almost everything wrong, but I 100% believe that the 1% in America are into all kinds of fucked up shit. The rule of law has failed, and their money and power has insulated them from consequences.
Why is that weird? I put things out hoping someone will grab it, so i don’t have to risk the city not taking it.
