Many have tried to destroy the U.S. Constitution. The British monarchy tried in 1812, the confederate states tried in 1861, the empire of Japan tried in 1941, the soviet empire tried variously in the second half of the 20th century and UBL tried in 2001.

Every single one of those things is dead (UK is not functionally a monarchy); yet the U.S. Constitution lives on.

Well I can't argue that a bunch of folks yelling bullshit wouldn't help.the next CPC convention.

The centre-right CDU in Germany doesn't form a coalition with the neo-nazi AfD, it forms the coalition with the centre left SPD.

Conservative Churchill didnt accept Hitler's "invitation" to be Führer of Britain.

Republicans and Harperites did.

🚨"We don’t have to immediately contract the flu when someone in America coughs."

"A brief reminder: When the Europeans conquered the American continent in the early 16th century, at a time when coyotes and grizzlies were still bidding each other good night where New York and Los Angeles would later appear – Raphael, Michelangelo and Leonardo were feverishly drawing, painting and building the Medici’s Florence, the spiritual center of the world. And this High Renaissance was itself just a "rebirth" of the venerated advanced civilizations of Greek and Roman antiquity a couple thousand years ago."

ZEIT ONLINEEurope and the US: Thanks America, That’ll Be AllAndy Warhol, Big Mac, iPhone: It was a grand American epoch. But it’s over. Europe must finally emancipate itself – just not as awkwardly as Jürgen Habermas might like.

Trump’s authoritarian regime, with its fearmongering, #immigration crackdown, corruption, Jim Crow disenfranchisement, & McCarthyism, is rupturing, & social conflict is erupting.

“Just like McCarthy, Trump spreads fear everywhere before picking off his targets:

Arrests, blacklists and #deportations are chilling reminders of the red scare that transformed America.”

In <100 days, the #TrumpMusk regime has become a rogue nation, powerless, & shunned by 1st world countries, for its alignment with Putin, lawlessness, corruption, inequality, expansionism, collective narcissism, hostility, & moral decay.

"My client -an INTL org that interacts with countries on every continent -no longer wants: money going to American individuals or IDU, & an American-sounding voice to be associated with its hope-filled endeavors."

"The same week that we were told that up to A MILLION KIDS COULD DIE abroad bc of cuts to the US aid budget here’s the official Twitter acct of the GOP-led House Foreign Affairs CMTE CELEBRATING THE DEATH/KILLING of #USAID. Hard to be more sociopathic than this."
-M Hasan

"This was actually tweeted by the US House CMTE on Foreign Affairs. The US Congress has become a frat house. The adolescent CHM is Rep Mast."
-M Fraser

The only law we have left, is the #law of #power -anyone who doesn't have power is illegal.

Noem made a video of herself standing in front of a cage full of alleged gang members in SLV. The regime sent them there w/o #dueprocess.

“If you come to our country illegally -this is one of the consequences you can face."

A Sullivan: “These wannabe fascists publicly delight & revel in their acts of domination in a manner that even despotic regimes avoid.

The Editorial Board. · Once again, but this time, with feeling: sadism is the pointThe weekend edition of the Editorial Board.

I learned a new, Japanese word today thanks to a Reddit comment. A single word that sums up the current #AmericanGovernment. Chuuni (中二, short for "chuunibyou," 中二病) is a Japanese slang term that translates to "middle school second-year syndrome" or "eighth-grader syndrome." Chuuni refers to a phase that some adolescents go through, typically around the age of 13 or 14, where they exhibit behavior such as having delusions of grandeur, seeking attention, or acting as if they possess special abilities or knowledge that others don't have.

The term is often used in the context of anime and manga culture to describe characters who exhibit these traits, including pretending to have magical powers, embracing dark or mysterious personas, or generally acting in an exaggerated or overly dramatic manner. Chuuni characters can be seen as endearing or annoying, depending on the context and the viewer's perspective. #coup #AmericanCoup #USPol #politics #Chuuni #GOP #Republicans

Vance did not visit Greenland.

Because unwelcome.

Vance touched down at a US controlled military base. In the far frozen north, away from towns, not connected by roads.

The base was donated because of friendship, alliance, treaty and NATO, for mutual defence.

Thugs used the honoured friendship base to threaten Greenland.

Thugs.

The stink of Shame like a bad deodorant.

It would stink in every room.

U.S. Congresswoman Maxine Dexter, M.D., a Democrat, held a "telephone town hall" a few days ago.

With 12,000 people.

In Oregon.

The district she represents includes most of the east side of Portland and reaches into Gresham. There is a large minority population here, and I imagine they are up in arms about what is going on at the federal level.

She's holding an in-person town hall next Sunday, April 6th at 3:30 pm at Parkrose Middle School in Portland. I wonder if the turnout will equal or surpass the telephone version.

Paul Weiss & Skadden? My gosh, I haven’t heard that name in a while. Weren’t they the law firm that exposed their inability to defend anyone back in 2025? So many talented lawyers and staff with such potential, turned to ash in an instant. Kinda sad if they hadn’t chosen it for themselves.
