Centrist Joe Walsh gets a smackdown.
Citizens United was the Republican response to Obama raising small amounts of money from millions of people to finance his 2008 campaign.
Republicans knew they could never compete, so enter Citizens United.
Now we have oligarchs underwriting fascism.
There are some things you can disagree on and still be friends. Pineapple on pizza. DC v Marvel movie franchises. Dogs v cats.
But fascism and trying to dictate how others define themselves or live their lives? Yeah, no, that's not on the list.

much better footage of the haka that shut down parliament today
Give it up for New Zealand’s Indigenous Maori lawmakers and Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke!
Hana-Rawhiti Kareariki Maipi-Clarke, the youngest MP in Aotearoa, starts a haka to protest the first vote on a bill reinterpreting the 1840 Treaty of Waitangi
do you ever see paleolithic art and go “oh fuck that’s good” like they hadn’t developed agriculture or the wheel but god damn could they paint horses real good
look at this pretty accurate horse art. this is from chauvet cave and is between 31,000 to 28,000 years old.
Meanwhile, none of this addresses what public goods result from your taxes. The argument against taxes is only ever about “my money” going to help “other people”. That’s not an argument; that’s selfishness.
Backpacking is About to Change (and here's what we can do)
joe biden, you stupid fuck. listen to me. Crimes are legal for sitting presidents as long as they’re official actions. Listen: Joe. You have one chance
Even if he decides not to do, y'know, the obvious, there's gotta be some creative ways he can fuck shit up for Trump. Nothing he does in terms of actual policy will stick, but make Trump spend his first hundred days undoing Biden's last 75.
Especially make him undo stuff that will be incredibly popular. Executive order legalizing marijuana nationwide. Declare a free pizza party for the whole country, scheduled for the first week of February.
Declassify Trump's IRS records, his FBI file, and everything available about his personal habits during his previous stay in the White House. Did he ever order any pay-per-view porn? Clog a toilet? The American people deserve to know.
I'm just spit balling here; I'm sure there are even better ideas.
Humbly submitting that it would also be very funny if he resigned and then Kamala did all those things
Honestly resigning so that the country gets a black Asian woman President whether the assholes like it or not would be the funniest thing he could do all on its own.
If it makes any of you feel better, Donald Trump will have an uphill battle to change the constitution. He will need:
-2/3 of Senators (67)
-2/3 of the House of Representatives (290)
-3/4 of the states (38)
In 2026, 33 senate seats will be up for grabs, and we’ll be able to vote for people who are against Trump and his ideals.
Breathe and remain hopeful because it’s not over. We can still fight and make Trump’s last four years hell.

Imagine you're so small and cold and scared but there's smaller ones that are smaller and colder and more scared. I'm going to cry
