This should fit in nicely with their plans to increase child labor. “Hungry? Get a job, ya little freeloader!”

Seriously, fuck these people.

⬆️ Republicans would wrestle each other to the ground to be the one to take the gruel away from Oliver.

It is all about the cruelty.

Is there no precedent this court will not depart from? We can't have individual states throwing Trump off the ballot because that would be “chaos” but we can have individual states creating and enforcing their own immigration policies as if they were separate countries? How on earth can the court justify this?

Don’t let any more Republican Presidents get elected. We can’t have any more right wingers on our courts.

Supreme Court allows Texas to enforce immigration law:

I wonder if in the future if there will be just an accepted custom that rulings from the corrupt and illegitimate Roberts Court will not be regarded as precedence?

I already got one comment claiming solar power won’t work because “night” and another that made up nonsense about batteries.

Batteries are part of solidifying the renewable energy grid.

To those that say batteries aren’t clean or are costly, that might be partially true now, but they get cleaner and cheaper every year. Current deployments while maybe suboptimal are simply a step on the path. 1/2

Batteries are taking on gas plants to power California’s nights:

I have a friend whose partner is a doctor in the ER. They say the first objective with anyone coming in is to keep them breathing and stabilize the patient

This goes for our Climate Crisis too; we need to keep breathing by getting rid of internal combustion engines and then later we can deal with better batteries.

Stabilize, and keep breathing folks.

The full Rep. Chip Roy quote, which for some reason Our Failed Political Press ™ is not including this first part which gives context to the second part:

“When are we going to do what we said we would do? When are we going to stand athwart and stop the reckless spending?” Roy said Wednesday, his voice rising as he jabbed his finger in the air.

Has anyone tried unplugging the Republicans and then plugging them in again?

Actually maybe just unplugging would be better.

I don’t think it is going too far to say a religious extremist, or even a bigot. He’s way outside even the extreme range.

And the Republicans are cool with that.

If there is one thing we can all take-away from the it is that this was a way bigger conspiracy than we thought, and the only reason we are not living under a dictatorship right now is that ’s Inner Circle are incompetent buffoons.

The next Republicans that try it might not be idiots.

Keep an eye on those in Congress who followed the plan; they will try something again.

Keep an eye on the apologists in the media and the billionaires who financed this. They are regrouping.

Guys, @GottaLaff wrote a really comprehensive explainer of what it takes to move to Canada.

Don’t ask her questions, unless you read it first. I bet she answers your questions in the post —it is THAT detailed!

Thanks, Laffy!

Just as many of us learned during Dubya's (mis)administration, what he said (and did) did NOT reflect the entirety of the country. We are not a monolith.

Supporting the people of is not the same thing as supporting the government of Israel. They are not a monolith.

Yes, of course. Responding to criticism should be the most primary duty of the only major non-fascist party in this race. One about to lose the Senate, and possibly the presidency. Along with our democracy. Thanks for your clarity on this.

It’s weird how people forget that Hillary actually won the popular vote in 2016.
