ProPublica is the journalism we need, in a time when we really need it most

Eta:

Three investigators for the Heritage Foundation have deluged federal agencies with thousands of Freedom of Information Act requests over the past year, requesting a wide range of information on government employees, including communications that could be seen as a political liability by conservatives. Among the documents they’ve sought are lists of agency personnel and messages sent by individual government workers that mention, among other things, “climate equity,” “voting” or “SOGIE,” an acronym for sexual orientation, gender identity and expression.

The Heritage team filed these requests even as the think tank’s Project 2025 was promoting a controversial plan to remove job protections for tens of thousands of career civil servants so they could be identified and fired if Donald Trump wins the presidential election.

I appreciate the irony of a so-named “news” corp keeping the terms of the settlement secret

More post-birth abortions. Who’s the villain performing these, again?

Then-Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens ® paused Williams’s execution in 2017 and charged a board with collecting evidence about whether he was innocent. Current Gov. Mike Parson ®, who succeeded Greitens, later disbanded the board and last year began a push to set an execution date.

The cruelty is the point

This murder will be an actual example of a post-term abortion that the right has been pretending to be scared of, ironically enough

Oh man wait till you learn about Hawaii and how it’s autonomy and indigenous people’s rights were smashed to pieces when we made them a state

Imagine the logistics of this “immediate” operation, too. By his own estimation, it’s like 20 million people. These folks are to be, first and foremost, “IMMEDIATELY REMOVED FROM AMERICAN CITIES AND TOWNS” and once that is done they would presumably be somehow sent off whence they came or whatever. But that first part is a real sticky thing. How are you going to immediately remove 20 million people from the cities and towns they are in? Where will you be taking them? Are you envisioning some sort of camp, or something similar, where you could sort of round them all up, or concentrate them, so to speak? Perhaps several of these camps will be needed, I suppose, just logistically. But how will he propose getting them there? Our trains have been derailing and shit, we need money to fix them first, don’t we? Maybe that’s not an issue for him, who knows.

There is an ugliness built into his lexicon that reeks of holocaustic intent and it’s been slipping out more frequently it feels like.

His own words and actions do it pretty well

Yup! It’s like he’s envisioning the prelude to the Holocaust and wanting to bring it into the modern day. This is from earlier today on his dumpster fire of a site:

Mmm that’s a real neat idea but you see if we could somehow get more guns into society, we might finally hit the critical mass where the t’s and p’s become irrelevant because of all the freedom, you see

“Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans”

And unbeknownst to me until I went to check to see if I was right about the origination (I wasn’t), “Life is what happens to us while we are making other plans”

Because they are, for some baffling reason, deciding proactively to ruin the peanut butter after having blended it into smooth, creamy perfection! Then they have the gall to place it right next to the good stuff, likely with intent to fool unwitting passersby into bringing it home with further hopes that the children who have never tasted smooth peanut butter and fall victim to experiencing the crunchy version as their initial exposure will be hooked on the worse version for the rest of their lives.

If that’s not malice, I don’t know what is.

(Really heavy /s, just in case)

So it’s not laziness, it’s maliciousness?

How do they work?

Truly one of the latter day saints

Turns out “playing 4D chess” is just MAGA politikese for “broadcasting our corruption loudly and assuming enough people are also either too corrupt, ignorant, or disaffected to do anything about it.”

I truly wasn’t trying to disparage the source, it was just phrasing that jumped out at me as being a little off

At least one woman and several people…

I clicked the article to double check and sure enough, it’s still there. I’m sure it’s meant to enhance the perceived seriousness of the attack (“won’t someone think of the women and children? Look! They hurt one!”), but it reads more like “one non-person, not understood to be pregnant at this time, and several actual human beings…”
