Karon Hylton-Brown was a black american. he is just signing whatever pardons the white supremacists in his cabinet place in front of him.

Whatever incremental progress this country has gained in the past 60 years has been destroyed within the past 3 days.

The eat-the-rich energy in the US is at the highest it's been in a century. This is our dog-whistle. Words 'billionaire' and 'rich' - they should make your stomach turn. It's time to dehumanize The Broligarchy and shun them from society like they do to countless groups they've disenfranchised.

But they're the job makers! Fuck that. Listen to Trump talk about what a 'career' is and what a 'job' is - careers are for rich white people. "Black jobs." He consistently uses the phrase "black jobs". I can't think of a single time he used the phrase "black careers".

If you don't want to take part, working a 'job' with no future, you are worthless and should be shunned by society at large. If you don't want to take part, and you aren't white, you get God's love.

There are more of us than there are of them. Maga are class-traitors as well as racists. We are neither.

With regard to Karon Hylton-Brown specifically: Trump is using these pardons as political sleight-of-hand. When a question comes up about pardoning violent Jan 6ers, he responds by evading the question. He responds by saying he's the best President ever for cops, and then he sites these pardons. Race-war level shit.

Under the umbrella of 'being oppressed by the rich', most people have reason to openly loathe them. Maga class-traitors will eventually, a little at a time, realize they voted on the wrong side of history. My hope is that the watershed moment is the 2026 midterms...

Racist class traitors control all three branches of govt. Outside of a revolution we are done for, and I doubt that democrats or liberals reading Pitchfork will be carrying pitchforks when the time comes.

Well this is just fucking stupid.

Having a majority is meaningless without the threat of violence, and some of you are very much against using violence even in self-defense.

If laws aren’t going to stop them (and those laws are weaponized against us), then I hate to break it to people that refuse to want to accept this, YOU HAVE TO FIGHT BACK

Amen.

Since nobody else has corrected you yet, there is no such thing as Asperger's Syndrome. It is an obsolete term once used for high-functioning autistic people, and it is named after a Nazi doctor who sent handicapped children to be exterminated. Asperger's and autism are not valid topics for the discussion of the political ideologies of oligarchs. Autistic children are going to suffer enough because of how these assholes will undermine our health care system.

Having a majority, in a representative government, without actual representation, is meaningless. If the DNC wants to win on any level, they must directly oppose corporations on behalf of workers and retired people. That's going to take time, even if all Democrat lawmaker were on board, which we all know they aren't. They either need to represent us, or lose their jobs. Many need to lose their job anyway, for breaking the public trust.

I'm not against revolution. I'm against violence. I assure you that this administration will use violence, against protesters, subject to the whim of fucking Pete Hegseth. Protesting needs to look like harmless fun. No property damage, no violence, just a day off in the streets with as few clothes on as possible. A party in the streets supporting local small business in the process. Flash labor protests. Complete shutdowns of key industries. Ground-up support for front-line workers in Grocery, Health, Trucking and like industries.

The chud in the wild responds to optics. Even Trump knows murdering people as they celebrate is "a bad look". ...and honestly, we all could use more days off here and there.

I would like violence to define them, not us. We are good people, and it's about time for good people to feel comfortable loathing their captors.

I’m sure I’m way behind here, but “broligarchy” to describe the unholy alliance of tech billionaires is pretty funny.

Apparently first coined in 2010 by Jonathan Franzen in his book Freedom.

Hegseth confirmed.

Thank you for cleaning this up. It caught my brain (my wife and I both work with kids with ASD) but I was too lazy and distracted to address it.
