“The rights of every person are diminished when the rights of one person are threatened.”
― John F. Kennedy
Q: What does it say about American society that we elected a RAPIST to be our President?
That it'll fail because they lack sufficient consolidation and centralized control does not make it trivial that the president of the United States is trying to steal elections and produce an illegitimate sham Congress. It is open rebellion against the Constitution and morally tantamount to treason.
Bernie Sanders: "If you believe as I do that Donald Trump is the most dangerous president in the history of the United States, we need to get rid of that rubber stamp Republican leadership in the House and Senate."
Trump ran for president to give himself immunity from his many crimes, increase his net worth exponentially by obscenely profiting off the presidency, and ensure that he could get away with cheating on his taxes in the past, present and future. Oh, and to build a ballroom.

WOMAN REPORTER: Do sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir?

REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sex abuse allegations
TRUMP: Quiet! Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?
HOORAY for this reporter !!!

FINALLY, a journalist the WH press corps standing firm and asking tough questions of the Rapist.

All these so-called “independent” Republicans will go right back to voting for Johnson as speaker, confirm every Trump nominee, vote with Trump on everything, and continue doing zero oversight on his corrupt regime. A vote for any one of them is a vote to continue all of that.
A reminder that when we’re told real estate dudes are “working for free” as US negotiators — aka not official US employees accountable to the USG — they’re working for someone else, and not in US interests

When you see all these corrupt, ridiculously unqualified and incompetent Trump officials in action, realize that it is only possible because Republicans have the majority in the senate and voted to confirm them. The only way to stop it is to take that majority away.

…and, over the holidays, for the family, a paraplegic being riddled with bullets from a firing squad.
So, do I have this straight….?
Our Christo Naty SecDef believes drag shows are deviant and wholly inappropriate for children, yet watching a paraplegic executed live, by firing squad, is not?
What has happened to this nation?
Sadly, this ⬇️ was clearly evident and foreseeable in a vote for the Rapist + Republican Party governance in Nov 2024 !!!
So 77+M Americans should not be complaining. This voted for it.
Fools.
The MAGA regime recently killed the largest ancient 250 year old “Grandmother” Cottonwood tree in Arizona’s indigenous territory just to expand the orange felon’s fucking wall.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good.
I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.
it didn't even occur to me that the government might try to execute someone a second time if they torture the person but fail to kill them during a first botched attempt. truly grotesque and a moral stain upon all involved.
"Those in attendance...received a book called “The War Department Field Manual,” a compilation of Hegseth’s past speeches. In a forward written by President Trump, the troops were told: “As your commander in chief, I will not ask you to fight dumb wars.”

"Why should Canadians trust Americans who have twice elected someone they consider a venal, dangerous buffoon? They could excuse them for being 'tricked' the first time. But electing him again, by a bigger margin the second time, tells them all they need to know." — @brynntannehill.bsky.social
