"She helped to pass a fascist bill, which is 100% part of liberalism" is what he should have said, if he was being honest. Then he could explain how liberalism holds the door open for fascism, if he was being honest.

This is why I don’t trust the "Never Trump" Bulwark guys. They’re perfectly comfortable with real people being harmed, so long as the harm comes via a process they can label “liberal democracy.”

Among other things there is going to be a generation of children that is traumatized by various forms of gender inspections including genital inspections and anti-trans parents and the parents who chose to look the other way will bear responsibility for it

This is a public health crisis and cis people acting like it isn’t because it targets trans children primarily (even though it will affect cis children too!!) is nasty business
RFK Jr. announces new rules targeting care for transgender youth
If approved, the proposed federal regulations would dramatically impact an already challenging landscape.

My insurance company just sent me a letter saying they will stop covering two of my prescriptions because they are ‘not medically necessary’. Which ones?
1. My testosterone, because I am not a man
2. My menopause meds for hot flashes because, after all, women should just deal with it.

Anyone who thinks the trans panic is about protecting women hasn't been paying attention.

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later
Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

I think a lot about the scene the media made about the Saddam Hussein statue being toppled
For anyone outside the US to have even an ounce of faith in Americans to turn the page on doing politics the way Trump does politics, leaders will have to ritualistically perform expulsion of all vestiges

"Trump will live forever, but only as a cautionary tale, one we tell successive generations to demonstrate that sustaining a democracy against the corrupt and the malevolent requires vigilance and determination." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social
Why every vestige of Trump must be torn down
He's trying to create a physical legacy. The moment he's out of power, it has to be smashed to bits.

Bibi looking at him like "yeah I know about bombing civilians and not giving a shit about it too"
Reporter: Can you say anything more about the explosion in Venezuela that you mentioned in radio interview? Did the military do that?
Trump: Well, it doesn't matter. But there was a major explosion in the dock area where they load the boats up with drugs.

Marjorie Taylor Greene told The New York Times that Trump called and yelled at her, telling her “My friends will get hurt," shortly after she held a press conference and threatened to identify some of the men who abused Epstein victims.

I also think for people who conflate the two, expressing racism without blowback is one of the perks of whiteness. So they think an apology for an action or expression is the same as apologizing for “being white.” cf: the ongoing whinging about the n-word.
