I don't think enough people appreciate how much Republicans *hate* the United States as it exists today. They despise the idea of a culturally diverse, socially tolerant nation.

Excellent read. The only thing I would add is the embedding of DOGE and how it's deconstructing our government from the inside out and reconstructing it as a techno/kleptocratic, wholly dependent on Musk, using AI to eventually make decisions about every aspect of our lives.
The past decade has seen grave threats and unmistakable decline. But the past few days and weeks reveal that we have entered in a new and more perilous chapter here in the U.S. It must be a call to a new kind of action. My latest. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...
We Have Descended into Utter Madness
A new sense of urgency is needed. Our national crisis has grown much more acute.

After 9/11, the U.S. built a huge surveillance infrastructure for counterterrorism. It was abused to target Muslim Americans, but the broad authorities were also used to go after protestors. Immigration enforcement is the new counterterrorism: www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

The Trump administration is being open about its plans to violate Americans’ First and Fourth Amendment rights.

97.5% of the people Trump arrested in Chicago had no criminal record

100% of the people Trump pardoned for Jan 6 had criminal records

The difference is the former are mostly Latino & the latter are mostly white. This is systemic white supremacy in 2025. If you still don’t see it, you’re complicit

I hope you all are starting to arm yourself with CPB’s greatest fear: Whistles

Someone sees CPB, the blow their whistle, vulnerable people know to hide. I hope that takes off around Charlotte like it did around Chicago.

OR, "People who read the memo said it asserts that orgs believed to be Anti-MAGA are lawful military targets because their goals would generate revenue that Dems could use to persuade voters to wage the purported armed conflict or sandwich throwing against MAGA."

The entire scene looks like Norman Rockwell painted The Death of Empathy, directed by Jeffrey Dahmer and executive produced by Satan. Hang this next to The Scream and the painting would lean over and whisper, Is that guy okay.

If this is the new Republican healthcare plan -- I'd be dead by now. Insurance companies will no longer be forced to cover preexisting conditions. Or diagnostic screening. WTF. They really do consider us all parasites, and grift destabilizers.
Trump: "I am recommending to Senate Republicans that the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars currently being sent to money sucking Insurance Companies in order to save the bad Healthcare provided by ObamaCare, BE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE SO THAT THEY CAN PURCHASE THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE."

How about working with the Dems to get the 60 votes you need? C'mon, GOP-- governing is not that hard once you get the hang of it.
GOP SEN. JOHN KENNEDY: It may be 2026 when we'll come out of the shutdown.

REPORTERS: 😳

KENNEDY: I'm not kidding, you guys. I mean, you see what I see. Okay? This shutdown is going to last a long time. What's going to get us out of it?

"Republicans could end this right now. They are choosing to make this shutdown an issue where they pit the sick against the hungry. The reality is, this is a false choice. Prior to this moment, we've been able to afford both the ACA subsidies and SNAP benefits."

Lots more detail in here about this outrageous arrest. The guy has been in jail for weeks now for posting a quote by President Trump.
In the wake of Charlie Kirk's death, a TN sheriff had a 61-yr-old man arrested for posting a meme on Facebook, which the sheriff absurdly construed as a threat. It was pretty clearly bullshit but I dug into the case using FB & public records and now it looks even worse. My latest @theintercept.com:
The Absurd Prosecution of a Man Who Posted a Charlie Kirk Meme
Larry Bushart Jr. posted trolling memes on a Facebook thread about a vigil for Kirk. He’s been in a Tennessee jail ever since.

So you should really watch this. Just 2 minutes. But a window into the truly radical nature of the people Trump is nominating.

When pressed today, the nominee to be Ambassador to South Africa refuses to oppose reinstituting laws to prevent black people from voting in America.

There is ZERO reason for NOT just blocking this administration's trolls. These are OUR tax dollars they're using to try and bait normal people and to spread their propaganda. We should all consider depriving them of the oxygen, audience, and rage baiting on which they apparently thrive.

Retired Army Sgt. Brian Wofford spoke to me this morning at the Oklahoma City #NoKings protest. Didn’t expect him to be carrying his DD214 so I asked some warmup questions like when he got out and whether his injury was service-related.

He paused while describing the car bomb in Iraq to say this:

i imagine there’s about to be an influx of MAGA chuds spewing their bullshit but i really can’t stress enough that if we don’t give them oxygen, they’ll get bored and leave. block early and often.
i know the desire to fight with these sick freaks is strong but resist the urge and just block. it’s better for your brain.
