The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

It's always hard to pick a worst day politically, but today the president called for the death of members of the opposition party, and the administration decided that people were being too hard on the swastika

MAGA has perpetrated genuine evil on normal human people just trying to survive. Fully 97% of folks sent to CECOT for torture and rape had never been convicted of a violent crime. MAGA wanted to look tough, and erred on the side of evil, IN OUR NAME. Horrific.

If Trump tried 1/10 as hard to negotiate with Dems as he is trying to starve poor Americans, the government would be open right now.
If you’re trying to catch up on what went down with #SNAP late last night at #SCOTUS, here’s my attempt to read the breadcrumbs on the “administrative stay” issued by Justice Jackson—and why a justice so critical of the Court’s grants of emergency relief to Trump still granted temporary relief here:
190. SNAP WTF?

They want a new American Gilded Dark Age. That’s what Project 2025 is. Bastards and Billionaires and Blowhards.
The United States was the leading destination for top scientists from all over the world.
That is ending. Politicians ended it. It will cripple our future competitiveness.
And it’s such a bitter tragedy. Almost no Americans, Conservative or Liberal, grasp what is now being stolen from them.

Sen. Van Hollen: Donald Trump and Russell Vought are now threatening to end the food and nutrition benefits – this is the SNAP benefits – in just a few days, which will make 42M Americans including 16M kids hungry. The thing that every American needs to understand is they are doing this deliberately

The corruption is breathtaking and undeniable.
The White House is a 24/7 pay-to-play enterprise.
The latest? Trump is pardoning Changpeng Zhao, who built a company that allowed terrorists and sex predators to launder money.
Why? Because Zhao made a huge investment in Trump's corrupt crypto business.

We have the money to fund SNAP. Trump is choosing not to spend it because he doesn’t care about underprivileged people including hungry children. He cares more about bailing out Argentina, giving tax cuts to billionaire buddies, and building a ballroom. There is plenty of money, just not for us.
There’s $5 billion sitting in SNAP reserves right now. The money’s there.
The Administration just decided feeding families matters less than bailing out Argentina.

One day (soon, if we have a say about it in 2026), there will be real oversight again. We're filing this away for the day that happens, so it can be properly investigated.

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.
