living through the previously-absurd scenario of an out-of-control president looting the nation, ignoring the law, inciting violence, pardoning criminals, working with our enemies, but instead of some titanic political struggle most of society is just trying really hard to avoid mentioning it

The sound of love, children are amazing!

Our current regime is evil. The republicans don’t give a shit about children, they’re collateral damage.
Just look at how they’ve handled the Epstein debacle, he was a predator of children and yet the republicans covered up for him.

Repugnant!

What is their end game?
Do they have plans for a new and better future? No!
Is there some genius at work reshaping our government for a better future? No!
All they do is destroy things. Just like healthcare, destroy & replace with “let the people negotiate with the insurance company’s”.
Ya right!

“Federal prosecutors dismiss charges against Marimar Martinez, shot by a Border Patrol agent multiple times after allegedly using her car to assault federal law enforcement in Chicago…”

So THEY rammed HER, shot her, and bragged about “5 shots, 7 holes”

DeSantis's role in this:

Shortened statute of limitations to 2 yrs!!! - many perpetrators could not be prosecuted

1/ It should be forgiven. It should be forgotten. If she spoke of it again, the sins would be hers, she was told.

But she could never forget. And neither could the other girls.

This is the story of how her church enabled a child abuser for years 👇

Behind this important reversal is a member of the Coast Guard who saw what was happening and had the courage to leak it to the press. That person deserves serious praise.

The late Vice President Dick Cheney said it, and boy was he right: “In our nation’s 248-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump.”

So proud of my Representative Maggie Goodlander. It took a tremendous love of our country for her to put herself on the front line.
Trump has threatened her, he’s a wannabe dictator who so fucking immature it’s scary.
He is a malignant narcissist!

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.
