Apparently Sweden doesn’t go for “thoughts and prayers” - they prefer to change their laws and actually, truly protect their people from this ever happening again. It is horrible that they have to go through this even once. No one should have to.

We need to be ready, not one step behind.
- People watching each Department/Agency building, ready to alert others if/when the "DOGE" lackeys show up there

The plan, imo, fellow Americans, is simple:
The orange turd runs the country into the ground, like all his other failures; he and his rich friends then swoop in using $$, the law, and violence (para-military, etc.) to take what they want at bargain basement prices, and make the rest of us serfs.

In light of Biden pardoning his son after previously saying he wouldn’t, and how so many are screaming and pearl-clutching about it, yet they said pretty little or nothing when Trump lied about things like Project 2025, this aphorism comes to mind:

“One is punished most for one’s virtues.”

One extra good thing to come out of Gaetz resigning from his DOJ bid - he’s no longer in Congress, either.
