We wake today still shaken, scared, enraged.
The August 8 shooting at CDC did not happen in a vacuum--it grew from years of attacks on public health by people like RFK Jr. and Russell Vought, who are 'putting us in trauma' ...just like they promised.

Faced with a high profile budget battle, elected Democrats will be like "why bother with this fight, our vote doesn't matter, it won't change the outcome" and then wonder why ordinary citizens sit out an election and think "why bother with this, my vote doesn't matter, it won't change the outcome"

I for one think it was cool and good that nothing was done in the last four years of Democratic control to rein in the Supreme Court, I'm glad the norm respecters won out and we're all living in a rich norm-filled paradise today.

These people could not wait for widespread ethnic cleansing, because they told themselves it would be an easy, bloodless event.
Also, to own the libs. And now that they see what it means, they, continuing to be childish, are trying to escape culpability for what they eagerly cheered on.

Drafted about 3 different posts about this but I honestly don't know what to say anymore. This death cult has been openly cheering the death of poor and uninsured Americans since the 2012 Republican presidential primary debates. So tired of this.

When the crowd said people will die due to Medicaid and SNAP cuts, she said: "well we all are going to die." 🫠🫠🫠🫠

The reason you're having trouble concentrating if you are here in the US is because we're basically being chased around by serial killers and being asked to disregard the fact.

"Just go back" was attempted under Joe Biden. That approach failed spectacularly at a strategic level even if the administration did a lot of good over those 4 years.

fundamentally, "just go back" is never an adequate response to this kind of constitutional crisis. it just doesn't work. and that's why, among other things, any project of American Reconstruction *must* involve the revitalization of Congress as an active force

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.
