"A steely determination to win or die..."

This is US, the NEW Democratic party, a radicalized party that's breaking from the fat, old, complacent party that chickened out on Sunday, kneeling before the bloated orange wannabe emperor.

This is a remarkably hopeful article by my favorite historical professor! Lots of parallels to the current moment, and we know that we beat back the fascists then, right?

Keep our collective chins up. It's going to be difficult and long, BUT WE WILL PREVAIL.

WE WILL GET OUR COUNTRY BACK. 💪🏿💪🏽💪🏻!

Is it any wonder people are exhausted and overwhelmed?

We have to take care of ourselves so we can all keep going. This is a long-term engagement. We may still be fighting for another couple of years.

I don't know about all of you, but analyzing this horrifying shit leaves me feeling perpetually filthy. I can't even imagine how those folks at the FBI felt, going through all those docs surrounding the Epstein files... 🤮

"America's shadow made flesh..."

He's disgusting and WILL be removed, by his own natural death or via the 25th Amendment (brought by his own party when he simply can't function anymore).

WHEN that happens, the party that's ALREADY tearing itself apart, will disintegrate with power struggles.

"[this] DOJ... sent Abbott a sternly worded letter expressing “serious concerns” about the legality of several districts. But did they sue? Of course not. Because in Trump’s America, illegality is not the issue. DISOBEDIENCE IS."

This article details why I wasn't as outraged by the Dems caving (although they should all be brought up on charges for WHY!).

"In 2026, Democrats can... point out that Republicans refused to help their health care costs go down by extending Obamacare subsidies."

My hope is that finally, FINALLY, the Republikkkans' threshold for AWFULNESS will be breached, and will force him out.

IF it happens, the MAGA and KKKRISTIAN Nationalist movements will separate and fracture, and the Republikkkan party will self-destruct under the weight of the power-hungry fools.

"[Trump] said he wants to open up the coast of California, but he doesn’t want oil-drilling rigs off the coast of Florida, not across the street from Mar-a-Lago. He’s silent on that. But it’s not going to happen. It’s dead on arrival.”

The current crop of Representatives and Senators are FAILING TO REPRESENT US!

So we WILL have a new system, bc this one WILL LOSE. It'll lose our cause, and then it'll lose US.

Those few elected officials who are listening and responsive will survive the coming purge.

The rest? OUT!!

If they're owned by a Republikkkan, they can easily be manipulated be Republikkkans.
November 11, 2025 at 2:02 AM
This is potentially ok news: we MIGHT be able to pressure the Senate enough, IF we press the 8 Dems who voted with the Republikkkans HARD.

PLEASE keep calling and leaving messages, find the numbers in my pinned post!

As many times as you can, as many Republikkkan as you can, and the 8 Dems!
