An amazing tidbit in @punchbowlnews.bsky.social today tells us everything we need to know about the Republican Party.

(And Mitch McConnell, of course, but in his case we already knew it.)

I encourage everyone to write/call their senators and reps to demand they do more to stop these "ICE" kidnappings. Below is my message to my rep. Feel free to cut/paste!

Dear @padilla.senate.gov, I’m a constituent. I’m urging you to please vote NO on SAVE Act. It will disenfranchise millions of American citizens. We are fighting for our very lives now – our jobs, our healthcare, our freedoms. #DemsGrowASpine #CallYourSenator #PGAS app.sosha.ai/s/5yCEyxKd

This whole post: 💯
The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame.

The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight.

It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

Earnest sociological question - I'm wondering what threshold neds to be reached for corporate media to begin using the words "fascism" "authoritarianism" or "oligarchy" in reference to our current situation?
EXCLUSIVE: Candidates for national security roles in the new administration have been posed loyalty questions, such as: Was Jan. 6 an inside job, and Was the 2020 presidential election stolen? They were asked to give straight "yes" or "no" answers. Here's our story.

It's images like these that break my heart.💔 Pointless, cruel, irresponsible and utterly devoid of humanity. So much for American exceptionalism.

2.) USAID offices where art from global missions was removed because "America First"

Signed a petition today. As we face egg & poultry shortages due to bird flu, Florida & Alabama criminalized cultivated meat to protect special interests, defying free market principles & limiting consumer autonomy for a product food safety experts at USDA & FDA have deemed safe.
