Yep that’s the only explanation as to why the transition to open fascism was so seamless. We had tirelessly & uncritically built a domestic army that had already spent decades providing us with empirical violent evidence that they hate us so all they needed to do was install the right leader.

If someone tells you there's nothing we can do about gun violence beyond thoughts and prayers, remind them:
—Gun laws in other countries have prevented mass shootings
—More guns don't make us safer
—A majority of Americans want gun reform
We don't have to live like this.

I’m not upset if someone on SNAP wants to buy chips.
There are very wealthy people in this country who profit off Americans who have cancer.
That does upset me.

“Flood survivors…described losing children, going days without contact from emergency management and discovering human remains still scattered in waterways even after victims…were officially marked as found.”
And the TX GOP is focused on gerrymandering.

“No one who works full time should be in poverty.”
It’s so simple when explained this way. Why does the richest country in the history of the earth have poverty?
We underpay wages to full-time workers and then have no price controls on rent, healthcare and child care- the bare essentials.

Today marks 16 years since the federal minimum wage was last raised.
Guess how much the wage would be today if it kept up with worker productivity over the years?

Hard to articulate this argument sometimes through my own anger at the TX gerontocracy-
But this is as clear as day
They won’t protect the children or families of Texas, only their own political party as it melts down around us.

"At EVERY SINGLE LEVEL, Republican governance failed. Across the board, these were Conservative political decisions that cost 135 people their lives.
It was Republicans who ignored every alarm
It was Republicans who vetoed every grant
It was Republicans who silenced every siren"

LBJ Called It a “Miracle.” Trump’s GOP Just Voted to Kill It.
Congress is gutting the last free information source for many rural Americans. The reason why is ridiculous.
