Democratic voters are working hard to stop fascism. It would be nice if the leaders of the party joined them.

The president is falling asleep durring a White House cabinet meeting with each member praising him for his resilience. What are we doing America? This is so embarrassing.

Or him calling people “piggy”. “Garbage”

Still shocking that we are accepting this is the langauge by a president of the US.

A President.

Speaking of “piggy”, “garbage,” “pussy”. Like that. On a daily basis.
here's Trump's full racist rant about MN's Somali community: "Somalians ripped off that state for billions. And they contribute nothing... Ilhan Omar is garbage. She's garbage. Her friends are garbage. These aren't people that work... They come from hell & do nothing but bitch. We don't want them"

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

RFK Jr: "Two weeks ago we ended, under your leadership, a twenty year war on women".

Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

I’ll never understand how this cruelty and the general crass has become mainstream and accepted. It’s really not about different political views
Read these words. This is your country doing this:

“Pregnant & postpartum women report starving in ICE custody, freezing cells, invasive procedures, miscarriages, their pleas for help going unanswered.”

Thank you @rfkhumanrights.bsky.social @the-independent.com for shining a light on these horrors
(1/4) ICE detention has become a black box. Oversight has been gutted. Families are being separated. Pregnant and postpartum women report starving in custody, freezing cells, invasive procedures, miscarriages, and their pleas for help going unanswered.

Someone said patriarchy is putting the sexual satisfaction of men in higher priority than the survival of women and children and I can't unsee it

And the humanities
Imagine if they just subsidized newspapers and magazines the way they’re subsidizing this slop
"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."

Just imagine if this were a Dem President. At some point it was decided that GOP can do what they want, because “they’re the crazy right wing,” abd standards apply only to the DEM
The president of the United States is insane. Full stop.
