Those are my exact feelings about the current 47 regime:

It's dirty.

You have criminals.

It's an insane asylum.

It's a work ground for the criminal element of the GOP to prey upon the good people.

Here's Portland Police Chaplain Clyde Lewis on a flyer for the far-right Christian Nationalist and anti-LGBTQ+ rights group "Don't Mess With Our Kids." Their goal is to criminalize LGBTQ+ people, do conversion therapy on them, ban same-sex marriage, ban abortion, and install the theocracy.

Just got fired from being a freshman football coach, if you want to know what MAGA does to communities.

They don’t care about what helps people, because the school is certainly not going to find an ex-NFL player willing to coach there at that level, they only care about trying to hurt people.

Today is a really good day to do something. Read the Constitution. Have a talk with a stranger about DOGE. Volunteer at a food bank. Be kind to people. Whatever you do, don’t just throw your hands up in the air & assume Trump gets away with it all. We are still a rule of law country. Insist on it.

New, from me: Tulsi Gabbard purged trans intelligence officers after a Chris Rufo smear campaign.
They were targeted because they were trans, their words were mischaracterized, and they were offered no due process.
