The damage that is being done will not be reverted through the pendulum swing of simple party politics.
They have destroyed the administrative state.
They have created a secret police. With camps.
They have placed apparatchiks in lifetime positions.

Evangelicals and 95% of Christians wouldn’t vote for Jesus Christ himself if he ran as a Democrat. Stop telling me that Roy Cooper had to say he prayed to God about our government to get their votes. Your excuse is as blind as your faith.

For the 1st time in its 116-year history, the NAACP won’t invite a sitting U.S. president to its national convention. NAACP President Derrick Johnson called it “a waste of time to give a platform to fascism.”
Well done! Every organization should follow suit. FDT

An excellent distillation of how this works. I have always stated that tolerance is paramount, but I'm not obligated to tolerate the intolerance of others.

The Senate is currently debating over Trump’s Tax Scam before moving to vote-a-rama and a final vote.
We need GOP senators’ phones to be ringing off the hooks: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

I want you to understand this is happening in our name and we know most of these men committed no crimes. One is a professional soccer player who was tortured in Venezuela and was working through asylum in the U.S. ICE shipped him for his Real Madrid tattoo and a picture throwing rock & roll horns.

By voting for the CR, Rep Jared Golden just gave the GOP a talking point of “bipartisan bill” and he also just voted to give up all leverage in pushing back against the administration. The spending power is congress’ only power. While i usually applaud bipartisanship, this is a travesty

Social Security payments could suffer interruption soon as DOGE triggers 'system collapse,' former commissioner warns — 'start saving now'
"Ultimately, you’re going to see the system collapse and an interruption of benefits. I believe you will see that within the next 30 to 90 days."

With very few exceptions, people who voted for Trump in November (many for the third time) who do begin to come around enough to move them to action, will not have had their humanity awakened by seeing how much damage he is doing to so many people.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.
It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.
They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.
I’m happy to invest and/or help

This is such a natural expression. We've all known it for a while. I mean, it applies to almost all of the orange guy's supplicants and sycophants, but/and Rubio is the one this term was made for.
As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.
