Trump won. You don't have to do this anymore.

Young Republicans

We are appalled by the vile and inexcusable language revealed in the Politico article published today. Such behavior is disgraceful, unbecoming of any Republican, and stands in direct opposition to the values our movement...

one of the reasons they're so mad at "no kings" is that they thought they were going to get a different kind of protest. they *want* the black bloc to be out there fighting with the cops. those are the images they've been trying to generate from "go." instead--

MAGA Rage at “No Kings” Boils Over—and It Quickly Backfires on Trump

As Trump allies smear the coming protests, a good writer on MAGA skewers the absurdity of these attacks on large swaths of Americans—and explains why our best recourse will be to turn out in force.

Well it’s one thing to kidnap people off the street solely based on the color of their skin; it’s entirely another to insult George’s ratings.

I hate profiles of conservatives who are worried that their country is changing and would welcome profiles of liberals and leftists who are afraid of same thing from the opposite direction and treated their concerns the same kind of reflexive deference

Every once in a while I remember Trump changed vice presidents because he sent a violent mob to take care of his previous one and that’s not a thing anyone even talks about.

I'm sitting here thinking about having a 15 daughter being chased down and abducted by masked men while the local police watch and let them carry her away to god-knows where w/zero accountability

we have to understand that girls are in severe danger of sexual violence from anonymous ICE goons

One great aspect of iconic inflatable costumes (aside from how they instantly undermine propaganda about war zones) is that it's useless to arrest the person wearing one. Cuffing a frog would make law enforcement look pathetic. And carting one off just guarantees that more will show up the next day.

I do think it would be amazing if hundreds of protesters just showed up dressed like ICE. They’d be absolutely baffled, they’d have no way to tell who’s who. They’re all dressed in off-the-rack Cabelas clothes since they don’t seem to have a standard uniform so it’s easy.

They were so angry their own children rejected their bigotry and fled, but nothing will hollow out small town America like this. 🤷🏻‍♀️

farmers are probably generationally fucked. medicaid recipients are fucked barring some fix in the next budget round. rural health care systems are toast. employment is looking *very* wobbly.
