I remember how it all started with Trump’s racist lies about Obama’s birth certificate:

Christopher Webb @cwebbonline.com · 1d

Trump didn’t light the fire overnight. He’s been turning up the heat slowly, hoping we won’t notice until we’re already cooked.

This is today’s GOP going along with the endless spiral into the abyss that is Trump/MAGA/Nazi leadership:

Carl Quintanilla @carlquintanilla.bsky.social · 1d

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

Remove the oligarchy from power and the GOP turns into various warring factions minus the Never-Trumpers who were patriots all along and might well form the basis of a rational party to replace the current corrupt, traitorous, and deranged GOP.

Woltergeist II: The Other Side @wolter.bsky.social · 22h

Saw this argument: “you think if the Republican Party disappeared the conservative voters would too?” talk about getting mad at an argument you’ve made up. No. I think they’d be in disarray and have no centralized power base to cling to and would break up into splinter parties for a while.

Every time there was a foreign visitor of note to the WH, I knew that the Bidens would treat him with the utmost respect and courtesy. When a foreign visitor arrives today, it's anybody's guess what will happen. Disgraceful.

He was the BEST POLICY PRESIDENT OF MY LIFETIME.

Roseymelhill💙💙 @roseymelhill.bsky.social · 1d

I miss him every day of what we are dealing with now. Was he the best? No. Did he make mistakes? Yes. But he was so much better than what we have today. Can’t even compare the two.

MAGA are either deranged psychopaths or they are entirely brainwashed:

Greg Morosoff @gregmorosoff.bsky.social · 12h

From @xplosiveamnesia.bsky.social

If you haven't realized that MAGA are all dangerous psychopaths who lack any kind of empathy or rationality, you haven't been listening.

Fight back like it matters; because otherwise, you go down too.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 19h

Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

Trump is trying to turn US cities into Gaza.

I will not celebrate the warmongers Trump and Netanyahu half-heartedly completing the Peace Deal that Biden authored.

One that they will likely soon sabotage.

The GOP has no shame and it has no morals. It only has a fear of consequences.

Jeff Sharlet @jeffsharlet.bsky.social · 17h

Every time something like the GOP chat leak occurs I hear smart people arguing that shame could be a useful tactic. But shame only works if the bad actors think their actions are bad. Hypocrisy, shame, these Victorian-ish norms are just that, norms, guardrails, and they don't work against fascism.

As a Supreme Court gets ready to strip the rest of the protections in the Voting Rights Act… California needs to set the tone for the resistance.
YES on prop 50.
