The core motivation of MAGA fascists is white supremacy, and their core political goal is to undo the civil rights movement, racially-diverse immigration, and all social progress since the 1950s. Any Dem reps who can't reckon with what MAGA/the GOP is today need to leave office ASAP.

If SCOTUS overturns a key provision in the Voting Rights Act, it could cement Republican control of the House for decades.

Plausible outcome of overturning the VRA.

In his autobiography, Frederick Douglass noted that the cruelest slave masters were frequently the most religious. They found in their brand of Christianity a shield to justify their cruelty. Those in the Trump administration today who use religion in a similar way are their spiritual successors.

My Janet Mills spam text came in as I was watching this video. Incredibly blackpilling to see establishment Dem donors line up behind another elderly career politician. I've had donors here in Maryland tell me they'd like Steny Hoyer serve to until he's over 100. These people are addicted to losing.

Steny Hoyer's district office isn't even in his district! He hasn't held town halls for over 5 years. Democrats say we're the party of good governance, but elderly reps like Steny make us look like a bunch of hypocrites, and that hurts us nationally. When did any of this become okay?

Barbarian Russians honestly can't understand why civilized countries have a problem with them murdering and raping their way across their former empire. It's like talking to someone from the 15th century.

This is a good example of the media's "exonerative tense," typically reserved for police shootings, the Trump administration, and few others. Who is raising the tensions? Who is adversarial, and why? To quote an old @mcsweeneys.net article, "culpability is impossible when actions no longer exist."

Bolton refused to endorse Harris; he and many other Republicans wanted to pretend 2024 was a normal election. They still assumed that institutions would hold and that there was no meaningful difference between the rule of law and otherwise. That was always a lie meant to make fascism palatable.

If you've noticed your electric bill going up, you're not alone. My bill went up 30% in the past two months. Here in Maryland, our rates are directly affected by construction of new data centers next door in Virginia. We need Congress to look out for everybody, not just tech billionaires.

The Trump administration is intentionally copying the worst regimes of the 20th century. Just like the Nazis did ahead of the infamous 1933 elections, they are intentionally provoking violence in the streets, then claiming they are the only ones who can restore order.

Incredibly blackpilling to see so many 'libertarians' I knew in college go down the fascism pipeline. Turned out they did not regard freedom and liberty as universal values for all mankind, they were just anti-establishment children who wanted to own the libs and use slurs without consequences.

It's astonishing how bad this has gotten, how long this has gone on, and how little urgency Democrats have to fix this problem. This is the best we can do to oppose the greatest threat to American liberty in a lifetime, maybe ever? Who is the audience for this?

I'm running against Steny Hoyer, btw.

Oh, and here's a video of stupid Göring showing off the same stupid bison to stupid Lord Halifax who was still trying to negotiate with these stupid people in 1937. Even the newsreader realizes how stupid it is and says "maybe they should ask the bison."

I'm currently running for US House against my 86-year-old Congressman, Steny Hoyer, in Maryland. If you want someone in Congress who understands this and won't be afraid to call out fascism for what it is, please consider supporting my campaign.

So the point is, even if these people are in fact dumb, did not earn their positions, and are only there because of their slavish devotion to a fascist leader, they are no less dangerous when handed the levers of power.
