Here's an idea: How about we, as a culture, stop normalizing and finding it funny when an old white man feigns helplessness about his attraction to teens/young women. How about we, as a culture, say NO, we no longer accept this gross behavior bullshit from bygone generations when abuse was ok.

Republicans Against Trumpism @rpsagainsttrump.bsky.social · Aug 5

Newly unearthed video shows Trump bragging about hiring a “beautiful” 17- or 18-year-old girl just for her looks:

“See, now if she worked on my plane, that’s like a death wish for me, right? That’s like an alcoholic,” said Trump.

What a creep!

GOV. WALZ: "The biggest myth is that this guy understands business. He's an absolute abject failure at business — the irony is calling Democrats socialists when I am begging for free markets here to allow capitalism to work. Trump’s the one with government interference." (From @atrupar.com )

Whistles to warn that ICE is in the area? Brilliant.

If you are able, and in an ICEy neighborhood, buy a bunch and hand them out to your neighbors.

Jay Kuo @nycjayjay.bsky.social · 23h

We can learn a great deal about how to handle ICE in our towns from the good people of Chicago. Everybody be ready with whistles to summon the neighborhood.

Brilliant idea.

Oh, I'm so sorry, I don't like the way I worded that at all. Your passion is 🔥and all of your/our emotions are 100% valid. I did not mean to imply that we shouldn't feel/react to them, because we have hearts and of course we DO react.

I had hope for him a long time ago. He had the opportunity to use his traumatic past and alchemize it into national good.

But he didn't. He became the abuser instead.

✨️The Worst Martha✨️ @theworstmartha.bsky.social · 1d

I know. Then i remember that's their goal, to trigger us. I'm not giving it to them.

Sunday reading:

I wrote about the aggrieved extremist who is currently firing thousands of federal workers and ravaging state capacity based on conspiratorial nonsense - and about mainstream media’s infuriating tendency to sanitize Russell Vought and the regime he serves.

This week’s piece:

We need to talk about Russell Vought – But Properly

Why certain mainstream outlets insist on sanitizing Vought as a devout “small government” conservative – and what actually animates his war against pluralistic democracy

It's really not that hard, just look at the word: anti (against) fa (fascism). Shouldn't we all be anti fascism? Isn't that what our ancestors fought wars for?

47s regime is fascist. Google a checklist, it's all there. Experts on fascism say we've already crossed the line; we're there.
