two big things happened imo: Trump winning in 2016 apparently proved they could utterly wallow in all their worst instincts and still win, and Elon buying Twitter and turning it into a) the default conservative comms platform b) an openly Nazi sewer

This is 100% correct. There is definitely a long history of Nazi-adjacent fascism in the US, and the political dimensions of that history occurred on the fringes of the GOP as those fascists tried to get a foothold in that institution...but the last 10 years mark a significant break in that history.

"they've always been like this" is always a tempting savvy take but it is just not true that Republican staffers were 100 percent open Nazis back in 2004, or hell even 2014. they just weren't

Michael Caley @michaelcaley.bsky.social · 7h

there have been a lot of responses to this arguing that young Republicans were motivated by such feelings but didn't express them openly

and I think a crucial lesson of the Trump era is that there is great value in people not expressing these things openly! that's a big and decisive change!

Excess deaths are going to climb. Not just from hunger, but loneliness, and the fact that meal deliveries are wellness checks that can troubleshoot issues before they become dangerous ones.

Texas Public Radio @texaspublicradio.bsky.social · 23h

Meals on Wheels San Antonio is suspending food delivery services for hundreds of senior clients in the first week of November due to major budget cuts. The home meal delivery nonprofit said a funding reduction from AACOG forced the decision.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Months before catastrophic floods swept through an Alaska Native village on Sunday, the Trump administration canceled a $20 million grant meant to protect the community from extreme flooding. At the time, the EPA administrator said he was eliminating "wasteful DEI and Environmental Justice grants."

Unconstitutional, damaging to our democracy and--last time I checked--murder is a crime. Let's not gussy it up and call it acts of war. This is murder.

This is the FIFTH time Trump has carried out an illegal bombing in the Caribbean.

Using the military to execute alleged criminals with no due process or input from Congress is brazenly unconstitutional and damaging to our democracy.
