Ali’s account was deleted by @bsky.app but it there’s still hope for him and his family! They just need $8267 more to get through this. If each person who sees this can donate at least $5, then Ali will be able to reach his goal soon.

I think even more than this is that they know that if Democrats nominally take power in the future - it will be DEMOCRATS who will let them off the hook and start bleating on about bipartisanship as they kick their own voters in the teeth. What is there for the GOP to fear? NOTHING.
