Incredibly brave - what a hero.
It also proves that the gun lobby’s line that “the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun” is a lie.
Get guns out of our communities. Stop the violence.

It’s that simple. There will never be public policy that reflects the will of the people if political donations are allowed.
Ban them all, or at the very least ban all organisations and limit personal donations to (say) $100.

“Receipt/Payment of political donations must be criminalized.”
It’s this. Get ride of political donations and everything else will fall into place. Conversely, while political donations continue to exist, policy that reflects the will of the people is not possible.

Dear God (can I use your first name?), the thing about hypocrites, sorry republicans, is that they can commit heinous acts, beg you for forgiveness, and do it all again.
Did you really forgive them or are they lying?

Objectively, Bluesky isn’t flooded with racism, bigotry, and disinformation. That makes it a very good app on its own.

1362 days to go? I admire your optimism, but I suspect it is assumes free and fair elections at that time.
The neo-fascists have not come all this way to let a trifling election get in their way. The systematic deconstruction of the administrative state ensures they will not be free and fair.

You’re dreaming if you think this could be over in 4 years. They haven’t come all this way to let their plans be halted by an election.

It was always thus, James. Trump simply removed the vail of pretence, revealing their true selves.

Burning it all down equals untold death and destruction.
Avoiding that requires acceptance that it’s all over and the will to avoid that outcome.
New countries can emerge from the wreckage - those that stand for western liberal democracy and the common good; others will align with facism.

It’s too late to save democracy in the U.S - that died years ago.
The dismantling of the administrative state, the transition to oligarchy, reversal of friends to foes (and vice-versa) is nearly complete.
The U.S. is done. The question is what common good can be build from the ashes?

Sadly Mark, the USA is irreparably broken:
The courts and legislative branches are broken. The administrative state is broken. Electoral and voting processes are broken.
The causes are rooted in the constitution.
The choices are clear:
1. Oligarchy/Failed State
2. Constitutional convention
