Everyone in the US who voted for Donald, everyone in the US who stayed home, everyone who said "they're both the same", everyone who spent months being useful idiots for the fascist party's enthusiasm suppression agitprop by amplifying attacks and attacking Biden and then Harris -- you own this. You are responsible.

There was no higher priority in 2024 than preventing the election of a man who never wanted to govern and only wanted to rule. I fucking warned you, and so many of you blew me off.

@fonecokid The IT guy's comments sound like some of the guys I'm working with currently. They think it's a great bill. The company provides dialysis services, 80% of people on dialysis are on Medicare /Medicaid... I'm just a contractor so I keep my mouth shut and my resume up to date. Hope I stick around long enough to get to experience their reactions when corporate income drops through the floor.

“No denial or omission in law can erase the concrete reality that trans & intersex people have and will always exist.”

“The erasure of a group from public life is a step towards an attempt to erase that group’s existence, which is the very definition of genocide”

@Ryan @Pamela1960 @kathimmel working as designed.

the one thing i really implore, in the made up year of 2025, is that we don't sit around being continually surprised that things are falling apart. many of us did the math on this years ago and saw it coming, everything is proceeding according to the laws of physics and other sciences. you are not a deer caught in headlights, you are an animal with opposable thumbs and incredible agency on this planet. for fucks sake use your powers

Nice primer on how most of what ICE is doing is within the letter if not the spirit of the law. I will remind you that this was also true of the Gestapo in Nazi Germany. How did Trump put it? Very legal, very cool. GIFT LINK: wapo.st/44r4A0r

@dangillmor

Hitler's rise to dictatorship was also enabled by the wealthy & influential.

They deluded themselves that they'd personally benefit from a lawless rogue state, bent on wars of conquest.

Many lost their lands, wealth, titles, and power to fascism & war.

They realized too late that the system that preserved their riches vanished under the Nazi boot.

This fuckin country

@counterpoint_politics

No toilets. No water. No ventilation. No medical attention.

Worse than Nazi concentration/extermination camps & no gas chambers needed. Florida's suffocating summer heat & humidity will bake them alive inside those plastic bags, if they don't die of heat stroke first.

This is mass murder.

Unexpectedly?

"Private sector hiring unexpectedly contracted in June, payrolls processing firm ADP said Wednesday."

In the US we are currently seeing this, and more:

• Dangerous language that dehumanizes
• Creation of the first ever list of every US citizen
• A new plan to start revoking citizenship
• Massive funding for ICE
• Presidential threats to deport citizens

This is fascism and the precursor to atrocities.

Sweden bans AR-15 rifles for hunting; current owners must switch to sport shooting or surrender them. Confiscated weapons will be donated to Ukraine.

@gelliottmorris.com It makes perfect sense if you don't anticipate competitive free and fair elections.

@ThreeSigma @FaithinBones @petergleick Not to mention the Dem Senators that have been voting for a bunch of Trump appointees.

@paulc @jeff It will simply make it up and provide a statistically likely approval.
