Vance could be worse if the two unelected officials (Miller & Vought) make enough progress on destroying our democracy and establishing an authoritarian government

If M&V still need MAGA for votes, I think they are sunk without Trump

So timing may determine what happens

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants.

Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.

The sitting president of the United States is untethered from reality

Two unelected officials (Miller&Vought) are dismantling democracy and setting up an authoritarian government

The GOP, corporate media and billionaire donors are standing by to reap the profits

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

Trump was POTUS on J6.

It was Trump’s FBI.

Biden’s win had not even been certified yet.

Trump’s lies are beyond insane.

This is what the lead should be for corporate media

Instead they are driven by greed and are complicit in the establishment of an authoritarian government

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

Good morning and Happy Sunday to everyone who correctly remembers that contrary to trump's post, Joe Biden was NOT the President on January 6, 2021 -- trump was.

His delusional episodes are increasing, it's time for the 25th Amendment.

HE IS UNFIT TO SERVE.

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress over two weeks ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in.

Why the delay?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.
