Donald Trump pardoned the “Camp Auschwitz” guy, dined with Holocaust deniers, and said, “any Jewish person that votes for Democrats hates their religion.” The Young Republicans chat isn’t a coincidence. It’s a culture.

Which of course encompasses the vast, vast majority of America.

That is good. There are no doubt a lot of subgroups who are in big trouble if the Trump regime is allowed to continue for long. If you’re not a white male conservative Christian Trump supporter, you’re going to eventually be targeted in Trump’s America, if you haven’t been already.

Totally totally agree. There’s huge danger here. It’s already been bad on an epic level, and I think further into his term you’ll start seeing things like, same sex marriage banned, LGBTQ books banned, LGBTQ folks heavily being targeted…and that’s just a few examples. He won’t stop at one group.

I suspect disinviting the press corps from official Pentagon briefings and forcing them to get their info from other sources is not going to work out the way the administration hopes it will

It does increasingly seem like some sort of dividing the country is going to happen (and is necessary). Feels like next year’s elections are the last shot, if D’s can take back the majority and impeach, it’s a start. If not, the options are grim. I’m for sure not going to continue to live like this.

This is the same Speaker who has repeatedly refused to put up the congressionally-mandated plaque honoring the Capitol Police members who were viciously assaulted by MAGA goons on January 6th.

We've seen your deeds, you oily liar.

No cease fire in Gaza. He blew up another boat in the waters off of Venezuela. He has the military in the streets of U.S. cities. He changed the Department of Defense to The Department of War.

But, sure MAGA, do tell me how he deserves a Peace prize.

This is damage control mode.

Young Republicans.🙄

We know where they got their racism from.

I saw a bumper sticker the other day, “Liberals: Fuck around and find out” next to picture of an assault rifle. Even in a conservative area, I had never seen anything like that until Trump. Now it’s common, and seems to get worse by the week. The right is openly violent and hateful.

I’m so glad this came out. Those of us who live in conservative areas are well aware, but I’m not sure much of the nation realizes how openly racist, sexist, homophobic, etc. much of the right is now. Pure evil. Trump has taken the worst people and made them feel empowered to openly hate again.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Dear WH Press Corp
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Start demanding answers. Portland isn’t on fire. Chicago isn’t at war. Seattle isn’t thanking him.
ANTIFA isn’t assaulting ICE agents
Hold him accountable for the lies.
Refuse to ask anything else until he answers these.
Demand the proof

I hopped over to Facebook after hearing about this, curious what the MAGA heads were thinking. The reaction and comments seemed to be pretty universally negative. Keep digging that hole, Trump. Even the MTG’s and Joe Rogan’s of the world are starting to speak out pretty vocally against his actions.

When you have the worst people in the world endorsing you for a peace prize, that says it all.

Troy Dillon @troydillon.bsky.social · 5d

That’s awesome. I saw a great Reuters headline also, that was blatantly calling Letitia James’ indictment retribution by Trump. Then the sub-headline talked about how Trump is targeting his political opponents. Maybe the media is finally figuring it out.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..
