I started using the word "fascist" regularly in 8th grade and people thought it was a joke.
The fun thing is that a lot of the people I called fascists lined up to become one. 💅💅💅

The White Christian Supremacism of this administration is so extreme that it seems like it’s got to resolve with either a massive rejection of such illiberalism, or a violent, authoritarian imposition of it.

In my lifetime the UTGOP has bankrupted itself once for decades over the Open Primary law, looks like they have all intentions to keep pissing away donor money while they tell us we have to shutdown day cares and can’t cancel the grocery tax

That's simply not true. We are all interconnected.

So many thoughts on this, but the number one thought is that our 100% LDS delegation in Congress, who have been told repeatedly to serve refugees by their top leaders, will not care and will do nothing.
Trump Admin planning a rule to re-decide whether *every* refugee who entered under Biden meets their criteria for a refugee. That’s 230,000 people! And no appeals!

DOGE shuts down having not found trillions of dollars of waste or saved any money.
They compromised the security of government systems, fired federal workers and oversaw the dismantling of USAID which has killed 600,000.
By 2030 approx 14 million people will have died.
That’s their legacy
