Today in “Samuel Pepys’ Diary Reimagined”:

“Have to admit that the tides of events and actions outside the little safe haven of my flat are paralysing me. Don’t seem to find the energy to even write. Nothing much happened on a personal level for the past week, but democracy keeps being shot at and deeply hurt. Is my hope dying stillborn?¹”

Trump and Harris are neck-and-neck. This is a five-alarm fire

No American who cares about the future of this country can afford to remain a mere spectator to our own democracy

The fact that fascist Trump is above 10% in the polls speaks volumes about the decline of the United States.

And the bigoted #MAGANazi is now protected from making gay wedding websites that she’s never been asked to make as part of her business where she doesn’t make web sites by people she made up in her head and then lied about to the #Republican puppet #SCOTUS.

How long before #Trump and the #GOP start calling for their #RepublicanTerrorist cells to attack in retaliation for Trump's massive legal loss?
#FascismOnTheRise

Remember, #Hitler and the #Nazis didn’t start with gas chambers, they started by vilifying queers. The @GOP are following the same playbook.

Perhaps ⁦‪‬⁩ you should call your #Republican House Member or Senator, or even your state or local #GOP politicians and demand they explain how this is lowering inflation or creating jobs?

House Republicans pass bill to ban transgender women, girls from school sports teams — The Hill

House Republicans on Thursday passed a bill that seeks to prohibit transgender women and girls from participating in female athletic programs, moving to the national stage an issue that has thus far mainly played out in state legislatures and individual sports associations.

Just a reminder, #Hitler and the #Nazis didn’t start with gas chambers; they started with queers.

The #Republicans are following the same playbook.
