"Underneath Trump’s Shock and Awe that is doing grave damage to the Constitution and Trump’s marginalized targets, there’s a Slop and Ouch that targets everyone this side of his billionaire friends. And that needs to remain visible, too."

"An ideology that places grievance above all else — an ideology that is willing to hurt America if that’s what it takes to reverse the successes of the Biden Administration — is an ideology guaranteed to impose pain far beyond those targeted for spectacle and cruelty."

"Fear of deportation has led to a sharp drop in farm worker attendance across California's agricultural heartland, leaving crops unharvested—and this is a direct result of President Trump's announced immigration crackdown.

The California nonprofit news site CalMatters reports farmworkers are not showing up to harvest crops."

"Trump is doing all of this to the exclusion of taking any action whatsoever that would fulfill his reiterated campaign promise of lowering costs. We sat here and – for months, or maybe years – listened to Trump talk about grocery prices and rent prices and housing prices and the price of eggs."

'Biological Truth'
From an article being prepared...

It is not possible to overstate how utterly ridiculous and brain dead this proclamation is. There is not an iota of biological knowledge or truth in this posturing nonsense. It is borne of a primary school level of biological knowledge. Pandering to a Christian Fundamentalist desire to wind society back to the 1950s where anyone who was different lived a fearful life.

And in the vein of breaking institutions, rules, the law itself — and jubilantly so (see the preceding postings in the thread) — there's Elon Musk engaging in a flagrant, illegal vote-buying scheme on behalf of Trump.

Obviously what they want to do and what gives their puppetmaster Putin great delight is to sh-t all over democratic norms to show that democracy means nothing at all.
