The dark cloud behind that silver lining is that SIXTY-ONE PERCENT of people who are still willing to identify as Republicans ARE PERFECTLY OK WITH THE #ICETAPO MURDERING US IN THE STREETS for no other reason than that we dared to exercise our civil rights as Americans to oppose der #Trumpenfuhrer.... 😖

This is #TodaysGOP.

In this Christmas season, #TodaysGOP wants us to know that THEIR 'solution' to childhood poverty is to let our #AmericanOligarchs throw their pocket change at starving families as they pass us in their gilded carriages, so we can tug at our forelocks and show proper gratitude for their largesse.

You know, instead of expecting them to actually PAY TAXES on the obscene profits they've been making for decades by offshoring & automating all the American jobs they can sacrifice on that altar, leaving the taxpayer to pick up the pieces (e.g., healthcare, SNAP, low-income housing) of the millions of lives they've shattered. #Scrooged #BillionairesAreAPolicyFailure #WhatWouldRobespierreDo

Another billionaire just announced a donation to "Trump accounts"

Why is Mainstream Media Ignoring Overtly Racist Attacks on Mamdani from Congressional Republicans?

Non-stop Islamophobic vitriol, threats of deportation, and virtually no coverage from CNN, NBC, CBS, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal or The Washington Post.

In These Times

It absolutely was. A coordinated insurrection, ordered by a #TRE45ON -ous president, at the behest of a hostile foreign power, with the support and active complicity of #TodaysGOP. Why do you think #BenedictDonald and his party LOATHE the Intelligence Community with such a passion? Because we LITERALLY WATCHED him sell America down the river to America's adversaries, since MONITORING THE RUSSIANS HE WAS CONSPIRING WITH was part of our ordinary, due-course mission.

In the wake of Tucker interviewing Nick Fuentes for his show, now is a good time to read @zackbeauchamp.bsky.social's latest on the GOP's struggle to keep antisemites in the tent without going full nazi https://www.vox.com/politics/466063/republican-fuentes-carlson-owens-trump-antisemitism-civil-war

It looks like Trump’s little tantrum has backfired. Everywhere you look, there are clips of Reagan talking about the dangers of tariffs and protectionism. Many are posting his comments on immigration. It’s all exposing how radicalized and far right the modern day Republican Party has become.
