Rebecca Solnit: “The United States is being murdered, and it’s an inside job. Every department, every branch, every bureau and function of the federal government is being fatally corrupted or altogether dismantled or disabled.” https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/apr/12/united-states-trump-destruction

Orban, the model for the Trump regime, was just ousted in Hungary.
It's up to USians to vote in massive numbers -- as Hungarians did on Sunday -- if we want to be rid of the Trump rot in OUR government.

@kottke

YES it is Trump, his money hungry supporters, the MAGA and the cowardly Republican Party!!!!!!! THEY ARE CRIMINALS, COWARDS AND TRAITORS!!!!!!

@kottke wasn’t that what the voters voted for? I mean, people warned them.
