My apologies. That was my frustration coming out. I keep seeing people say things like “just wait until the midterms” as if they really don’t know how bad it is.

Exactly right. Why tf aren’t people paying attention!!

I mean the GOP has likely gained 20-30 seats now thanks to the upcoming end of voting rights act and the constant redistricting assures like a solid 20+ seats for them now. Even a landslide isn't going to be enough
Oh, and a Heritage stooge now owns the voting machines lmao

No. Extreme GOP gerrymandering is the issue. And no one is stopping them.

Two civil rights attorneys who had spoken out against the Trump administration’s efforts to weaken enforcement of the Fair Housing Act were dismissed from their posts. Their work enforcing the Fair Housing Act (a cornerstone of U.S. civil rights) involved investigating and prosecuting landlords,

I've been trying to document the worst of the Trump Admin every week since inauguration in. I don't take a deep dive on any single subject intentionally. I am trying to capture the breast of the awfulness . Usually 15 to 20 items. Take a look if you are interested.

This is the latest.

The need to silence your critics only reveals how weak and fragile you are.

Four Black schoolgirls killed in Birmingham church bombing on September 15, 1963.

There is really a lot going on in this.

Oohh. Okay. I think you are right. And yes, complicated.

But isn’t he shooting up Jesus here?

Trump on...
Stormy Daniels
"I never liked horseface"

Cher
"I promise not to talk about your massive plastic surgeries that didn't work."

Bette Midler
"Bette Midler talks about my hair but I'm not allowed to talk about her ugly face or body"

That was pretty easy to disprove

Gallows humor.

161. The Court's Disastrous Ruling in the Third-Country Removal Case The majority did not just greenlight an especially odious immigration policy without any explanation; it did so in a case in which the government defied the district court—twice—with no consequence.

Today’s unsigned, unexplained #SCOTUS ruling clearing the way for removals of migrants to third countries without any additional process is a disaster—not just on the merits, but because of the government misbehavior that it not only refuses to punish, but effectively rewards.

Me, via “One First”:

This decision is bad enough on the merits. But it also gives the government relief in a case in which it defied the district court at least *twice.* That’s quite a message to send to the government with respect to the costs of its litigation behavior in other cases—or the complete lack thereof.

And there is that stupid Noem tv ad where she says “you may be able to return”. Yeah. Sure.

Such a great break from doomscrolling.

Been thinking about if Obama or Biden, in utter chaos, implemented unheard of tariffs that roiled world markets, crashed the US dollar, and then said a resulting recession is ok— just trust me.

Sanders: He now wants to take away CBS’s license because they did a story that criticized him. Oh my word, CBS criticized him! Oh, let’s drive them out of business, how terrible… If you can’t take criticism, get out of the political process. This is a democracy

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.
