Why is Trump and his regime moving so fast and aggressively to dismantle our Democracy and institutions?

Because this is what they fear most: that if people wake up, they’ll realize how small the ruling class actually is 👇

#ResistTrump

It's Easter Sunday, a day when megachurches across the nation will put on shows that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars & pat themselves on that back for displays of wealth & public worship Jesus emphatically expressed disgust for.

He would have HATED you fascist money grubbing fucks 🥰

Clarke charted attitudes on gender norms from 2001 to 2023, ranking responses on a scale of one to seven based on people’s agreement with statements such as: “It is better for everyone involved if the man earns the money and the woman takes care of the home and children.” Seven represents “strong agreement”. Other statements included: “On the whole, men make better political leaders than women do”, and “Mothers who don’t really need the money shouldn’t work”. Clarke found that while young women are continuing to move away from traditional gender ideas, gen Z men are more likely to believe them compared with millennial and gen X men. Score represents the average response to a range of subjective questions on gender norms in the Hilda survey. Scores range from 1 to 7, with 7 being ‘strongly agree’.

Illustration: Erin Clarke “There’s a general trend downwards … the average belief in traditional gender roles has been declining for the last 20 years,” Clarke says. “But this group of gen Z men seems to be the exception to this trend.” Until 2018, data showed gen Z men broadly held similar views to others a bit older that them, but that has changed even when factors including education, whether they’re partnered, and whether they live in a city or a rural area are accounted for. “There is something going on,” she says.

Really just incredibly horrifying to see these confirmations that gen z men are shifting towards abusive, violent and misogynist worldviews en masse. Lots of blame to go around but for me corporations like Spotify and Netflix helped this happen

🚨 BREAKING: Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders is appealing FEMA’s denial of a Major Disaster Declaration. This follows severe floods and tornadoes across the state, yet the federal government rejected the request for aid. Even GOP-led states are getting stiffed.

Happy Easter for those who celebrate.

A harmful budget that funds Trump & Musk’s government take down and to cuts services working people rely on just passed.

A temporary lapse in funding would be better than this CR.

We are disappointed at the refusal of Leader Schumer & Senate Democrats to oppose this bill.

BREAKING: Trump's VA rescinds policy treating transgender vets with dignity (exclusive) The Trump administration quietly reversed the policy, which means trans veterans won't be protected from discrimination at VA facilities.

The VA has removed discrimination protections from transgender vets, dishonoring their service.

It is one thing to watch a dictator grab power.

It is another to hand it to him.

I’m headed to the Senate floor now.

To cast an emphatic “no.”

Here is a list of town halls taking place next week that you should show up at. I am sorry, I mean Chuck Schumer’s book parties. If there are any missing, please add in the responses.

If Dems were unwilling to fight over cabinet nominees and unwilling to fight over the budget/shutdown, it’s safe to assume they’re not going to fight over anything.

The provision of the 14th amendment that the Supreme Court unanimously wrote out of the constitution existed for a reason. Its drafters knew what would happen if you allowed insurrectionists back into power.

BREAKING: The Continuing Resolution cloture motion has passed 62-38, advancing the CR to a final vote.

These are the Democrats who voted to invoke cloture:

There are no words in the English language sufficient to describe how heartburstingly angry I am at the 8 traitors who just sold us all down the river.

It is our job as Americans to make sure they can NEVER appear in public life EVER again.

Die wretched and alone, unloved by your country.

The text of the post reads, "Great news," accompanied by an image of a large yellow billboard in an urban setting with tall buildings in the background. The billboard text states, "If you are looking for some good news, Tesla lost $330 billion in market value in 25 days," with the Tesla logo and the text "|tPOSKE$" at the bottom. In front of the billboard, there is a black Tesla car parked on the street, and a few pedestrians are visible walking nearby. The scene appears to highlight a significant financial decline for Tesla with a sarcastic tone.

I’d like to see more, thanks.

Fuck you to every single Dem Senator who voted for this fucking fascist shit.

Fuck.
You.

I wish I lived in a country where Chuck Schumer and John Fetterman had at least half the balls of Nancy Pelosi or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Walz: I think they hate public education because it’s easier to run an authoritarian government if you don’t have a population that knows.

Schumer is trying to justify his vote on Jake Tapper right now, saying if they had let the government shut down "they could fire half the workers in the federal government."

WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY'RE DOING RIGHT NOW CHUCK

😂🤣the sort of crap my ex wife would say

Shutting off USAID payments is bad, but it's not just that: if someone (Trump, Musk, a lackey, whoever) can unilaterally shut off Congressionally-appropriated payments, they can shut off anything. Medicare payments to certain hospitals. Social Security checks to selected voters. Sky's the limit.

Maybe someone with the means to do so should take out a full-page ad in as many newspapers as they can that just says “ELON MUSK HAS YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER”

Memory-Holing Jan. 6: What Happens When You Try to Make History Vanish? The Trump administration’s decision to delete a DOJ database of cases against Capitol riot defendants places those who seek to preserve the historical record in direct opposition to their own…

NEW: The removal of the DOJ’s Jan. 6 database signals the Trump administration’s intention to not only spare his supporters any further consequences for their role in the riot, but to erase the event from the record.

Pam Bondi is disbanding the Foreign Influence Task Force - the FBI team that is charged with combatting foreign meddling in US elections.

Worth asking how this makes us more safe in any way, shape, or form.

Raffensperger Asks Federal Government for Help Suppressing Voters Read more.

NEW: Shortly after Pam Bondi was sworn in Wednesday, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger asked her to drop the Department of Justice’s lawsuit challenging the state’s 2021 voter suppression law, S.B. 202.

I warned you, Raffensperger is no hero. He is a GOP vote suppressor.
