Hmm. What's up with the added comma? That's not in the law. Are they making integrity an afterthought? Is this the first step toward droping integrity completely? This is very concerning.

We need good defense for sure right now. But we also need a movement, a strategy, and a strong slogan/logo that makes us visible and says we won’t accept the fascist destruction of America.

Of course there will be no winning with this crowd. If Waltz went, it wouldn't be Jon Huntsman as national security adviser.

Last night I posted on Republic Report, "Chief Justice John Roberts must show leadership, speaking out in support of attacked judges...."
OK.
US democracy still has a chance against the fascists.

We're At The Point of Authoritarianism Now | Republic Report We've had the rule of law in this country since 1776, when the colonies declared independence from King George III of England. Our democracy has been

Without law, we have a king. And in this case we have a vengeful, corrupt, bigoted king with no respect for our country’s values or its people.
We can't let this happen.

We're at the point of authoritarianism NOW.
Trump admin ignored orders of the Chief Judge, District Court for DC, re deportations; Justice Dept today refused to answer the judge's questions; White House and DoJ are attacking him.
Without law, we have a king. And a stupid one.

Republican Refers to Sarah McBride, Transgender Congress Member, as a Man Representative Keith Self of Texas insisted on calling Representative Sarah McBride, the first openly transgender member of Congress, β€œMr. McBride,” and adjourned the session when challenged about it.

The point of MAGA, other than blatant corruption, is cruelty.
If you voted for it, you should be ashamed.

Every few years a lot of US voters say they want to burn it all down.
Now they've done it.
They've handed the country to con men, oligarchs, white supremacists, nutty ideologues, conspiracy theorists, and actual rapists -- led by an all-of-the-above.
Congrats America.

Putin waged a war of aggression on Ukraine, but, to borrow he phrase, he had no cards. He couldn't beat tiny Ukraine, he was relying on mercenaries and North Koreans, sending them all to slaughter. The world was against him. His country was weak.
You fucking MAGA morons.

Grade his effort as you will, but Zelensky was not afraid. Compare: Bezos. The Trump fascist plan depends on us all being afraid. Stand up for America and our values, don't be afraid, and we can beat these fascists.

My grandfather's family were Jews who came from Pryluky, now north central Ukraine. Stand with the Ukrainian people against Putin's aggression, and against Trump's disgusting aggression and greed.

Trump is a convicted criminal, and now demanding bribes from Bezos, ABC, Zelensky, whoever wants something from the govt.
Musk is a criminal, using the cover of govt reform to kill agencies that try to hold his businesses accountable for abuses.

Calling himself the king and the state.

Using law enforcement against enemies.
