@1 I hope none of them feel safe or secure while citizens civil liberties are under attack. Very sad but not surprising the Democrats were tripping over themselves to align with the Fascists on this one to give police even more money even though women (and soon to be everyone not a straight white male) across the country are actually the ones in danger. What's the tipping point going to be? Voting our way out of this seems less and less likely. Show up to the polls. But show up to their houses too. May they never poop in peace again.

QE2 isn't going to step down. She's going to die, and relatively soon - before next Spring probably. She's 96, after all.

The anti-human liars at the Court deserve nothing but scorn and derision everywhere they go. No peace for those religio-fascists. Fuck them. Democrats leaders should be out there with the protestors, not trying to lock them up. What a pathetic display of craven conformity.

The contrast between the Ukrainians’ incredible bravery in fighting barbaric Ru$$ians and the Democrats’ surrender to the illegitimate Republinazi fascists here at home is beyond appalling.

Diamond Joe called Mitch McCONjob a good man and a friend... who wants him either jailed or dead. Nancy Pelosi says she wants a strong Republinazi party when they're looting the country and want to kill us. It's all so demoralizing and humiliating. The Democratic "leadership" has got to go.

They can't even defend themselves from the GrOPers ongoing coup to overthrow democracy that they're bragging about openly. And people used to wonder how the Weimar Republic collapsed. Pathetic.

Jesus, Endless War, and the Rise of American Fascism

The Democratic Party is hoping to thwart an election rout by running against the expected Supreme Court decision on abortion. This is depressingly all that is left of its political capital.

… behind the walls of the Democratic Party’s Potemkin village stands the billionaire class. Democrats have failed to address the structural injustices that turned America into an oligarchic state, where the obscenely rich squabble like children in a sandbox over multibillion-dollar toys.

The longer this game of political theater continues, the worse things will get.

The Christian fascists have coalesced in cult-like fashion around Donald Trump. They are bankrolled by the most retrograde forces of capitalism.

The capitalists permit the stupidities of the Christian fascists and their self-destructive social and cultural wars.

In exchange, the billionaire class gets corporate monopolies, union busting, privatized state, and municipal services, including public education, revoked government regulations, especially environmental regulation, and can engage in a virtual tax boycott.

The political deformities we have spawned are not unique. They are the product of a society and government that no longer functions on behalf of the citizenry, one that has been seized by a tiny cabal, in our case corporate, to serve its exclusive interests.
