The Sad State of our Nation

Seth Abramson via Bluesky

Stunning how media has turned passage of the Abominable Bill into a will they-or-won’t they romcom with a July 4th deadline for Cinderella to kiss the prince, rather than a situation in which multiple members of Congress say they’re terrified they or their families will be killed if they cross Trump

This is what we’ve come to. I hope these member of Congress stand up and do what’s right for our nation.

Let me be specific about what I mean. This week, Donald Trump posted explicit orders on Truth Social directing federal law enforcement to conduct “Mass Deportation Operations” targeting “America’s largest Cities” because they are “the core of the Democrat Power Center.” He used the term “REMIGRATION”—language borrowed directly from European fascist movements. He accused Democratic officials of treason for opposing him. He framed resistance to his orders as hatred of America itself.

We are a fascist nation and that’s disgusting. My sincerest hope is we can force that orange asshole out of office after his four year reign of terror is over.
