Thank you! I witnessed a beautiful moment yesterday with my grandson and a local artist and I've been replaying it in my head today to remind myself there is beauty and wonderful people in this world.

These weenies love Trump because he validates their desires to play with violence while also personally avoiding it. To them, violence is fantasy. They don't have to face the depravity.
In general, fascism is about fantasy over reality, which makes the violence easier for followers to swallow.

The CBO projects that a combination ofIRA subsidies expiring + the CMS "integrity rule" + the GOP fuckery in the #MAGAMurderBill, around 1/3 of the ~24.2 million #ACA exchange enrollees will lose coverage ENTIRELY due to being priced out of the market.
The remaining 2/3 will see MASSIVE rate hikes.

Trump’s position in 2016 was that the only wars worth doing were wars of conquest! He spent his entire first term either escalating existing conflicts or trying to start new ones! He criticized Biden for opposing attacks on Iran! What is this guy even talking about?!?

/3 What we’re seeing with the accelerating collapse of America is that the things we see as guardrails are not self-enforcing — they rely on norms and values and when those norms and values are ignored or defied the guardrails no longer work.
