conservatives go by optics
“rampant crime” = nonwhite people visibly anywhere
“rampant corruption” = “liberals existing visibly anywhere”
“porn and perversion” = “queer people existing visibly anywhere”
they’re forcibly disappearing groups so the groups won’t be visible
I'll be honest, I don't have a lot of resources. But I hope I can stand with those who also don't have a lot l.
the problem for them is seeing Other people
you get rid of the problem … by disappearing the people
the bad voters don’t want problems solved
they only want to feel big
you’re right the first time
Every Democrat that votes in support of even a single one of these nominees MUST be removed from office when their term is up. They are working with Fascists.
@murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov Why aren't you standing up for us?
Like if the help doesn't even matter to the outcome *why are they doing it*
Just sitting on their thumbs would be better than actively voting in fash appointees
Their approval isn't required, but fems bother to approve this incompetent buffoon when they could just don't do it.
It's extremely basic politics.
One argument is we fight every single nom even if it's futile.
The other argument is not waste effort on a guy who's definitely going to win and spend effort on the real freaks instead.
Whichever troglodyte was next -
Wether they treat all nominations like Hegseth (unanimous refusal) or like Rubio seems entirely inconsequential to the question of effective resistance, which is what you're asking for.
So I ask again. What would you have them do?
Did the electorate take this as permission to be defeated forever?
No, we should just quietly acquiesce to whatever the oligarchs want because resistance won't do any good.
If trump isn't better for Israel, why did Netanyahu campaign for him?
and not talk about it
Be seen fighting back, because picking the fight is valuable in itself even if it's unwinnable.
Demonstrate that they will not collaborate with fascists under any circumstance.
Throw even a single punch.
They have the ability to shut down congress. They choose not too

Shame on you @padilla.senate.gov and @schiff.senate.gov

if your child has matching documents that have the correct name and gender marker check with an org like the aclu or a trans name change legal resources org to find out the circumstances for how the E.O. might impact that before hand
Am I wrong, or does that feel super foreboding?
The supporting paperwork won’t match.
I mean, I'm not surprised, but it's especially heavy-handed this time around.
Feels like they really want to tamp down unrest early so he doesn't start on the back foot. I'm just hoping it will have the opposite effect.
The republicans would never approve Kamala’s nominees!!
Burn 'em all down, I say. Hold them all accountable but let's not give one side a pass just because they're already The Evil.
This is from 2022!

EXTREME SARCASM
Or are you tripped up on the word "material"?
Protests don't immediately stop the thing they're protesting against, it doesn't fucking mean people shouldn't do them.
The end point being of they stonewalled Rubio, who is at least kinda competent, Trump will forward worse choices.
No?
Fuck you, Democrats
Case in point? Palestine. If that was your sticking point, the guy who wants build casinos on the rubble of Gaza is the one you helped win.
Also bold of you to assume that I'm just some normal cis het. I survive on disability because of MS and autism. I'm also in the firing line of Project 2025.
I will leave this though. The replies and comments here are disheartening. Any resistance we might give is already being eroded by "no true Scotsman" bs.
On top of that, I'm disabled. I am one of the groups these Nazi fucks want to purge.
so fucking sick of these idiot takes
... then vote on party lines.
my sweet summer child, can we please learn from history instead of repeating the same mistakes in perpetuity?

Also, use alt-text.
btw how's Europe on trans rights and immigrants? lol
are you saying we can expect no better from democrats? then why should we vote for them?
that's your argument here lmao
a Republican one is taking that away, get it yet?
Also, false dichotomy.
