Americans are waking up. I don’t care what you call yourselves—Red, Blue, Purple—if you are opposed to Trump’s lies and his fever dream of a Nazi dictatorship in America, we will stand together and lock arms in a great and valiant cause. We are everywhere and we will prevail. And also save Ukraine

The US system has blown up in spectacular fashion, like the space shuttle Challenger in 1986. It turns out the Constitution is shot through with O rings. Poorly designed. The founders weren’t the geniuses we imagine but amateur tinkerers sated with Locke, Montesquieu and Gibbon

McConnell leaves the scene disgraced, an empty shell (the turtle inside has shriveled completely). Nothing for him to look forward to but the grave

It may be that the “paradise of fools” is about to end. The red state people will suffer the most, as their leaders decide which lives “are not worth living,” as the Nazis did in 1940-42 (schizophrenics and jews and the feeble-minded were not, the psychiatrists and doctors decided)

Instead of randomly cutting programs that benefit people (disproportionately those in red states), mightn’t it be easier just to raise taxes on billionaires?

Like it or not, the great struggle of our time has begun: the struggle of real patriots against the former GOP now Trump/Musk/American Nazi traitor party. I am 100 percent committed for as long as it takes; so are many others, and looking around the world, I see many friends and allies.

🇩🇪🇬🇧🇫🇷 German chancellor candidate Merz, after Trump's threats to abandon Europe, called for negotiations with France and Great Britain on nuclear defense. 🗣️ Europe has finally woken up, it's a shame it's so late, and I hope there will be concrete actions soon! ✊ What do you think? 🤔

I wonder if any of the leaders of the hollowed out walking dead party (formerly GOP) or their voters have ever read a history of Nazi Germany, in order to find out how that turned out.

The level of sociopathy and severity of mental illness of Donald Trump has been a stress test for our system, which wasn’t designed to cope with pathology on that scale. At this point the American experiment is at the mercy of a madman (Spoken as a psychiatrist with decades of experience)
