“we’re headed towards a civil war” no bitch we’re in it
The Constitutional Crisis is already here. You are living inside it. No way back, for better or worse. Either fight to win the future or concede to fascist tyranny taking over our country, the world's largest economy and mightiest military.

One thing is crystal clear if the Trump-Vance ticket wins: Ukraine & Palestine will be absolutely fucked. Trump-Vance will gift-wrap Ukraine to Putin, & Palestine to the messianic-Zionists. Europe would probably step up & protect 🇺🇦 a bit. As for the Palestinians, they’ll be totally FUBARed
Breaking news: Donald Trump has chosen Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio as his running mate, selecting a rising star in the party and previously outspoken Trump critic who in recent years has closely aligned himself with the former president.

Yes. But to what end? He’ll get rid of it if he wins and the current SCOTUS will get rid of it if he loses.

Lawyers, I do not want to be mean, but do laws even matter with the federal judiciary and the Supreme Court acting the way it is? Because it’s giving Dred Scott energy all day every day, ok?

Two months ago Greg Abbott pardoned a murderer who texted a friend "I might go to Dallas to shoot looters" then drove into a BLM protest in Austin and killed a protester. The universal response from conservatives to the pardon was "Yeah! Woo-hoo!" Now they say liberals should turn down the rhetoric

Decade after decade of stochastic terror, gun rights fervor, & the foment of conspiratorial thinking by, from, on, & within the right, & yet it's somehow DEMOCRATS & the LEFT who need to "calm things down" or "lower the temperature?" Nah son. We *been* calm, and quite fucking cool and collected. …

I've had some wine but I wanna say a thing. This country isn't just the evil that has controlled it. This country is the people who have fought to get us where we are, the people who fought that evil. I don't think we're going to let fascism happen without a massive fight. Let's fuckin' go

Folks are scared and angry and rightfully so, and the culture of fighting the wrong targets in the most unnuanced way here and getting more and more caustic if anyone has feelings about that is just…weird

A lot of you are living oppression brand new; I’m at least the fourth generation of my family to put up with this specific fuckery. And we get up fighting for all of y’all even though you don’t turn out for us. And then you slag us for trying. It’s worse than rude.

Think about which groups fall under "unhuman." Those are the stakes.

Declaring people to be vermin, enemies of the state, or un-human is the sort of language people adopt before they pursue a genocide.
