I mean, the entire Texas government is MAGA, top to bottom, and actively corrupt - Ken Paxton, our beloved State AG said in the last election, Biden might have carried Texas if he didn't throw out votes from Harris County (Houston)

Texas has been under GOP control for 25 years. Every single statewide office held by Republicans. Texas ranks last in quality of life, worst in health insurance. Power goes out often; people die of heat or cold. The infant death rate is rising; women die giving birth. These are features, not bugs.
Anger grows as some senior facilities left without power for days: ‘It’s horrible what the state of Texas is doing’ | CNNwww.cnn.com As Tina Kitzmiller sat inside her sweltering apartment, windows and doors open in the hope of catching even the slightest breeze, she was frustrated and worried for her dog and her neighbors.

how sad that cities are formed organically by forces beyond the control of humans

Sticker Mule is both A) A more expensive option and B) Run by a trophy-hunting, Trump-worshiping Qultist. You have other options! Check this spreadsheet! (And while we're at it: ditch U-LINE. Also unfathomably awful people.)
all I had to do was click on one sticker ad on IG and suddenly my feed was full of other sticker ads. I clicked on them all and did the math for you. The best small-run samples pricing is at SlapCo; best overall pricing is at Sticker Cyborg or Sticker OG Factory. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Aileen Cannon is a good example of how Project 2025 would work. You put a barely qualified fascist in every government position that matters and BINGO. Fash times in the USA!

*TRUMP JUDGE DISMISSES FLORIDA CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS CASE

Dems are like someone tried to kill the game show Hitler coup guy, so we can't say anything bad about Nazis now and must surrender the country.

Over/under on Trump passing out some of the stolen classified documents at the RNC?

It's okay, guys, the institutional guardrails will save us

as predictable as a sunrise
For the next act, Aileen Cannon is going to cite to Thomas's concurrence on the constitutionality of Jack Smith's appointment to dismiss the Florida documents case.

Judge Cannon went and did it. She has dismissed the stolen documents case against Trump on Clarence Thomas’s (nonsense) appointments clause rationale.

the Constitution now effectively reads, in its entirety: "Donald Trump Is America's Special Boy and Can Do No Wrong"

This wouldn't have happened if Trump had been where he's supposed to be: prison. Just saying.

What they mean is that the "temperature" is raised whenever people say accurate things about Republican candidates and their policies. It is everyone's civic duty to repeat Republican falsehoods.
Seen a lot of comments like “hey Americans who support democracy, oppose political violence, and value truth, we have to take the temperature down,” and while well-intentioned, I don’t think it’ll work, because they’re not the ones raising the temperature.

The way forward is mutual aid. Feel lost, lonely, scared? There is a free fridge project or pantry near you. Make some sandwiches. I am absolutely not kidding about this. “Not Knowing What Else To Do, Woman Bakes American-Flag Cake” is not terrible advice if you give it away.

And while you do the mutual aid, make comrades. Build relationships and connection. That's where our power lies: in our relationships. Whatever comes, a more connected community is a more resilient and safer community.

There is a devastating paragraph in this that highlights the annually increasingly violent rhetoric that has accompanied our increasingly violent political reality from 2015 to now. Made my stomach drop.
Well I'm given to understand that today & for a VERY limited time, our nation's political violence party is shocked—shocked!—to learn that we currently live in a world of normalized political violence, and would like very much to know who is to blame. Full Essay: www.the-reframe.com/gambling-in-...

I think it's terrible how the people driving around with "liberal hunting license" bumper stickers were made to fear for their lives due to political violence

What the fuck. Absolutely not.

I won't be surprised if it was two MAGAs fighting over something and a gun got pulled, and had nothing to do with Trump himself.

Oh good, a Reichstag fire.
Apparent gunshots reported at Trump rally in Butler, PA, just now. Trump's ear appears bloodied as he's taken off-state. In the video, Trump is speaking, then there are some pops, then Trump touches his head, then everyone jumps on the ground. He pumped his fist a few times while leaving.

Today there are so many disingenuous trolls and mercenary dude-bros celebrated in the discourse that’s it’s quaint to remember a time when the public embraced good-hearted eccentrics who tried to entertain and educate. They played along with the mockery - but people got something from it.
