Just a dude warning folks about fascism-y things. Charges of Treasonous Rebellion against Trump and his Co-Conspirators: https://bsky.app/profile/scooptown.bsky.social/post/3lq5rd2jdj22w

With primaries behind us, it's now time for Dems to focus on winning in Nov. That'll involve something hard: establishment Dems will need to ask what they can learn from progressives, progressives will have to focus on what they can learn from centrists & both'll have to find ways to work together.

Quite an upset in the #KSGov Dem primary. State Sen. Cindy Holscher, who came out against data centers and the Kansas City Chiefs stadium deal, has defeated state Sen. Ethan Corson, who had a big financial edge and an endorsement from term-limited Gov. Laura Kelly.

A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…

GOP: Obama and Biden weaponized the government against the GOP. REALITY: No. GOP: Therefore we will weaponize the government against the citizens. REALITY: What?

Under Eisenhower, we had 90+% marginal tax rates for top earners. That created the middle class of the 50s and 60s that allowed kids to go to college for almost nothing. It funded the interstate highway system. It funded the space race. It works. People are just too fucking stupid to understand it.

We can thank 30 years of neoliberals working hand in hand with nationalist GOP and technofascists for this one. Obama years will lead us right back here. It's either progress or Fascism; and the majority of Americans dont recognize Fascism unless it's shoving people in an oven.

A paramilitary group plotted to overthrow the Constitution then conducted a violent attack on America. They were convicted in court of seditious conspiracy, and jailed. Then the leader they aimed to illegally install got power and let them out, their records wiped clean. The Jan. 6 attackers won.

A new report found hundreds of cases where immigration officials misused tear gas, pepper spray, and rubber bullets during protests, the majority of which were peaceful before force was used. Peaceful protest isn't a threat to democracy. A government that attacks people for exercising that right is.

From L.A. to Minneapolis, agents and officers improperly used tear gas, pepper balls and rubber bullets against protesters and journalists.
