#Republicans are playing a #deadly game with no #rules, #limits, #ethics, #commonsense, #morailty or #decency. ALL of them, with the exception of a tiny handful, go along.
Repeatedly, the #GOP has shown it will use any tool at its disposal, including State sponsored #terrorism, threatening the #health, #safety, and basic human #rights of Americans, and against #democracy.
Democrats mostly wring their hands, make jokes, call names and post insults on the dead bird site.

Is #empathy a #sin? Some #conservative #Christians argue it can be
Empathy is usually regarded as a #virtue, a key to human #decency & #kindness. And yet, with increasing momentum, voices on the #ChristianRight are preaching that it has become a #vice.

"Just wake up in the morning knowing that masked ICE agents are terrorizing mothers and fathers and children and throwing them in cages, and back in Washington D.C., Trump is picking new gold medallions for the walls of his bathroom and meeting with people like Hegseth and Bondi about their upcoming police state, and how do you feel? You feel like giving up."

Lucian K. Truscott on growing old in the era of Republicans' brutal (and gleeful) assault on democracy, the ties that bind us, decency and civility, truth, facts, science, reality itself:
"We grew up absurd, now we’re growing old absurd. Read your newsfeed on your phone. Turn on MSNBC. Hell, don’t bother reading anything."

How should #Democrats take on #Trump, authoritarianism, and the doom-mongers?
To quote John Lewis: “Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble"

It really does bug me that the Retreat Farm, like most other places in town that host public events, refuses to make any accommodations for secure, convenient bicycle parking, despite being on the immediate edge of the downtown area (downtown population about 7500 people).
I counted only three bicycles at the concert, including my own. Very few people will ride to places they are implicitly told they are not welcome.
In #USA today
we can NO longer talk about choosing between #Democrat or #'Repubblican' (MAGAs)
The choice is between #Ethics, #Morals, #Decency #Rules of Laws
and
#racism, #cruelty, #chaos, #immorality #perversion of the #MAGAGOP
Choosing between "the #State" and "Who steals the most" takes everything"
Choosing between #Institutions that help and protect #Citizens
or 'every man for himself'.
Choosing between #Democracy #freedom #civilization... #Decency
or #Fascism.
@TheBreadmonkey @csolisr Too many embrace AI with no question, down the rabbit hole, but #fediverse remains a mystery. Huge loss for folks who would learn so much, share ideas, insights, from around the world, and find real #community here. #truth #democracy #global #learning #knowledge #respect #decency #facts not #lies And No #CEO - yeh that works for us!
The #pride is about #decency , #humanity and, last not least, #love from which nobody should be excluded. Unfortunately, as all this is under extreme pressure now, it is also about protest, courage and perseverance. #washingtonpride https://www.tagesschau.de/ausland/amerika/washington-pride-100.html
This is worth another bump.
["...] a detailed study of the German Reserve Police Battalion 101 [in Nazi Germany]. Browning concludes from his detailed study that the middle-aged men who made up this unit mostly killed due to peer pressure and obedience to orders, but that they could get out of participating in massacres, although few did."
