It's troubling that the Indiana State Senator had an issue with Trump's hateful rhetoric only after it impacted his own family. Was he OK with all the hateful things Trump has done and said since he took office? This smacks of hypocrisy to me!
Additionally, another Indiana Rep, Greg Walker refuses to go along with the redistricting scheme. HCR quoted him yesterday “I was taught as a child the difference between right and wrong, and this is just wrong on so many levels.” People are opening their eyes! Heads are clearing! Time for a crisp walk outside 🌞
Good grief, what a mess! It does feel like the GOP dominated Congress is wakening and just now reading the fine print of the Faustian Bargain they signed blindly. The expiration date is rapidly approaching.
The tide is turning and, you are correct, we must bellow at Congress to make America......America again!!
Glad to see today’s excellent rundown of this regime’s ongoing treason and depravity already has over 4 thousand FB readers!
As today’s essay shows, the cowards and enablers of Trump and his regime have lost any claim to innocence or ignorance. In plain sight, Trump’s cabal of traitors and criminals are abusing their power to destroy the rule of law and evidence-based democratic governance, for revenge and boundless greed. With every act and statement, they make clear their preference for sadists, financial felons, brutal assailants and murderers and America’s enemies. Like all sociopaths and extortionists, Trump and friends also saw how effective it would be to use government power to shake down their targets.
Still, it seems many of us aren’t ready to see or accept the reality of what’s happening. Why we in the unabashed opposition are critical to the fight. Thankfully, Mary’s dedication to truth and talent for communicating help keep us informed and motivated!
Just the same in the U.K. except Farage is not in power but currently has the most votes. His area Mayor (senior position) has been jailed for 10.5 years for selling secrets to Russia, he personally has 20 outstanding complaints against him by other class members for explicit racism (one for over 5 years) and a teacher backs them up. Farage’s reply is that he can’t remember that long ago and no one complained then as it was acceptable. I remember racial slurs from 50 years ago, branded into my brain, it was not acceptable. He is leading in the polls. I live in hope his good friend Donald meets his end and the idiots will stop looking at the immigrants and learn the lesson. I really worry about the future even if I don’t live to see it. Hence I am here, for unadulterated truth.
My thoughts on our Democracy after reading this is, like an old wooden ship, though she creaks, she holds. It is up to us to make sure she continues to hold.
Mary, this is just brilliant writing. Your barely contained righteous anger is what so many of us are feeling. To see it all written so eloquently is cathartic. Thank you so much.
Your best analysis of all the crap going down this week yet. And so gorgeously written. Saving this for posterity— no matter how long it takes to come out of the apocalypse.
Despite all of the negatives, your post today gives me some hope. Thank you.

At this point I’m taking the win without moralizing. Some people take longer to wake up.

in this case it feels more like a tipping point. We'll have to see how his attitude towards trumpism develops, or not.
Sounds like he’s just waking up — or maybe coming out of the trance.

As the sign in the guitar store says: “No Stairway to Heaven.”
Love it! Well said. Required reading. Thanks, Mary.

Wow. So much to love and hate here. Thank you for clarity and motivation.
Putin pulls the strings and the Puppet dances!

Ditto
This also sheds light on how Trump was able to win in 2024. Conspiracies do exist, especially when this man wins every battleground state.

A BIG YES to everything you said. Thank you.
This is a terrific piece!
POWERFUL ARTICLE, keep spreading it around, beautifully written.
