@Tilopa A knife.Two people, not the entire bus (or all the women or POC on the bus).Injured, not dead.And people thereabouts find it horrific and outrageous, instead of “ho-hum, another Monday.”I can’t tell you how wistful this makes me feel as an American.

@Livingmarble In the #US , a lot of that is driven by the fact that anti-maskers simply do not want to admit that #Trump ’s incompetence and contempt for their safety—holding huge political rallies all through 2020; spreading ridiculous lies about ivermectin, etc—led to a million American deaths.IOW, if they wear masks, they’re admitting that Biden was right.#USPolitics#DarwinAwards #Covid

@stux One of the strongest, most pervasive delusions of the Right is: they believe they magically understand business, management, or economics better than the left-of-center majority.Textbook example of the Dunning-Kruger phenomenon.Musk’s incompetent handling of #Twitter shows how rightwingers REALLY manage.(Another example: the relative poverty of Republican-run states in the US—economically flatlined except for their blue cities.Also: #Brexit.)

@Tilopa I agree with her.Just not with her opinion of which side she’s on.

@Tilopa @tdwllms1 Trumpers fell for the political equivalent of a Three-Card Monte game.Except in IRL Three-Card Monte, most suckers eventually sharpen up enough to realize they were conned.Trumpers never do.(The one good thing #Trump did was mark fools who sensible people should avoid.I don’t care that their opinions differ from mine.I care that they’re bigoted, irresponsible, willfully ignorant, anti-American, and have massive entitlement issues.)#US#USPolitics

@charlotteclymer ALL Christians should be warned off those people!Churches can provide a sense of community, so congregants often think everyone who believes as they do is trustworthy. But that’s so easy to fake—leaving these folks vulnerable to cons.You’d think pastors would warn their people against anyone who pours it on too thick.Instead, they do the opposite. Evangelicals, especially, are like a game farm for grifters.

@amydiehl For that matter, women throughout the South had been coming to FL for abortions—which required that they spend money IN FLORIDA for medical services, plus lodging, food, maybe some R&R. Now that tourism is gone too. #USPolitics#Abortion

@colo_lee @pivoinebleue Dear god, can you imagine?I’m grateful he was voted out for so many reasons. That he was unable to humiliate our country by trying to make the #coronation (AND the late queen’s funeral) all about himself is one of them.#USPolitics#Trump

@seldear @TonyStark @MariaHill I don’t disagree—misogyny fairly dripped off “progressive” Bernie bros.However, another Democratic own-goal in 2016 was voter turnout.Historically, we’ve sucked at it.But yesterday?We didn’t just win in JAX and CO Springs.We won them in AN OFF-YEAR ELECTION IN MAY.A *huge* change in Democratic voting habits.#USPolitics

@brendannyhan Democrats got 41% of the vote last November, when McMasters was elected.IOW, McMasters essentially announced that his primary aim as governor is to use his office and South Carolinians’ tax dollars to screw over 41% of his own state’s citizens.SC Dems should spend the next three and a half years making that point clear to every voter in the state.#USPolitics

@maddad @DemocracyMattersALot FYI for non-US Mastadonians: 120F = 49C (Abbott has also made a point of trying to bar, harass and/or remove every undocumented worker out of his state.I.e., the folks who had been filling the overwhelming majority of construction jobs in #Texas.I can’t even guess how he expects this to play out.Meanwhile, it’s been three or four years now, and he and the #GOP TX lege haven’t even STARTED to fix the power grid.)#USPolitics

@EeeeWooo What blows MY mind is how many of those federal employees, vets, current service members, et al. either cannot wrap their heads around how serious this breach is, or simply don’t care.So much for the “patriotism” of the #MAGA right.#USPolitics

@DeanObeidallah “…why does the GOP overwhelmingly support Trump…?”Because they’ve spent the last 7 years hounding everyone who wasn’t a Trumper out of their party.It’s not just that #Republicans can’t win elections anymore without gerrymandering, voter-ID scams, outright cheating, etc.……they also can’t even win votes from their own #GOP base without sucking up to #Trump.It’s a sad end for the Party of Lincoln.#USPol#USPolitics#TrumpIndictment

@stux Not just that.I live in #NYC. This is an American city, governed under #US laws, and any American can come here to visit or to reside. We have our share of criminals, and more than our share of nutcases.But it’s the safest big city in the #USA. That’s ENTIRELY because pretty much the only ones here with #firearms are #cops.That’s the only major relevant difference between NYC and other US cities.That’s the power of strong #GunControl laws. #USPol#USPolitics

Honestly, I’m relieved.No joke, I thought #Trump would have #Zelenskyy killed [1].So I suppose having Trump scream at him like a drunken fishwife while simultaneously embarrassing our country, betraying our allies, and spitting on common decency is a step up.___[1] Trump enjoys having people killed. It’s why Biden commuted everyone on federal death row before he left.#SlavaUkraini #USPol

@stux You should see it from this angle. All our national values abandoned. National treasures and invaluable assets either destroyed outright or run by the dumbest people in the country. The institutions we expect to protect us knuckling under. It’s as if France decided to plow up all its vineyards to put up Bud Light factories.(Worst part: We can’t simply vote these scumbags out. They won’t leave without bloodshed.)#USPol#Trump #Musk #Fascism
