Be careful out there. The threat of violence continues to escalate, as we always feared it would. And Trump’s indictment (gift link) is going to ramp up their fear and anger to a ever-more-fevered pitch. ‘We Need to Start Killing’: Trump’s Far-Right Supporters Are Threatening Civil War Within minutes of Trump’s indictment, supporters lit up social media platforms with violent threats and calls for civil war. In what is becoming a now all-too-familiar trend, former President Donald Trump’s far-right supporters have threatened civil war after news broke Thursday that the former president was indicted for allegedly taking classified documents from … Continue reading →

"There is nowhere I feel safe. Nowhere. Do you know how it feels to have the president of the US target you? … He targeted me, Lady Ruby, a small business owner, a mother, a proud American citizen, who stood up to help Fulton County run an election in the middle of a pandemic" pic.twitter.com/PeJcdw3J59 — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) June 21, 2022

But my own feelings are much closer to those expressed in this blog post by The Rude Pundit. Why We’re So Fucking Angry at the Unvaccinated …We’re furious. We’re furious at adults who made adult decisions that fucked it all up. We’re furious that, after all the shit they’ve done to fuck up this country by voting for Trump, they won’t … Continue reading →

Alabama doctor on treating unvaccinated, dying COVID patients …“I’m admitting young healthy people to the hospital with very serious COVID infections,” wrote Cobia, a hospitalist at Grandview Medical Center in Birmingham, in an emotional Facebook post Sunday. “One of the last things they do before they’re intubated is beg me for the vaccine. I hold their hand and tell them that I’m sorry, but it’s too late.” …“[The families] cry. And they tell me they didn’t know. They thought it was a hoax. They thought it was political.

What the holy hell is going on here? Militarized Federal Agents from a patchwork of outside agencies have begun policing Portland (in rented minivans vans) without the explicit approval of the mayor, the state, or local municipalities.
