If you have not read what Donald Trump’s former National Security Advisor (Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster) has said about his former boss, you need to listen to this man: “The attack on the US Capitol stained our image, and it will take a long-term effort to restore what Donald Trump, his enablers, and those they encouraged took from us that day.”

This is just one of the many quotes from his new book which should be enough to make anyone understand that voting for this maniac to get back into the White House is the most unpatriotic thing that you can do. MAGA is the exact opposite of Making America Great Again.

Listen up.

We knew this was coming but it's really, really fucking bad. We're in the endgame now.

For all of you who are somehow still on the fence about voting for Biden, the Supreme Court, including THREE JUDGES HE APPOINTED, just gave Trump a nearly blank fucking check.

And if he's elected in November, he's going to appoint another two people to SCOTUS to replace conveniently retiring Thomas and Alito, and maybe another if Sotomayor's health continues to decline. That's five or six ultraconservative justices in their 50s who will be on the Court for the next thirty to forty years. DECADES of ultraconservative decisions.

------

"The U.S. Supreme Court, in a 6-3 decision along ideological lines, ruled that a former president has absolute immunity for his core constitutional powers — and is entitled to a presumption of immunity for his official acts, but lacks immunity for unofficial acts. But at the same time, the court sent the case back to the trial judge to determine which, if any of Trump's actions, were part of his official duties and thus were protected from prosecution.

That part of the court’s decision likely ensures that the case against Trump won’t be tried before the election, and then only if he is not reelected.

If he is reelected, Trump could order the Justice Department to drop the charges against him, or he might try to pardon himself in the two pending federal cases.

[ . . .]

Monday's Supreme Court decision came months after the court agreed to hear the case Feb. 28 and scheduled arguments for two months later. Court critics have noted that the justices could have considered the case as early as in December, when Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith unsuccessfully sought review of the same questions later put forward by Trump."

-----

IF WE DO NOT ELECT BIDEN, THIS COULD SERIOUSLY BE THE END OF DEMOCRACY IN THE UNITED STATES.

Biden is a decent, imperfect man. He's chosen a really spectacular, diverse, qualified team of people surrounding him, including

VP Kamala Harris, Black Asian woman, smart as hell, fiercely pro choice

Transportation Pete Buttigieg, gay father, working on safety, infrastructure, airline compensation when airlines fuck us, and healing neighborhoods slashed by racist highway plans decades ago

Interior Deb Halaand, the first native person to head the department which has relations with indigenous peoples and has massively invested in indigenous communities and protecting the environment

Energy Jennifer Granholm, who is working hard to help green our energy grid and funding billions in carbon capture and renewable energy sources

And on the other side is 34 TIME CONVICTED FELON and his shady ass corrupt cabinet of family members, cronies, and criminals.

How is this even a question?!?!

For the love of fuck if you are an United States Citizen, fucking vote.

Any vote against Trump is a win in my book at this point, and if that bitch wins it will have catastrophic effects on LGBTQ+ lives.

Vote for the sake of trans rights, of queer liberation, of the right to fucking be yourself in a country that calls itself the land of the free.

Trans lives depend on you.

"Why Is It Always Children And Not Elderly Or Homeless?"

Why is it that every time we see someone doing meaningful community outreach, like trans people reading books to kids, the knee-jerk reaction of some folks is to clutch their pearls and conjure up the most grotesque, baseless insinuations about "sexual deviancy"? You want to know why people aren’t lining up to read books to nursing home residents or the homeless? Simple: nursing home residents and homeless adults don’t need to be introduced to basic human decency and inclusivity lessons—they’ve already lived their lives with all the prejudices, biases, and social mores they’re going to carry to the grave. Children, on the other hand, are still forming their worldview, and maybe, just maybe, they could benefit from seeing that gender-diverse people exist in the world and can be mentors, caregivers, and guides just as easily as anyone else. This isn’t about some dark, deviant agenda; it’s about building a kinder, more understanding generation that, ideally, won’t grow up to perpetuate the same hateful rhetoric you’re so fond of spouting.

Then there's the redirection tactic of "But why don’t they go help the homeless instead?"—as if the people griping about drag queen story hours are suddenly overcome with a burning passion for solving systemic poverty. Please. Most of the time, these very same people wouldn't lift a finger to help marginalized adults unless they thought it could score them points in some twisted moral competition. This brand of armchair outrage doesn’t come from genuine concern for the homeless; it comes from a narrow, knee-jerk discomfort with seeing trans and queer folks visible in society. It’s the classic “I’m totally okay with the existence of marginalized people—as long as they stay out of sight and don’t interact with my kids.” The irony is rich: the people complaining the loudest about moral decay and deviancy are the ones obsessed with what others are doing with their bodies, projecting their own insecurities and narrow definitions of "normalcy" onto everyone else, while offering no meaningful solutions to the actual problems they claim to care about.

And let’s address the thinly veiled accusation that reading books to kids in an educational setting is somehow a predatory act. This is nothing more than projection, plain and simple. Those spewing these accusations are often the same ones who have internalized a culture that sexualizes and polices everything they don’t understand, reducing every act of goodwill to some perverse ulterior motive. It’s a classic smear tactic: if you can’t actually criticize what someone is doing on the merits, then conjure up the specter of “protecting the children” to justify your own discomfort and ignorance. Never mind that the vast majority of crimes against children statistically come from close family members or trusted adults in traditional community roles (particularly those traditionally most sanctimonious about gender and sex preferences)—let’s conveniently ignore that and demonize the people promoting inclusivity instead, because that’s easier and fits the narrative you’ve been fed.

The reality is, people in marginalized communities engaging in public service, especially around kids, is about as far from “virtue signaling” as it gets. It’s not performative; it’s an act of resilience and generosity that exposes kids to perspectives beyond the narrow, exclusionary views they might otherwise inherit. If you’re so concerned about the moral guidance of children, maybe consider what they’re learning from you: fear of the unknown, contempt for differences, and a complete inability to approach the world with empathy. Maybe, instead of wasting your time policing the identities of people volunteering to make a difference, you should be figuring out how to channel your energies into something actually constructive—like addressing the societal issues driving homelessness or pushing for better elder care. That would be “virtue” worth signaling. But, of course, that wouldn’t give you the satisfaction of othering people who are different from you, now, would it?

We Need To Vote Against Trump.

America will not be a democracy if Trump is reelected. YOUR VOTE MATTERS, VOTE AGAINST TRUMP.

Also, dismantle the electoral college.

Inside the Christian TV show rallying Trump superfans with apocalyptic warnings

This quote would be hilarious, if it weren't also terrifying: “This is the only news show where you hear what Jesus thinks,”

It's scary that they seriously believe Jesus is giving news commentary via proxy...If they manage to get the upper hand politically, this is not a group that has any willingness towards (or even concept of) working across party lines, or governing for everyone - they see it as their way, or straight to hell. No discussion, no compromise.

If you don't want to live in an absolutist theocracy with no personal freedom around your healthcare, sexual/romantic, and reproductive decisions, then it's absolutely critical to get organized and vote against every candidate who aligns with/is supported by this element.

According to CREW, a nonpartisan group, beyond this promise of police immunity (which is already happening as we've seen time and again), Trump has plans to militarize the police against "people experiencing homelessness, 'wag[e] war' on drug dealers, crack down on border crossings and ramp up the use of the death penalty. Many of these plans would represent an unprecedented expansion of presidential power and could lead to a slippery slope of weaponizing the federal government against civilians and infringing their civil liberties."

If you want to sit this election out (and I would encourage that you don't), the least you can do is know what the stakes are.

More lives lost to police violence and yet more vulnerable people like Sonya Massey dead.

Yes, the Democrats aren't perfect, blah blah blah. I'm tired of this one-sided argument. Go yell at a tree, be an adult, and vote on behalf of people who aren't as privileged as you are.

UPDATE: It’s Texas. Naturally.

Things are getting more disturbing at Qult HQ. Look at this chilling bullshit being mailed out to voters.

“Please don’t make us report you to President Trump.”

“Your voting record is public…”

“Your neighbors are watching and will know”

Let’s play the time travel “what if?” game. I am firmly convinced that if a man of Trump’s character and abilities was in the White House in 1941, he would have negotiated the US out of participating in WW2. Caring only for his own security and lust for power, this president would have abolished our constitution, capitulated to the demands of the tyrannical regimes in Germany and Japan and installed himself as dictator for life of what was left of the third world version of the United States.

Insert supernatural set about how partisan unqualified Judge Aileen Cannon in Florida just dismissed the mishandling of classified documents in the Trump case.

What a fucking travesty.

Y'all better vote for Biden in November. If Trump gets reelected, he will have absolutely no consequences for mishandling, misappropriating, stealing, and selling United States secrets and then storing them in his fucking bathroom at the very much not secure maralago, where Victor Orban, fascist authoritarian prime Minister of Hungary and Putin ally, just visited again. See

Elections have consequences so here we fucking are.

"The Superseding Indictment is DISMISSED because Special Counsel Smith’s appointment violates the Appointments Clause of the United States Constitution,” wrote Judge Cannon, who was appointed to the bench by the former president.

Special counsel Jack Smith had contested this argument, and other federal courts had upheld the constitutionality of special counsels."

[ . . . ]

"Her opinion closely tracked the reasoning outlined by conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas in a recent concurrence in a separate case against Trump."

Clarence Thomas, bought and paid for by Harlan Crow, billionaire, and aligned with and married to Ginny Thomas, who participated in January 6 insurrection.

If Trump is reelected, Thomas will retire and Trump will put a younger ultraconservative judge up for SCOTUS. Like Aileen Cannon. And if Democrats lose the Senate majority in November, Mitch McConnell will be Senate majority leader again and he will have the Senate confirm Cannon. And there will be nothing that the Senate Democrats can do about it.

Love that quid pro quo - I'll dismiss the federal case against you for stealing US secrets, which you totally fucking did, and then when you get reelected, put me on the Supreme Court and I'll deliver for you again, just like Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Coney Barrett. And we'll be on the Supreme Court for the next 30+ years. What civil rights shall we destroy next? So much to do!

This is an absolute horror show.

You need to vote blue in November.

You may not like Biden, but you should like his team.

Kamala Harris, Black Asian woman, pro choice and smart as hell.

Pete Buttigieg, gay married father dedicated to our safety in transportation and infrastructure.

Deb Haaland, an indigenous woman leading the department of the interior and actually addressing indigenous needs.

Jennifer Granholm, leading the department of energy and trying to create green jobs and switch us to renewable energy.

Monica Bertagnolli, leading the national institute of health, a surgical oncologist (cancer doctor) who actually believes in science

and hundreds more people. Dedicated, qualified civil servants working for us.

And Biden needs a blue Senate and a blue House to get anything passed, because separation of powers.

You may not like your choices but you have only two: red or blue. One of them will win every single federal election.

Your refusal to vote blue just makes it more likely that red will win. Is that what you want?

[coffeecacao]

Please vote. I hate what Biden has done. But if we get four more years of Trump and Project 2025 turns the country into a right wing dystopia it's on you if you don't vote against Trump.
