Take a walk through U.S. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers ’ tweets and you’ll find complaint after complaint about the price of gas. Congresswoman McMorris Rodgers, Republican of Washington, is the ranking member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee but opposes legislation to stop oil and gas companies from price gougingconsumers.
Your move, democrats. Go on the attack for once and don’t let up.

I cannot imagine that moving is an easy choice in that situation, but personal safety comes first. Could these takeover attempts continue if their funding was cut off? Will these communities function if most businesses leave? There were many groups in US history which tried to set up their own separate utopian society, but they failed because of power struggles, resources, imbalance (the toxic masculinity crowd outnumbers the women), and incompetence (successful governing and leadership involve thought and hard work). Worst case scenario might not be that they succeed, but that they break everything and drive away the people who could fix it. There’s only so many times rational people will clean up after another group’s meltdown, because it’s a thankless task.

Unfortunately, this is just a start. I fear a civil war - which they clearly desire - is increasingly likely.

Boise has become too big to just roll over for the fascists. Even the Libertarian Utopia Republicans who started tech businesses there see what’s coming if the militia nutjobs run the state. I could see a violent conflict in Idaho, but it won’t be right against left, it will be right against off-the-right-side-of-the-scale.
Meanwhile, Oregon and Washington are setting up abortion clinics near the Idaho border for reproductive rights refugees.

I’m glad they are. But “reproductive rights refugees” is a reality I never imagined

She pointed to a Rolling Stone headline that read, “The Buffalo Shooter Isn’t A ‘Lone Wolf.’ He’s A Mainstream Republican.” The article explained how the accused killer embraced “the great replacement theory” that has become more common among conservatives (including Tucker Carlson at Fox News and top House Republican Elise Stefanik) and took the propaganda to its violently “logical conclusion.”
“The gonzo journalists at Rolling Stone say no, no, no, no, no, there are accomplices here: The Republicans,” Ingraham said indignantly. “It’s so weak, I don’t even want to talk about it tonight because it’s so predictable. It’s so lame, because the real accomplices are in the media. The media that are propping up an administration that has brought this country to its knees with policies making American families poorer every single day. And they’ve tried this tack so many times.”

Kudos to them for setting up the clinics, but I hope they have a lot of security otherwise the Idaho taliban and their sympathizers will definitely make things violent… I also fear a civil war breaking out in that way.

I won’t be so crass as to actually do it but I know for a fact that it would be easy to find pictures of nazi soldiers posing with cute cats as well.

I knew the fascists would cling to Malthusian nonsense. it’s a perfect excuse to mask their murderous intent. “Oh we don’t wanna kill people, we just want to get rid of the ‘useless eaters.’” – some rando fashie somewhere

We’ve been seeing them clothed in progressive clothing in the environmental movement for quite a while now.
