A bill banning white-only housing passed the Pennsylvania House, despite not a single Republican supporting the measure, WHTM reports.

The bill would close a loophole in the state that could let white nationalist groups establish communities under the guise of a private club or member-only organization.

Our federal and state governments have been co-opted and infiltrated by people who have NO PLACE in a legitimate American government.

These people are defined by one or more of the following characteristics:

Does the bidding of Trump, no matter how corrupt, criminal, cruel, or destructive to our freedoms, our families, and our futures.

Abuses power to line their own pockets, the pockets of others in their gang, and the pockets of their billionaire backers.

Advances a racist agenda that seeks to reverse decades of social progress and seeks to purge African Americans, Native Americans, Latinos, and other people of color from our history, our civil service, and our elected offices.

Advances a Christian Nationalist agenda. That is, they are committed to passing laws that impose their PERSONAL religious beliefs on Americans who DO NOT SHARE those beliefs. Seeking to pass such laws is both deeply Un-Christian and Un-American.

Is determined to deport as many people of color who have come to this nation from elsewhere as possible, regardless of whether they are naturalized citizens, documented, or undocumented.

We need a label for these people. A shorthand.

The label I use is trumpublicans. My definition of trumpublican clearly distinguishes it from the broader terms MAGA or Republican.

We must draw a red line. Trumpublicans have NO PLACE in a legitimate American government.

Our electeds and candidates must pledge to purge these people from federal and state government.

13. Great post. Your thoughts on a "red line" should be our goal going forward.

15. White, Protestant - and of a far-right persuasion

Far-right, Opus Dei-type Catholics (like Alito) are tolerated - if they're willing to play second fiddle.

All other White folks are very much considered "race traitors" who've (somehow) wronged them and must be dealt with accordingly.

Having grown in Mi'ssippi, a lot of this is a trip down memory lane.

10. Huh? If Republicans don't support this who voted for it then?

[SSJVegeta]

18. The democrats supported banning white only housing

Republicans opposed

2. RepubliKKKlans.

3. Unfortunately, the bill will not pass the Senate as Republicans still have a majority there

7. What has happened to this country??? Did we get teleported to the 1950's??

[paleotn]

9. They never left the 50's. 1850's.

8. If you were wondering....Republican equals racist.

11. It also has provisions relating to sex/gender stuff

"The bill also expands anti-discrimination protections for employment, housing, and public accommodations to a person’s sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity or expression."

(From the abc27.com article linked in the politicalwire.com article.)

It does make me wonder if the bill would pass were it only about "whites-only housing." If so, just divide it into two bills. But why have any bills? Denying housing based on identity seems illegal on its face under federal law. Otherwise, all of the various yahoo identities would just move to whatever state lets them can set up their own Waco Branch Davidian (etc.) compounds and cult communities.

17. (But look who's "enforcing" federal law......)

Yeah, it's illegal, but with fox guarding chicken-coop, naught will be done.

21. Not good. No good at all. Some days I'm glad I'm old.

[perdita9]

12. Thanks for posting this

We live in Pennsylvania and out local media rarely covers stuff like this

[B.See]

14. Just in case

we needed yet another reminder of who and WHAT they are.

19. Jeezus. At least it past.

20. Wow... If Immigration debacle has awakened more and more R Latinos, surely this kind of thing

will do so with those remaining few black R's? I will never understand how any POC, any Asian, or frankly any woman of any race, can vote for these monsters.

[electric_blue68]

22. Well. THAT'S rascist and pathetic!
