If you think it can’t happen here, remember that it already did. In 1942 soldiers came with rifles to our home and ordered us out. They put us in internment camps. Most of us were citizens.

Trump eliminated the team that investigated crypto fraud and crimes, and fired the ethics watchdog that oversaw conflicts of interest within the executive branch. Seems like necessary context.

BREAKING: A federal court has ordered the release of Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia student detained as punishment for his advocacy for Palestinian human rights. Mahmoud spent over 3 months in ICE detention, during which time he missed the birth of his first child and his own graduation.

It was always a crystal clear 100% certainty that if the orange convicted felon was sent back into the White House instead of being sent to prison that he would bring the United States into war, economic collapse and total chaos. This is on everyone who voted for him.

I will never again see an ICE agent without assuming they're from Proud Boys or Oath Keepers, a pardoned Jan 6 rioter or a member of the KKK.

Likely, the United States Government won't go to war with Iran. It's too busy going to war with the United States.

submitted 4 days ago • 157 comments

We should remember: That Iran is going for the nuke is becasue Donald Trump feels so emasculated by Barack Obama, that he ripped up his nuclear deal with Iran and called it narcissistically a "bad deal". He replaced it with nothing. That's why this is happening now. It's Trump's fault.

I cannot express this enough: If and when the tide turns away from fascism, you cannot mistake a ceasefire for peace. They never, ever want peace. You must persecute those responsible to the ends of the earth. You must make future generations fear a repeat of their fate.

VoteVets' MG (Ret.) Paul Eaton issues a stark rebuke of Trump’s birthday parade: “It’s a bad look for the Armed Forces… and for our country before our allies and the world.” Troops aren’t props. This isn’t leadership—it’s authoritarian theater.

This is totally unacceptable. Senator Alex Padilla has been my friend for over 20 years—a decent, honorable public servant and a proud son of the American dream. I stand with him fully as we demand accountability and transparency.

If this is how this administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, and to day laborers throughout California and across the country. We will hold this administration accountable.

They’re cutting funding for Big Bird and Elmo—who millions of kids watch for free every week—while paying people in crypto to sit through a multimillion-dollar parade no one asked for. But somehow that’s not considered waste. washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/tlg/d/wa...

I suppose all this tripe about Biden's age might be important to know, but it belongs on the History Channel. It's not news. You know what's news? The president deploying the military against US citizens. The Billionaire Bailout Bill. DOGE getting access to our private data. THAT is news.

In 2020, when I told people that I was building a pro-democracy media outlet, people thought I was kidding. When I told them it was because the fight for democracy was the fight of our time, they thought I was being overly dramatic. Well...here we are. Please subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

Our Marines are the best lethal fighting force in the world. They generally have not been trained in non-lethal weapons or crowd control. Sending them into a domestic situation against civilians is dangerous and threatens the very apolitical nature of our Armed Forces. - Mike Levin
