A serious study from a Harvard University political scientist presents a statistic worth remembering: Around the world, once 3.5% of the population became engaged in sustained, non-violent campaigns of resistance, change has always happened. Democracy is inevitable, when the people are determined.

Everyone I knew who covered disinformation got laid off, their bosses got bullied into firing them, or they changed their beats from actual Nazi harassment campaigns. It cannot be stressed the damage the paid-for Substack “free speech” guys did in the service of fascism and against real free speech.

"The underlying point isn’t to chastise the firms for making the wrong decision; it’s to remind those firms that it’s not too late to reverse course and join the ranks of the firms resisting Trump’s gambit..." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

This troubles me at least as much as anything else I've seen today, and much more than most. We are in deeper than the media admits. Don't ignore what your senses and rational thoughts point to. Some things...you don't have to be told.

Yes, Biden was old, but not once during his presidency did I worry about being rounded up and deported while carrying my real ID. I will take Joe Biden, an American patriot who needs a nap, over Trump, an American fascist. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #MomSky

Hayes: Every provision in this program is cruel and they know it. That's why none of them spoke on it in committee. That's why they have no response. That's why they don't hold town halls. That's why they don't answer questions. All they do is tweet, repeat, and hide in the back until they vote yes

So if you suddenly try to break into Congress to murder the VP you've supported for 4 years because he won't break the law and the police shoot you, your family gets 5 million dollars? Do I have that right, humans?

The media who doomed us to fascism with their irresponsible coverage during the last election, are ignoring the current president’s cognitive decline/sociopathy so they can focus on the supposed past deficiencies of President Biden, one of the most successful we’ve ever had. It’s disgusting.

I am often critical of legacy media, but we all owe a debt of gratitude to the 60 Minutes team, Bill Owens and now Wendy McMahon for standing up for what is right while CBS's owner prepares for total surrender and capitulation. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/19/b...

So we’re letting family members of the Cartel into our country while shipping American citizens out of the country - without due process. So on brand for Trump.

Sen. Dick Durbin is asking Attorney General Bondi how she came to the conclusion that the Qatari gift of a $400 million jet to Trump would be "legally permissible." Durbin asks Bondi if she recused herself from the matter because she previously worked as a lobbyist for Qatar.

Good morning Europe, here is what you missed: Trump and Netanyahu are now mad at each other and Bibi is calling for Israel to “detox” from US security agreements, Qatar bribed Trump with a $400M luxury plane, Russia is still bombing Ukraine and playing “negotiations” games, the Pope backed Ukraine.
