What timeline is this?! Here to be informed and trying not to lose my mind. (I want to be nice, but F*** Trump, Musk, etc., ad nauseum, ad infinitum). I know, I vent and rant too much...I'm angry right now.

Much of Rufo's power depends upon mainstream media presenting him as a key voice on education, and then incorporating his views into their coverage. Feel like they should disclose to their readers he is all-in on an authoritarian government using secret police to disappear ppl who disagree w him.

This scenario is precisely why the Founders created the Article I branch and gave them the power of impeachment and removal

We're endangering the future of the richest and most powerful country in the history of humanity. For nothing. Over nothing.

@cnn.com maybe try reporting real news? Here's an idea for you...

Every day the authoritarianism grows worse - Christopher Rufo calling for the Trump administration to "dispatch unmarked vans to follow key agitators and snatch them from the streets while the media are not looking" christopherrufo.com/p/trump-shou...

Not only are they arresting people illegally…they’re PROFITING from it & loving the $$. Nearly 90% of those held by ICE are in FOR-PROFIT prisons. They want to expand to fill the projected need. @stephruhle.bsky.social w/ the Marshall Project’s Shannon Heffernan. www.msnbc.com/11th-hour/wa...

The Speaker of the House just said that the Governor of California should be “tarred and feathered.” This is where we are now folks.

Boston’s Mayor Michelle Wu, responds to a question by GOP Rep. Paul Gosar, about whether Democratic mayors will follow SB1070 which prohibits them from not cooperating with ICE and Homeland Security. “If you want to make us safe, pass gun reform. Stop cutting Medicaid…”

I am BEGGING working class people in NYC to NOT RANK THIS MAN. He will be a disaster for anyone in this city who is not rich. Open your eyes.

CNN: Section 12406 says 'orders for these purposes shall be issued through the governors of the states.' Were these orders issued through Gov. Gavin Newsom? DHS OFFICIAL TRICIA McLAUGHLIN: They are issued by the president of the United States

Deport trump and all his Anchor babies 🇨🇺🇲🇽🇻🇪🇵🇷🇭🇳🇬🇹🇨🇷🇧🇷🇨🇱🇵🇦🇺🇾🇳🇮🇧🇴🇵🇪🇨🇴🇬🇶🇵🇾🇸🇷🇬🇫🇫🇰🇬🇸

And yet Comey gets investigated for seashells.

The media has repeatedly and disproportionately elevated voices who were wrong on Iraq, wrong on 2016, and wrong on pointing to the authoritarianism of this moment. Anyone wondering where the trust went might want to consider doing things differently and trying new voices/perspctives in the future.

At least they did not zip tie him, per this report, but what is the difference between being arrested and being detained? Police seem like bullies with hard-ons for dominance.

Maybe they arrested him because he wasn't lying about protestors like Erin? /s

MADDOW: “What is this country going to allow him to do? This is an attempted authoritarian overthrow of the 🇺🇸 Constitution and Government… imposition of a dictatorial regime. The strength of the movement against him is what will determine our fate as a country.”

my TV now plays an unskippable unmuted ad for a bank upon turning it on? kill smart tvs

we were in some business planning stages in actually producing these until the Republican tariffs kicked in

📌NOTE: The same complicit corporate media that refused to call Trump a liar in his first term, is now refusing to label what we are seeing with our own eyes in L.A., fascism.
