“If a party can make himself a judge of the validity of orders which have been issued, and by his own act of disobedience set them aside, then are the courts impotent, and what the Constitution now fittingly calls ‘the judicial power of the United States’ would be a mere mockery.”

You can’t make this shit up. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Please explain it to me like I’m…ya know what, never mind. #fascism #democracy #politics #antifascism #antifascist

A personal note about the @katiephangshow.bsky.social:

Currently appearing at UK bus-stops. More of this pointed ridicule, please.

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.

No democracy movement has ever failed when it was able to mobilize at least 3.5% of the population to protest over a sustained period. With a population of 334.9 million, the U.S. would need to mobilize approximately 11.7 million people to assert democratic power on the government. Let’s go.

I need someone to answer this damn question!

You dumbfucks said Biden wasn’t “really in charge” and then you handed Trump’s presidency to Elon fucking Musk?

“Be careful. When a democracy is sick, fascism comes to its bedside, but it is not to inquire about its health.” Albert Camus

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

Tulsi Gabbard has just been confirmed as the Director of National Intelligence. 😫

Mood.

NEW: The US Treasury claimed DOGE's Marko Elez didn't have the ability to alter code controlling trillions in federal spending when he actually did. w/ @telliotter.bsky.social and @timmarchman.bsky.social:

The cognitive dissonance of getting up every morning and making coffee and walking the dog and going to meetings and answering emails and wondering what to make for dinner while there is a real live actual coup d’etat happening is BONKERS

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

I’m gonna need more Lexapro for this sh*t.

Arrest Musk and his aides. Now.

"The overwhelming support for impeachment shows that the American public is not willing to accept King Trump."

Forced Resignations Are Illegal – 5 CFR § 715.202 states that federal resignations must be voluntary. An email implying "uncertainty of your position" while pushing resignation deadlines could be considered coercion.

Anti-ICE protesters are blocking both sides of the 101 Freeway near the Alameda Street exit in DTLA. The CHP has since closed that portion of the freeway.

Stop purchasing things. If you need to stock up now, do it immediately before Tuesday. It's time to make a stand with your wallets and purses. If you want to impose tariffs and hurt Americans, we can do something about it. This month is "F" you February. Stop purchasing goods immediately.

Homan went on CNN to complain that ICE’s attempts to arrest Chicagoans has been hampered by the people’s knowledge of policy—largely because of the city’s “Know Your Rights” campaign. Fascists rely on your compliance. On your ignorance. They depend upon your fear. Disappoint them.

Trump just released an EO banning care for trans kids. JFC

JFC Trump just purported to ban gender affirming care for minors based on the garbage science of WPATH, rejecting the conclusions of every major medical org in America as "junk science." I think my heart is going to explode

i think the executive orders directing agencies to end energy efficiency regulations and open up more land to drilling and mining is so indicative of the character of the american right — in its view everything, whether people or our larger environment, is something to be exploited and dominated

Hell is empty and all the devils are here.

“Cowardice asks the question, ‘Is it safe?’ Expediency asks the question, ‘Is it politic?’ But conscience asks the question, ‘Is it right?’ And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but because conscience tells one it is right.” MLK Jr

Hell is empty, And all the devils are here.

As the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wisely said, "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." Today and every day, I pledge to never silence my voice in the fight for what is right, and I will continue to march in the path he forged toward justice.

I don’t know what tomorrow brings, but I know it’s not good. The US we have known may very well be at an end as we cross from democracy into dictatorship. Please remember who you are, your values, what’s real and what/who truly matters to you. Live your life in a way of which you can be proud.

My daughter isn’t cool with TikTok right now. I asked her what she thought. She’s aware that they coordinated with Trump. She & her friends are talking about deleting. “They took away one of my favorite things and brought it back, giving Trump credit. He’s a narcissist, not a hero! I hate it.”

You know that scene in Harry Potter after Snape kills Dumbledore, then he, Bellatrix and the other death eaters take over Hogwarts…that’s what tomorrow feels like.

If only there had been this many tears and anger over the very real possibility of women, the LGBTQ community and people of color losing their rights than over TikTok being banned. It’s just so depressing.

Not sure who needs to hear this, but State run media is bad. The authoritarian strategy seeks to influence: regime coalition elites; the populace; Internet users; the opposition and civil society. It is designed to spread disinfo, obstruct news about sensitive issues from reaching key groups.

As I’ve predicted every day for the last two weeks. A prearranged scam between Trump and the CCP to deceive the American people, enrich himself, and fool users. And it will work because there are plenty of rubes & suckers in this country and Trump has had their number for years.

Things are too urgent now for this to make any real difference, but I am glad he said it.

JUST IN: Another team of Mexican firefighters has landed in LA to help combat the wildfires. Thank you, Mexico 🇲🇽🇺🇸
