Okay, this has gone on for long enough. In less than 60 seconds I break down why we MUST remove this administration. Pass it on. Someone has to say it.

A dictatorship that kills people from democracies if they say something inconvenient hosting another dictatorship that does the same and a country run by a wannabe dictator who wants people jailed for saying anything inconvenient gathered to decide the fate of a democracy that wasn’t even invited?

Folks, we need to talk: We have very few choices if the government officially falls. None are great. Nonviolent movements won’t work in a country ran by a totalitarian government. Thomas Jefferson once mused about the “Tree of Liberty”. Well, that tree is thirsty. Let’s go to work.

One half of America has given this administration a wholesale pass to essentially deconstruct our federal government. The other half want democracy to prevail. No one is going to be meeting in the middle, either. Therefore, for the very survival of us all, we need a dissolution of the union.

BREAKING: Philadelphia workers have won the first Whole Foods union under Amazon with UFCW. Since Amazon bought the chain, workers have lost benefits and felt the squeeze. Now they're fighting back against the multi-trillion dollar giant and hoping this win will be the first of many.

Trump is strategically blitzing us with a flood of destructive actions and gleeful abuse. The point is to pummel us into submission. We can’t afford to ignore it but we also have to take care of ourselves, otherwise we can’t fight back. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/theyre-try...

The new administration is completely unqualified and fits their own description of what they think is a “DEI hire“.

Random thought: If the Trump administration is “declassifying” the assassinations of JFK and RFK - what is stopping them from releasing propaganda that says the liberals did it? Are there any safeguards against this?

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯
