It’s easy to dismiss MAGA for any number of reasons. However, to defeat an opponent, it’s important to understand them. MAGA is like a drug. We’re the cure. open.substack.com/pub/sharadsr...

“MAGA leaders want to get rid of laws that make it harder for them to monopolize the nation’s wealth and power and are using racism to get voters to support them.” The Supreme Court is aiding and abetting. We will have to rise up.

This. "Only if we focus on ripping out the MAGA menace root and branch will we spare ourselves of the horrors that Europeans have experienced over millennia."

NEW VIDEO: In January I warned you that we would see the use of criminal prosecutions to weaponize the Department of Justice against Trump's political opponents. Those have now begun. Watch and share. www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_dV...

"I am a mortal enemy to arbitrary government and unlimited power. I am naturally very jealous for the rights and liberties of my country; and the least appearance of an encroachment on those invaluable privileges is apt to make my blood boil exceedingly." ~Benjamin Franklin

#Felon47 Republicans obviously did not pay much attention to history. Even recent history. Collaboration or acquiescence does not work with a fascist regime. As recently as January 6th 2021, the MAGA extremists built a gallows and were calling for Felon47's VP to be hung. Fair warning...

Just a reminder that the "Fox News Channel" is just a name— it does not describe an actual news channel. The FNC's own description of its services is here, from its terms of use:

There is no negotiating with fascists.

"So with the current Big, Beautiful Bill, we are looking at a massive transfer of wealth from ordinary Americans to those at the top of American society." The Oligarchy grows almost impenetrably more powerful...unless we all do something. There are a lot more of us than the billionaire class.

Appalling stupid.

We will prevail.

This. Morally repugnant.

MAGA and Felon47 are continuing to follow the Russian playbook for narrative warfare. We all need to stay super focused on the real fight for democracy and against fascism.

It’s later than we think.

“DHS flagging and detaining one of the U.S.’s largest left-wing voices for their political opinions while the Trump admin suggests they might suspend habeas corpus does not portend well for the future,” said lawyer and content creator Alex Peter. Fascism is here.

‘The courts are holding, Judge Luttig writes, and will continue to hold, but Trump “will continue his assault on America, its democracy, and rule of law until the American people finally rise up and say, “No more.” And rising up they are.’ Keep it up!

I think this sums where I am pretty well.

Yup. That’s the one.

Just a reminder, this is one of the many MAGA propaganda machines that’s supporting a fascist government. And they were hit with a $787M judgement. But it wasn’t enough.

MAGA has signaled their intent to suspend the writ of habeas corpus, essentially declaring martial law. If you haven't done this already, you should be thinking about what you will need to do to prepare. Until the courts empower an enforcement mechanism, it's a reality no one should ignore.

Tear off the masks when they show up. Take their photos. Get them on video. Expose them. Out them. Name them. They need to be made into pariahs where decent people gather. We cannot allow them to terrorize us. Eyes open. Phones on.

NEW: Trump administration arrests Newark mayor

Only someone as incompetent as Hegseth would brag about ending a program that Trump signed into law and falsely claim it’s a "woke" Biden initiative. Every combatant commander—including Trump's current Joint Chiefs Chairman—agrees this program makes us more lethal. Smh.
