JD Vance is making the argument that no price is too high to convert the US into a White ethnostate, so we should all just shut up and let them shred our healthcare and defund our schools. He'd rather America be poor and White than prosperous and multicultural.

A fascist government doesn't need to worry about low polling numbers if it can scare people enough to keep them from protesting. #resistFascism

This is a Getty image taken from an NBC news story on ICE raids. They are turning American streets into war zones. Tell your local politicians that local police should act to protect against this kind of tyranny. #resistFascism

I've been seeing chatter about the possibility that the guy who allegedly assassinated firefighters in Idaho is MAGA-adjacent. 2 big points to make: 1. Shooting firefighters is not a political act; it is terrorism. 2. Idaho is Trump country; the victims here are also probably Trump supporters. 1/2

The Trump administration - from top to bottom - is dedicated to the con. They see every American voter as a mark to exploit (and the Roberts Court keeps paving the way for them to keep steamrolling legal constraints).

The headline is horrible. It obfuscates the horror of the story: Trump has released a convicted human trafficker onto American streets in a desperate bid to tarnish the public image of the innocent man he sent to CECOT. This is unjust from every possible angle. #resistFascism

Every time one of these insane stories gets reported I have the same 3 thoughts: 1. Data tells us that gun controls prevent this kind of thing. 2. Data tells us that mental health supports prevent this kind of thing. 3. We know how to prevent the deaths, but refuse to do the work.

Hegseth thinks the Army has too many Black soldiers. Note that this new policy does not require Special Forces to meet shaving requirements. It's not about warfighting. It's about White supremacy.

It is becoming increasingly clear that the Roberts Court believes that the Bill of Rights in the Constitution is an outdated set of recommendations, not the law of the land. #resistFascism

Once again, Microsoft's user experience misses the mark. The background color wasn't the problem with the BSOD; the problem was that they were collecting error info but never providing any solutions or guidance to prevent recurrence.

So we can afford this to punch Iran in the nose but we can't afford Medicare or Medicaid any more? How does this put America first? We need affordable healthcare, yet they only know how to provide death and destruction. #resistFascism

It is interesting to see people conclude that there is supposed to be something inherently troubling about a socialist Muslim winning a mayoral election in NYC. If his victory bugs you but Trump's fascist takeover of the USG doesn't, I'm not sure what to say to you.
