You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

In cities like Los Angeles, people are using megaphones to warn each other about ICE, and to remind people of their rights. Neighbors helping neighbors.🥺❤️ It feels like we’re living in an alternate universe right now, and it’s hard to believe this is really happening in North America.💔

On day 53 of America's Trumper Tantrum: Trump said CNN & MSNBC were illegal, political arms of the democrats. While speaking at the DOJ. Nobody laughed. No one objected. President TanTrump: Not just orange, clearly demented. #TanTrump #StopTheCoup #BlueCrew #FightBack #Resist

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

In Nazi Germany, everything Hitler did was legal. Opposing Hitler was illegal. In Russia, opposing Putin is illegal. In China, opposing Xi is illegal. In America, opposing Trump will be illegal soon. I wish more Americans would understand what's happening right now.

This matters. Not because I think Trump is capable of mercy or empathy towards these vulnerable groups. But because it is a public act of defiance. Contrast that with all these other powerful people in this country signaling nothing but appeasement and obedience.

"...Tomorrow, the perpetrator, the prick, the preposterous pick who possesses the pathology of the Antichrist but is preached about as some kind of MAGA Messiah, will be inaugurated as president. Rumor has it he’ll be swearing on a Trump Bible..." you can't make this shit up! 🤷🤦

We need a new word. One that means a combination of an oligarchy, a kleptocracy, and a kakistocracy, because that's what we're going to be living under. I can't think of a word that's adequate. What are we going to call this travesty?

Trump’s cabinet picks, like Pete Hegseth, Linda McMahon, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who have been accused of sexual misconduct or abuse, reflect more than poor judgment. They highlight a broader culture of weaponized masculinity which has clear ties to America’s gun violence epidemic. Thread 🧵 ⤵️
