They'll never "f'n get it" because there's still an unhealthy portion of our population who feel it's needed. The Trump administration never mentioned Robin Rhodes' attack on a Muslim woman at JFK in 2017, because it's what the campaign promised: vigilante justice. The trick? Making it a reality.

It's Charlie Chaplin's birthday. He's celebrated for his great film work, while his known and proven pedophiliac tendencies are dismissed as "an artist's whim." Go ahead and tryto tell me that our culture wasn't laying the ethical groundwork for Donald J. Trump 100 years ago.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

Harvard was here before the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, WW 1, and WW2. It was here before the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. It’s lasted through countless recessions and 46 presidencies. Harvard will be here when the eternal footman holds Trump’s coat and snickers.

We can’t afford silence right now. Share this post. Talk about it in your group chats, your circles, your Sunday brunch, your book club, your kid’s soccer sideline. We don’t need permission to sound the alarm—we just need each other to hear it.

The real leaders are the incredible grassroots organizers who continue to make history with their efforts, which grow stronger by the day. We’re honored to play whatever role we can in uplifting these movements—even if corporate media chooses to ignore what's really happening on the ground.

Cohen: Take MeidasTouch Network. They’re beating Joe Rogan, they’re beating Fox, they’re beating the lame stream news. So when there’s a march, all you have to do is contact the Meiselas brothers — next thing you know, you’ve got ten million people showing up. That’s an army.

It might be the energy we need, but... kinda makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Anyone remember Jonestown and the airfield in Guyana? I fear for their safety, particularly since Trump wouldn't mind getting them out of the way. Or maybe that's the plan.

I don't shy away from making posts on social media--I'm not financially nor locationally able to protest otherwise--but I have grown very cautious now about leaving anything anti-Trump on my computer or smartphone or hard drives / flash drives. Government is calling these "domestic terrorism." 1/4

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

We knew exactly what this administration was going to do because it was written in Project 2025. Folks can be surprised at how quickly it has moved, but no one can act like they didn't know.

It's no different than the refusal to vaccinate, mask up and social distance was, when COVID first appeared. We, as a population, whined and bitched and complained and downplayed and lied to ourselves... because most of us grew up without knowing the deadly seriousness of viruses on our population.
