There's going to be news about a woman illegally detained and being forcely removed from a Coeur d'Alene Idaho Town Hall meeting taking place at the high school by men that would not identify themselves wearing plain clothes because she opposed the republican viewpoints. youtube.com/shorts/hhJdH...

These are brown shirts, and this is Nazi behavior. We are not in a fight between right and left anymore. This is a fight between Americans and those who would bend the knee to a king. If you care about the soul of this country, we have to stand for each other.

Thousands of people marched in DC in solidarity with Ukraine and against impunity by oligarchs like Trump and Putin. They gathered outside the Russian embassy. #3E #EndOligarchy #EndImpunity #USprotests #DCprotests #StandWithUkraine

DOGE isn't saving us money. DOGE is forcing us to DIY society--to manage all the costs, risks, and problems that government is best poised to solve.

Anyone justifying national Democrats' current strategy to you is committing massive, possibly world historic political malpractice, including the elected officials themselves.

The Trump crime family is doing so many things that will inevitably lead to mass murder. It’s just a matter of time now.

They break the law on purpose—not out of necessity, but to prove they can. It’s a stress test, a spectacle, a lesson in power: the law only applies if it is enforced. And when it isn’t, it ceases to exist. This is how oligarchy is installed—not in secret, but in plain sight, daring you to stop it.

Brilliant but devastating editorial in the Financial Times. “In the past 10 days, he [Trump] has all but incinerated 80 years of postwar American leadership. If you are not at the table, you are on the menu. America has turned.”

Elon, I hate to break it to you but you aren’t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota. But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies

Good for these federal workers, concerned about the sabotage of a functioning, safe park, for us and for nature. www.sfchronicle.com/outdoors/art...

NEW: The Trump/Musk blitzkrieg aims to destroy government to advance oligarchy & autocracy—and to crush the Democrats & the progressive agenda. It's an existential crisis. Yet so many Dems are missing in action. In my OUR LAND newsletter, I ask, WTF? Pls share. link.motherjones.com/public/38721...

The Democratic Party has been complicit in the Trump/Musk attack on America and until they start doing their jobs and fucking fight back against all of it they will rightly suffer the consequences.

Even MAGA had to think it’s pretty weird that their big strongman with Rocky’s photoshopped body sat in a fugue state as a four year old told him to shut up.

In tonight's military purge, Tump nominated Dan Caine for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, a retired Lt. General so underqualified he'd need a waiver. Even odder: Caine was installed last month at 3 VC firms doing crypto, AI, and defense tech, including Thrive, founded by Jared Kushner's brother. 1/

In 2010, the Supreme Court paved the way for unlimited spending in U.S. elections. In a possibly related story, the richest man in the world is basically the president now ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries compares the party's challenge to baseball and says "don't swing at every pitch." But it's more like a hockey game where the other team is checking hard, and the refs aren't calling anything. So listen to Gretzky: "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take."

Is now the right time to be "rude" to power? Yes.

in terms of professions that do indeed owe you something, politician is actually one of the big ones

If Trump was the guy who took over for FDR, he would have had the US join the Axis

This is a concentration camp. They are describing a concentration camp.

Share this far and wide to the 4 corners of the country. The WaPo does not have the balls to do it.

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

The people have the power here. They just need one (1) leader or organization to light the spark. www.offmessage.net/p/run-eric-a...

Trump gets the most generous coverage of any American of my lifetime and there’s no close second.

this isn't hard! if people ask you why you aren't voting for anything or anyone you say "they are breaking the law" and enumerate the many ways in which they are breaking the law and make a big stink about how you are standing up for the integrity of the United States do basic politics, cowards

Leaders themselves probably too, but at the very least, the people who constantly advise them “heads down, powder dry, wait for the survey results” have to go. www.offmessage.net/p/out-with-t...

“sacrificing the rule of law to government efficiency is a good way to end up with neither.” www.ft.com/content/f766...

It started in Silicon Valley as a fringe idea: an inefficient democracy needs to die - replaced by a "red Caesar" dictatorship that would fire federal employees and govern with the latest tech Thiel, Musk and Trump are making this dystopia a reality. My new column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

I mean, how hard is it for Dems to do this? What else are they doing? For fucks sake!! Low hanging fruit!!!

You know I can’t remember even once hearing a Republican member of Congress when they were in the minority say “we can’t do anything…we aren’t the majority!” Not one damn time.

If you’re wondering if you’re in a constitutional crisis and that the republic could collapse at any moment, you are.

This man is criminally insane.
