This is not a drill. If the courts don’t step in, democracy is dead. Trump’s executive order puts independent agencies like the SEC and FTC under White House control, gutting their autonomy. This power grab is just the latest move in his assault on checks and balances.

The U.S. government has reverted trans people's passports to reflect their assigned gender at birth. Some believed Trump was all talk and never expected this to happen—where have they been? The level of naivety is staggering.

Conservatives love to throw around the word histrionic when they want to insult a woman, painting her as excessive, theatrical, and overly emotional to dismiss her reactions—even when they’re completely valid.

Former NFL punter, Chris Kluwe, is a hero, speaking out against MAGA at a Huntington Beach city council meeting. Btw, years ago, I spent some time there and felt deeply uncomfortable—it was overwhelmingly white, conservative, and steeped in evangelical Christianity.

Trudeau was caught on a hot mic saying that Trump’s imperialist threats to absorb Canada are serious and driven by his desire for the country’s resources.

The Trump administration has overseen layoffs at NASA, a direct competitor to SpaceX. Elon Musk’s company will receive more government contracts and subsidies, increasing the burden on taxpayers. One of the many conflicts of interest Musk has at play at DOGE.

Have you seen the anti-red pill (anti-incel) commercials? What do you think?

The wolf isn’t at the door—he’s kicked back in your La-Z-Boy watching Fox & Friends.

Trump wants to spend millions of dollars on anti-drugs ads. Yeah, that worked so well during the Reagan era. 🙄

If Trump shifts education to the states, Red states—already struggling w/ the nation's lowest edu outcomes—will fall further behind. Rural & low-income comm, lacking the tax base to support adequate schooling, face worsening educational disparities, leaving children w/out access to quality edu.

Trump says that social security or medicaid will not be touched unless there is fraud. However, the House and Senate Republicans are trying to completely defund them, so who do you believe?

Democrats are feeble and complicit, rubber-stamping the destruction of our government. They openly admit they have no leverage and refuse to fight. How are we going to bypass Democrats and take a stand against fascism?

1/2 MAGA doesn't give a damn about veterans. The Trump administration has slashed over 10,000 federal jobs—nearly 30% held by veterans. They've gutted the VA, cutting 1,000 positions and eliminating the veteran suicide hotline...

Jon Stewart isn’t the left’s resistance hero—he’s an “enlightened centrist” running cover for fascism. A hard-boiled frog insisting the water’s just fine.

Tadhg Hickey is consistently producing the best comedic commentary on the Palestinian genocide. If you aren't familiar with him, I highly recommend checking out his Youtube channel.

We're not overreacting. JD Vance just traveled to Europe to meet with actual Nazis and then delivered a speech urging the continent to embrace far-right parties. You do realize that, right?

Elon Musk slammed the American public as "parasites" for relying on federal funds—while raking in at least $8 million a day from the government himself. And with his latest budget cuts, he’s likely pocketing even more.

1/2 The public needs to recognize the "flood the zone" tactic employed by the Trump administration. By unleashing an overwhelming volume of information, events, or controversies, they create chaos, making it difficult to focus on real issues or distinguish truth from misinformation...

The billionaire class will thrive when educated, middle-class government workers are laid off, left desperate, and forced into their factories and warehouses for poverty wages—further lining the pockets of the ultra-rich.

A large number of MAGA supporters won’t care about government programs and departments being slashed until it impacts their own lives. Even then, many will still deflect blame, refusing to hold accountable those responsible for their suffering.

1/2 It’s maddening that the US public doesn’t see Elon Musk for what he is—not a selfless watchdog auditing the government, but a billionaire dismantling essential programs. He’s slashing funding for initiatives that support the poor, educate our children, protect consumers from fraud, and more...

The Mexican president, Claudia Sheinbaum, has warned that if the U.S. designates the cartels as terrorist organizations, Mexico will escalate its lawsuit against the U.S. Apparently 74% of cartel weapons are smuggled in from the United States, and Mexico refuses to tolerate foreign intervention.

Europe, stand united with Canada and other allies. Our country has embraced fascism and isolationism, respecting only dictators and strongmen. Don’t let us drag you down with us.

1/2 Fundamentalist Christians believe they have divine authority over the earth, including its animals and environment. This belief fuels their hostility toward efforts to end animal suffering and protect nature...

There is no free speech when the game is rigged.

1/3 My mother is an Englishwoman now living in England who has spent her life all over the world, including the Middle East. She doesn’t scare easily. Yet she just wrote to me in shock, saying what’s happening here is not normal—it looks disturbingly like the early days of Nazi Germany...

1/2 Not a single one of you reading this will see a financial gain from these government cuts. Federal workers will be laid off, and the poor will face even harsher material conditions...

1/2 Just this week, the so-called "Free Speech Party" has moved to control the art you see at the Kennedy Center, the language journalists use at the AP, the words permitted in government contracts...

I get that in an age where truth is often stranger than fiction, it’s tempting to share something without verifying it first. But now more than ever, it’s important to separate fact from falsehood. Spreading misinformation doesn’t just muddy the waters—it undermines the truth and your credibility.

Very proud of the 8 DOJ attorneys who have refused to dismiss the Adams case. Their oath is to the Constitution, not the president.

here, let me help: After Purge, Trump Installs Himself as Chair of Kennedy Center

1/2 Establishment Democrats have no guiding ideology beyond preserving the status quo, clinging to power, and protecting corporate interests. They have no real commitment to the working class...

Elon Musk takes meetings and speaks to the press with his kid on his shoulders. I have no issue with that, but if he were a woman, the Right would be up in arms, insisting she should stay home if she can’t juggle work and parenting separately.

Hakeem Jeffries has to go. He says that Democrats have no leverage and this is the Republican's government. This is not that attitude we need for the resistance.

Stop calling them billionaires and start calling them what they are—robber barons.

First Stephen A. Smith says Trump is not a racist and now this. What a clown.
