Yup! It’s not just about rejecting Trump’s authoritarian grift. It’s also about rejecting any Democratic leaders who capitulate to him at the expense of their constituents. These types of self-serving Democrats in leadership are not a bulwark against fascism. They’re co-conspirators to it.

Nothing Trump, nor his administration say is ever reliable. But with that said, for the sake of Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s family, I sincerely hope, in this case, they’re telling the truth. apple.news/Ar2OwJJX9TxC...

I'm not saying journalists should never interview admitted propagandists. There are journalistic reasons to do so. But if we do, we must be prepared to -- in fact it is our duty to -- challenge vociferously all unsubstantiated claims. Otherwise, we ourselves become propagandists.

This right here 🔥 “If there was market manipulation, it is a crime. Someone needs to go to jail… I want the documents. I want the Signal chats too, because I don’t trust them — that they weren’t sharing all this information across their Signal chats.” – @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social

Just a refresher, 9 months ago, this was the political strategy the Democratic Party deployed, to appeal to (checks notes) Republican voters. 🙄 Ask yourself, has the Democratic Party learned anything from this absurd self-sabotaging strategy? If Gavin Newsom is any indicator, no they haven’t.

Trump tried to bury this story on a Friday night, but it’s extremely important: He’s planning to take land on the border controlled by the Dept. of Interior and sign it over to Dept. of Defense so migrants “would have trespassed on a military installation,” resulting in harsher punishment.

They called the targeting of brown people of another faith and erosion of civil liberties the “patriot” act so you would feel guilty or fearful for being against it. So you would adopt an us versus them mindset. You were being groomed for autocratic rule all along.

I’ll say it again; Democratic moderates & corporatists are not, and will never be a bulwark against fascism. Unfortunately this is a discrepancy that democratic moderate voters need to reconcile & course correct. Not double-down on, because of hubris & ego, only to be routinely proven wrong.

This is exactly right. Trump is a temporary mess, but the mess he & his administration are making will be felt by generations to come. Keep in mind, this only took 2.5 months to achieve. What facilitated all this can be traced back 15 years, to the Supreme Court upholding Citizens United in 2010.

Is it really asking too much to have a government support the notion of living in peace with our fellow humans who we share this planet with, and not support the genocidal inclinations of warped, religious ideologies that seek to oppress & subjugate us to advance fascist hegemony? Enough already!

Yup! Any Democrats making concessions to MAGA & fascists cannot be part of the resistance. No more excuses for these fascist-apologists. Because it’s exactly those Democrats that made space for, platformed and excused fascists, leading to them demolishing anything not cis-white and male.
