Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

What the actual fuck?! America, it’s time to rise. When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty!

Hey NYTimes — *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.

Are things more hopeless than I thought they were? Y'all must like what you get w/Trump's constant swirl of chaos, lies & bigotry/racism, etc. I don't have 30 years to waste trying to teach empathy, ethics/law & US history to the masses. If he truly is what the US people want, then I gotta go.

Vance is a Yale Law school graduate who seemingly doesn't understand the checks and balances that are the core of the United States government. So, I agree with @atrupar.com -- I assume they're going to disregard the order. @elienyc.bsky.social what's your take on this?

It’s hard to overhype how dangerous this moment is. This a naked attempt to seize government by the right wing billionaire class so they can steal from the American people.

Tried to call the White House comment line and it says they’re closed. Anyone have any luck leaving messages or should we all focus on Congressional contacts?

More than 8,000 web pages across more than a dozen U.S. government websites have been taken down since Friday afternoon, a New York Times analysis found. The purges have removed information about vaccines, veterans’ care, hate crimes, scientific research and more.

Who knew Biden could have just stormed into the White House, handed a friendly billionaire the keys to all the federal buildings, fired anyone who might have voted for Trump and imposed the Green New Deal, police, gun and voting reform and Roe v. Wade by force, without barely a peep from Congress.

The guy from The Apprentice, who hired a Fox weekend host to run the Pentagon and a cast member from the Real World to run the FAA (the two agencies associated with the incident) says the real cause of a deadly plain crash is DEI.

Trump fired the NLRB's pro-worker general counsel and its acting chair. He's effectively gutted the agency tasked with defending the rights of workers to organize. Guess who has recently filed lawsuits aimed at invalidating the agency altogether? Amazon and SpaceX.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Thank you, President Biden for this final act! I've been speaking out about Leonard Peltier since I was in high school and had almost given up any hope that he would be released. He will now be going home to serve the remainder of his time with family and friends. #Peltier #FreePeltier

Is this the poster for that new Lifetime Original Movie, "JD and the Bandit: Tale of the Tiny Hands"? 🤔😕

I appreciate & agree with her. If I was famous & asked to perform or even merely attend this inauguration I would not do it. Trump does not deserve adulation or respect. I love history & politics but I don’t even know if I can bring myself to bear witness to this disgrace on television.

The moral of the story, kids: It’s fine to try to stop the peaceful transfer of power and incite a mob to storm the Capitol and do all you can to overturn an election as long as you run again and win 🇺🇸

Anyone else feeling like the next 4 years in the US is going to be a constant test & display of the INTEGRITY of not only our elected officials but also our every day citizens?
