You are right. But it's 2025. Talking about it as if it will happen is how politics works. It also forces right wing media to talk about it and if there is enough Dem proposed legislation, Trump and Elon have to respond to the Dems rather than vice versa

This is the most cowardly administration in history.

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

It’s a conundrum. 🤷‍♂️

Every former president should be speaking out, often, about what’s happening. It isn’t political to speak out it’s helping to save democracy and the rule of law. I think it’s cowardly to be silent.

Stephen Miller went on CNN and was so transparently full of shit that he ended up lashing out at the host

I believe he is a danger to our nation, a threat to our safety, careless with our people, and reckless with his power. I believe America is less secure, less diverse, less compassionate, and less decent under his leadership. I will not obey him. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/i-do-not-o...

Great! Keep it up. 👍

Arrest the fascist and lock his ass up!

Constant lies, lifetime of corruption, probable treason. But in the end his most infuriating personality trait... #StopTrumpNOW!

A perfect partnership for our times: A Republican Party design for the fascist takeover of the United States, and a sleazy billionaire right-wing foreigner to fund it. #StopTrumpNOW!

Reminder: this is completely lawless

I hate to say it, but since all the other agencies of the Executive Branch have failed us, it's time to acknowledge a call to the US military might become necessary. #StopFascismNow!

Leon Skum really is out to buy the entire world and convert it to fascism.

So much evil in one photo it is actually staggering

Rubio is another convert to fascism.

Recall if you will Stephen King's classic "The Stand." In my mind I can't help but envision Donald Trump as Randall Flagg, and his loyal psychopath Elon Musk as Trashcan Man. I just hope the nightmare ends sort of the same way.

Are you listening, @SenateGOP?

"Does your dog bite?" "No, it's worse... she judges"

It’s almost like we warned he was a fascist with authoritarian tendencies and were called hysterical by the media.

Sen. Tim Kaine tells federal employees to ignore Trump’s offer to quit with pay for months. “Don’t be fooled. He’s tricked hundreds of people with that offer. If you accept that offer and resign he’ll stiff you just like he stiffed the contractors. He doesn’t have any authority to do this.”
