Why the fuck is a single Democrat voting to confirm the fascist's absurdly unqualified cabinet nominations? You think bipartisanship is gonna tone down the fascism? If I were them, I'd be twirling my Hitler stasche and laughing at us right now.

Sagan was a prophet.

Jules Feiffer, 1974

In the space of half a day, the new administration has trashed the Constitution, subverted the independence of the DOJ, granted a broad amnesty to traitors, abandoned the global community on climate and public health, and launched a wide-ranging attack on minority rights.

Historian of fascism here. It was a Nazi salute and a very belligerent one too.

Trump just said he'll bring back law and order. Remember the last time he was here:

Trump invokes “law and order” in the spot where his violent brownshirts, incited by his lies, brutally assaulted law enforcement officers and injured 140 cops. It’s nuts.

No, Trump didn’t make $50 billion from his memecoin A REALLY good explanation for what didn't just happen and what did. www.citationneeded.news/trump-memeco...

“I was afraid of a united Church; it makes a mighty power, the mightiest conceivable, and then when it by and by gets into selfish hands, as it is always bound to do, it means death to human liberty, and paralysis to human thought.” -Twain

I called tech leaders “sheeple” in 2016 for meeting with Trump without mentioning his heinous attitude about immigrants. Now there is so much more except their own self interest wins again and it looks like they are sheeple still.

Today we remember and we recommit to the peaceful and unabashed demand for our rights, ALL of our rights, to our democracy and to each other. Today is #MLKDay and it will not be a day of rest and it will not be a day of resignation. We will not stop. @civilrightsorg.bsky.social

"We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason, if we dig deep in our history and our doctrine, and remember that we are not descended from fearful men — not from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate and to defend causes that were, for the moment, unpopular.” - Edward R Murrow

Starting this difficult day w/inspiration from Dr. King's Letter From A Birmingham Jail: “right defeated is stronger than evil triumphant” "the radiant stars of love and brotherhood will shine over our great nation with all their scintillating beauty” More 👇 www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/radiant-st...

Politico, fawning over Trump, casually drops that we might be going to war with our NATO ally Denmark to seize Greenland, like winning with 49.9% of the vote somehow gave Trump “a mandate” to pursue truly deranged military explanation he announced post-election
