Minnesota Gov. Walz confirms Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband are dead after an overnight "politically motivated assassination"

Are we really fucking doing this. Had nothing happened to Senator Padilla at all, what she was describing is a federal takeover of a major city by military force with no specified end-date, with no legal authority. Do not let the fascists talk their way out of that.

She is saying, in effect: "We are going to liberate the city from its democratically elected leadership using the military"

IMPORTANT: Before the fascist attack on Senator Alex Padilla, Kristi Noem said that her gestapo in California were staying to "liberate the city socialist and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country." Don't let that slide by.

This is not hard. Every Republican member of Congress should join Democrats in condemning this administration’s vicious arrest of Sen Padilla. “A Republic if you can keep it” is now.

As an effective altruist, I like to give my money where it can do the most good and often that means places outside the United States. That’s why I have no problem with the USAID cuts that will kill 25 million people in Africa and Asia.

Trump is threatening to revoke Harvard’s tax exempt status because the university refused to cave to his demands. Why is he so hell-bent on attacking universities? Because an educated and informed citizenry has always been the biggest threat to a dictator's power.

But it’s worse than that - it was that enslaved people were counted as 3/5s of a person for calculating the number of votes/representatives southern states would get in the electoral college/congress. So all the “benefit” of being counted 3/5 of a person went directly to their masters, not to them.

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy. Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media. That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, museums, and the arts – to prevent us from learning. It's Fascism 101.

If Trump can disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him? Either everyone has due process — or no one does.

I'm obviously not the first to make this observation, but: if we want to bring back American manufacturing, tariffing most inputs but exempting final consumer goods is just about the exact opposite thing we should be doing?

Trump is going to “instinctively” select certain US companies and exempt them from tariffs. Don’t overthink it. He’s asking for bribes.

It's not about immigration. It's not about gang activity. It's about the Trump administration seeking the absolute power to send anyone they see fit — citizens included – without due process on one way trips to overseas concentration camps from which no one ever returns.

The Supreme Court has ruled, temporarily at least, and perhaps permanently, that the United States government can deport anyone, including a US citizen, to a foreign country and then maroon them there on the grounds that they no longer have control of them. Fascism is here.

I check out the Fox News website almost every day to see what they're up to. I don't encourage you to do the same. Fox is a nonstop pack of lies and distortions designed to make Americans mean, paranoid and traitorous. If this country becomes a dictatorship, Fox will be a primary reason why.

If we can pull out of this nosedive into Authoritarianism, I think theres a silver-lining... We have steered clear of fascism's pull for 80 years due to the living memory of the Greatest Generation, but now, with them gone, we need a new inoculation from the virus, and this period might be it.

Friends, I know you're excited to try protesting, but under no circumstances should you ever sign up to attend one. I'm suspicious of any org asking people to put their name on a list that is easily accessible via warrant or may even be public. You can just show up day of.

If your NC vote has been challenged, the appeals court has triggered a 15-day "curing" period. It is imperative that you contact your local Board of Elections or legal representation for the next steps. The NC GOP is openly trying to steal their state's Supreme Court. Do not let them.

It's unfair to say that what Trump's doing is unprecedented. Ninety-five years ago, the Smoot Hawley Tariff Act helped turn a recession into the Great Depression.
