PETITION www.impeachtrumpagain.org 🚨 BREAKING: Rep. Jamie Raskin, Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee: "The minute that somebody in public office decides that they're a king...that's the time for the people to evict, eject, reject, impeach, try, convict, and start all over again.”

In Public Notice today: “Performative public lying is a hallmark of far right authoritarian parties.” This is very important Everyone should read this:

The Minnesota Shooting Suspect's Background Suggests Deep Ties to Christian Nationalism | WIRED

I watched a screener of this from PBS — it airs next week. Highly recommended. www.pbs.org/wnet/america...

These ICE raids are Nazi/gestapo sh*t. Don't let anybody tell you otherwise! #MAGAKidnappers

MUST WATCH: Musk stole our data as part of Republicans’ plan to centralize control and surveillance over every American. Yes, AI and data in the wrong hands IS dangerous to Democracy. Learn about Palantir and Peter Thiel #DeepState

“If we do not stand up to Peter Thiel, they’re going to come after all of us.” 13 people were arrested protesting Palantir’s surveillance of Americans. Palantir is profiting off of ICE raids. It’s refining its tracking techniques & gathering data at lightning speed. @moreperfectunion.bsky.social

When authoritarian leaders feel their grip slipping, they don’t go quietly. The stoke more division, spread bigger lies, blame others for their failures & escalate threats to institutions (like elections, courts, the press). A wounded narcissist with a loyal cult & no moral compass is dangerous.

YESSSSSSS!!! Repost Please.

Happy Father's Day to all dads! 💖😺

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Pet Sounds is of course one of the greatest albums ever. It's credited to the Beach Boys, but it all basically came from the brilliant mind of a 23 year-old Brian Wilson. It's insane how one person created this at a time when a record like this wasn't conceivable to almost anyone else on Earth.

Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale RTd this thread, which says Trump shld act fast & “Fire people who can't be fired. Force them to litigate. Mass deport people who can't be deported. Force them to litigate. Cancel 100s of billions in funding that are not lawful to cancel & force them to litigate.” 1/

We believe in the Constitution, Bill of Rights, separation of powers, and checks and balances. The U.S. was founded in opposition to monarchy. We fought for democracy over dictatorship. What the Trump regime is doing is the antithesis of the values this nation was founded upon.

The No Kings mobilizations on June 14 were already planned as a peaceful stand against authoritarian overreach and the gross abuse of power Trump’s Administration has shown. Now, this military escalation only confirms what we’ve known: This government wants to rule by force, not serve the people.

“No civil police force could hold out against an irate and resolute population. The trick is not to let them realize that.” - Terry Pratchett, Unseen Academicals

Everyone should say it: The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism. Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy. But that's not what's interesting about Miller. It's not brains. It's bile.

Silence Is Complicity Straighten your spine Speak & live your truth

The blowup between Elon and Trump hasn’t ended DOGE, it’s still expanding. Russ Vought now plans to institutionalize DOGE across the federal government, and Elon’s staffers are embedded deep within key agencies.

EVERYBODY WATCH. ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL. Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today. He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader. Don’t turn away.

81 years ago, America's bravest generation stormed the beaches of Normandy in hopes of freeing Europe from the clutches of a brutal authoritarian. Today, we face authoritarianism on our shores. We owe it to ourselves, our country, and that great generation to fight for freedom here at home.

Over 70 law professors, lawyers and former Florida Supreme Court justices have filed an ethics complaint against AG Pam Bondi for serious personal misconduct. The claim states Bondi “breached ethical duties and threatens the rule of law.” #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory apple.news/Ak_lwUKdISeC...

Good to see the advertising in the print edition of @theonion.com is strong, @bencollins.bsky.social!

This looks like this Administration is trying to spy on Americans. Americans deserve transparency and accountability, especially when working with companies like Planatir. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/amp/sh...
