Exactly

Today’s cover of the Murdoch-owned New York Post

Howard Dean did less and we banished him from society.

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

Golden retriever and duck playing with each other is the best thing I've seen today!!

THIS. THIS IS HOW YOU POST CHUCK SCHUMER.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

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?

💥 “We’re tired of the executive branch putting us at risk! We need our fellow Americans to stand up with us! We need Congress to take action!! It is essential to stand up against Autocracy!” It’s time to unite and make our voices heard! h/t Alejandro Alvarez in DC

True words.

NYC Mayor Eric Adams debuts his new look.

Hard not to feel like this is going to end exactly as we think. The president of a democratic country is approvingly quoting Napoleon.

Not long ago I said that when it comes to the Trump regime we should try to strategically focus on one thing: the incompetence. We’re naturally drawn to the corruption, the extremism, and the cruelty, because that’s what outrages us the most...

Do NOT open your door for any authority unless they have a warrant — from a court, signed by a judge. NO warrant, NO entry. If they arrest you, you ALWAYS have the right to remain silent, even if they don’t read you any rights. The ONLY thing to say: “I want a lawyer.”

Republicans for much of 2024: "How DARE you call our candidate Mr Trump a fascist?" *President* Trump in 2025:

happy bday Susan B. Anthony b. 1820, Adams, MA. “I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do because I notice it always coincides with their own desires.” “Men, their rights, and nothing more; women, their rights, and nothing less.”

what i find astounding for all you christian nationalists who support Trump is that you know who one of the most woke, pro-DEI, anti-wealth accumulation people in history was? Jesus.

Why is DOJ leadership eager to dismiss a slam dunk legal case against corrupt NYC mayor Eric Adams? Because the quid pro quo: they value mass deportation more, and want to make NY a test case to force compliance by states (along with the DOJ suit against NY). abc7ny.com/post/departm...

This is not a normal person 👇

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

What can you do? Don’t give up hope. Dictators feed off your hopelessness. Don’t quit. Dictators want you to give up. Punch back. Dictators are bullies, and bullies are cowards. Stay tethered to the truth. Dictators need you to believe their lies. Resist. Stand with others.

Nailed it 🏆

That’s a cuck chair now.

If you are looking for someone to say that all is lost and the courts can't help protect democracy, you are following the wrong guy. If you are looking for someone who fights hard and will never give up, I'm here for you.
