If there was ever a moment in history, in which heads of state, politicians, and the people of this country and others, had a legitimate reason to rise up, loudly and aggressively and take to the streets in defiance of the blatant corruption and treason they face… It’s right fucking NOW!✊🏼🇺🇦🇺🇸

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

From me: After Trump broke Tarrio out of prison, Tarrio said: “Success is going to be retribution. We have to ensure the next four years set us up for the next 100 years." Tarrio and Trump are on the same page. The retribution agenda is about entrenchment. www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/trumps-par...

This is what our Transportation Secretary was doing yesterday as planes are crashing on a near-daily basis. I cannot remember a more dangerous time to fly and yet this reality TV actor-turned-Cabinet Secretary is busy watching cars drive laps at the Daytona 500.

In devastating but expected news: Legal service providers nationwide were instructed by the Trump admin today to stop work on the Office of Refugee Resettlement's unaccompanied child legal services program. This means that every migrant child in federal custody will be without legal information.

Elon Musk posted these two tweets the same day, just hours apart. Don’t sugarcoat it — he’s not just a far-right authoritarian, he’s an outright fascist. Musk isn’t even trying to hide his true intentions at this point. STOP MAKING EXCUSES FOR HIM.

As DOGE and Trump claim to be rooting out govt waste, remember that the first Trump administration granted "church" status to the Family Research Council, allowing the nonprofit to shield its finances from public scrutiny. It also can't be audited without ok from a high-level Treasury official.

As a journalist who covers extremism at the local level, I think it’s a mistake to view Trump’s Napoleonic statement as solely about presidential power. Consider if it’s interpreted as a wink and a nod for any extremist to act outside the law to “save” the country as they see fit
