VT, as always "Vermont Attorneys Issue Statement In Support of the Rule of Law" medium.com/@nataliersil...

"The message from the Trump administration is clear: State’s rights for some, federal government oversight for everyone else. " www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Gosh. If only there were an historical analogue we could study to learn about the horrors of rounding people up without due process and sending them to torture camps in other countries.

Judges can't rule against him. Lawyers can't represent anyone who goes against him. Students can't write op-eds he doesn't like. Tattoos negate Due Process. Comics can't make jokes about him. Zoos and museums can't have "improper" ideology. A nazi can steal your Social Security. We great again yet?

Casar: They would have trouble voting to fire thousands of veterans. So instead, they are encouraging Elon Musk to violate the Constitution. Instead of firing veterans, my position is we should fire Elon Musk.

What's the real takeaway from Signalgate? Can Trump's attacks on free speech and due process be stopped? What does "Liberation Day" even mean? Robert Reich and Heather Lofthouse tackle this week's big questions on today's Coffee Klatch.

While temperatures were in the 30s and 40s in the Granite State on Saturday, some areas of the Northeast reached nearly 80 degrees.

The billionaire—who is still bribing people to vote Republican—is pushing wildly unsubstantiated claims about paid protesters at the Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez rallies.

Washington, D.C., police were in an awkward position during this week's standoff involving the U.S. Institute of Peace when DOGE and Trump staffers sought access to the building to install a new president.

They've never seen anything as un-American as the "domestic terrorism" of some Teslas getting vandalized, they say.

Fact: They didn’t fear what breaking the Dept of Education would do to their kids. Their kids are in fancy private schools. They are dismantling the Dept of Ed so our kids have no choice but to be undereducated and work for their kids.

Making people fear that: - They’re gonna lose their healthcare - Their families & friends are gonna be deported - They’re gonna lose their Social Security - Their kids are gonna lose their education IS RADICAL DOMESTIC TERRORISM Pass it on…

This is how cops are bastards - by protecting Corporations, not the people.

Unternehmen, die vom NS-Regime profitiert haben, prägen noch immer die deutsche Wirtschaft. Zachary Gallant argumentiert in seinem neuen Buch: Eine Entnazifizierung Deutschlands wird es erst geben, wenn Nazi-Erben diese Profite zurückgeben.

RFK JR on Measles Outbreaks just now: "It is not unusual. There are measles outbreaks every year." It is actually very unusual. This is the first Measles death in the US in 10 years.

DNC, are you taking notes? youtu.be/v3HB8MZ9_AU?...

By August 2024, 40,000 self-proclaimed vigilante vote-fraud hunters had already challenged the rights of 852,381 voters — with a target of 2 million before the election. Did the voters decide the 2024 election, or voter suppression? Watch our movie and decide for yourself. youtu.be/P_XdtAQXnGE

New — Social Security Administration (SSA) probationary employees were told today that they have eight hours to agree to be reassigned to a field office, tele-service center or payment center and waive all rights to appeal reassignment, or they will be fired, agency source tells me.

Investigative journalist @gregpalast.bsky.social explains how he uncovered how over 3.5 million votes were purged from the 2024 elections, numbers similar to NPR’s analysis. Listen to the interview here or wherever you get your podcasts: loom.ly/H0nR12w #oligarchy #dictatorship #dictatortrump

If you're not scared you're not paying attention.

WTF?

This system is how people get Social Security benefits, Medicare payments and tax refund. This is a fucking coup.

Nothing to see here...

The indefatigable @gregpalast.bsky.social has followed #VoterSuppression for years. He's a former numbers guy. He announces his findings only after thorough investigation & verification.

Trumps economic plan: Everyday people who buy stuff? 25% tax hike Wealthy people who own stuff? Tax cut

The highest positions of the FBI are being purged tonight. Elon Musk is a private citizen trying to seize control of the treasury, having access to taxpayers money. Trump cannot eliminate an appropriated federal agency by EO, we are in another Constitution crisis. newrepublic.com/post/190983/...

Let's see what Germany is saying about Trump & the USA 🇩🇪 🇺🇲 🛑 "He also pays the bill himself." Donald Trump has long been announcing punitive tariffs against Mexico and Canada - now they are actually coming into force. The US president is also damaging his own country. www.zeit.de/wirtschaft/2...

In case you were wondering about giving TikTok another shot

Subsidize artists not greedy wealthy corporations like Walmart ✊

REPORTER: You would agree it's never acceptable to assault police officers? TRUMP: Sure REPORTER: Among those you pardoned is a guy who used a stun gun on a police officer. Why does he deserve a pardon? TRUMP: Well, I don't know

There’s nothing I could say about him here that you don’t already know. But as this next chapter of our nation begins, I just want you to know something I feel about you: I am going to hold you responsible for what he does. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/to-the-peo...

Israeli forces fired tear gas at Palestinians waiting outside Ofer Prison ahead of the prisoner release under the ceasefire agreement, according to medical sources. 🔴 LIVE updates: http://aje.io/ra03xo

UnitedHealth has overcharged some cancer patients for medicine by over 1,000%. An FTC report finds that OptumRx, United Health's pharmacy benefit manager, has made billions by charging patients a huge markup for life-saving drugs. www.yahoo.com/news/unitedh...

70 senators voted to expand mandatory detention in the Laken Riley Act to include the overused charge of assaulting a police officer, which prosecutors use with flimsy evidence to extend sentences and gain leverage. www.senate.gov/legislative/...

Israel kills more Palestinians as Bibi lies to the world to keep the killing going while Pam Bondi lies for Trump, and Rubio shows how luch he hates the Chinese people, and more… youtu.be/NxaSZsJ-mmo?...

I took some more photos of poor Pepper today. He is so sweet and loving and gentle but nobody has wanted to adopt him just because he looks a little bit scrungly. 😢 Please share with anyone you know in northern Vermont who might be interested! www.hsccvt.org/Cats#sl_embe...

Outrageous! This needs to blow up. They want to throw out 60,000 votes and steal the state Supreme Court election in NC!

Smoke inhalation — even for seconds - can impair consciousness. To anyone in the immediate vicinity of this unprecedented fire in the nations most populous county, urgently heed the evacuation orders NOW. Smoke is as dangerous as the flames behind them.

There is no serious legal basis for the litigation challenging the Dem win for NC Supreme Court, and they are not following the proper procedure. This isn't a case of well it was close, a recount might still flip it. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say it's an attempt to steal the election.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget
