On Tyranny Lesson 8: Stand Out Set an example.

In 2020, the military was adamant about refusing to get involved in the election. That's why Trump hates General Mark Milley so much. Now, Trump is transforming the military into one that will back him up in 2029. We need to figure out how to prepare for that eventuality.

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

On Tyranny Lesson 7: Be reflective if you must be armed. Search your conscience. Take a stand. Prepare yourself.

My governor, Janet Mills, told Trump that she’d see him in court over threats to withhold funding because of trans athletes. My money will be on Gov. Mills. Trump hasn’t had a great record against women in court recently. #janetmills #thewaylifeshouldbe #seeyouincourt

On Tyranny Lesson 6: Be wary of paramilitaries Perfect timing for tonight’s news that Elon’s private security detail has apparently been deputized by the US Marshal Service.

Gov. Mills: I’ll comply with the state and federal laws Trump: We are the federal law. You better do it because you’re not going to get any federal funds. Gov Mills: See you in court

America is not gonna go down quietly. Former NFL punter arrested after protesting ‘MAGA’ Video:

This makes so much sense

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

Lesson 4 from @timothysnyder.bsky.social ‘s On Tyranny: Take responsibility for the face if the world Set an example. Do good. Do not allow hateful comments or images to stand, unopposed. Make this regime work for every inch of space it wants to take up.

Math is hard.

Let she who has not watched America’s Test Kitchen while cooking fish sticks in the air fryer cast the first tater tot.

Lesson 2 in @timothysnyder.bsky.social ‘s On Tyranny: Defend Institutions They can’t defend themselves. Our society has to defend what it values against this regime that seeks to dismantle it. What do you cherish? Free press? Public education? Medicaid? These will collapse without support.

Measles requires 95% vaccination rates for herd immunity. It has a 16.2% case fatality rate for unvaccinated children under 5 years and 24% for children under 9 months (who are unable to be vaccinated). 30% of the survivors experience severe complications like blindness, deafness, or encephalitis.

There’s an immigrant taking people’s jobs… his name is Elon Musk. He’s snatching farms, government jobs (even those in which they manage our national security), and definitely those whose jobs are to root out fraud (inspector generals),

The first lesson: Don’t obey in advance Project 2025 gives us a blueprint of what they want. Make their goals difficult for them to attain.

I recently picked up this book to help navigate our coming months and years, as I find myself feeling powerless and vulnerable. Grab this book or check it out at your local library. #tyranny

You know how people still say Twitter instead of X? Even in news stories, it’s “X (formerly Twitter)”. #gulfofmexico

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

No doubt, Susan is “concerned” enough to do absolutely nothing about anything her constituents care about.

Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

If I were to receive a golden pager from someone who had recently killed a bunch of people with pagers, I’d really see that as a threatening gesture. Am I the only person who thinks this? It’s just so weird… kinda like every single other thing in this bizarro world now.

An election denier has been confirmed as Attorney General of the United States.

For anyone that’s wondering where Trump got the crazy idea of relocating Palestinians and taking over Gaza

Poodle color can fade throughout their life. Mando started out mostly black and has been fading into a lovely silver. And Trump is now suggesting that the US take ownership of Gaza, basically making it another one of his failing, tacky resorts and displacing millions of Palestinians in the process.

Just remembered this thing I made a few years ago for May 4th. 😂. STILL 100% TRUE!

Air traffic controllers have been emailed by the Trump administration urging them to quit their jobs and take mass “buyouts” just 24 hours after the D.C. plane crash.

First the FA, now the FO

Censorship of art. Just another step in the direction of whitewashing and straightwashing our culture.

This photo hits hard.

This is a hostile takeover of the federal government by a private citizen of unlimited means with no restrictions and no transparency. Welcome to the Deep State www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...

Susan Collins could say, "I won't vote for a single Trump nominee or Trump's reconciliation bill or any other Trump proposal until the President rescinds these job-killing tariffs that will raise costs for every Mainer"...but she will not do so! #MEpolitics
