The third person on the list, after communists and socialists, in the famous “First They Came” poem is the labor organizer. We tend to forget that.

As long as reporters in the briefing room and in the rope line etc don’t garbage Trump and Leavitt with this question - why did you pardon J6ers if you care about police safety? - they’ll continue to behave shamelessly hypocritically and won’t face any consequences.

Five months into office, this administration is trying to arrest Democratic members of Congress, congressional staffers, and governors. This is not just the authoritarian playbook, it is the aggressive version of it.

Ca Gov Gavin Newsom: “The President of the US just called for the arrest of a sitting Governor. This is a day I hoped I would never see in America. “I don’t care if you’re a Democrat or a Republican this is a line we cannot cross as a nation — this is an unmistakable step toward authoritarianism.”

Remember that time during the marches on Selma that the state outlawed gatherings of people to try to prevent further organizing and recruitment? How about the vagrancy and loitering laws of Black Codes? Slaves couldn't gather either...

It would be so great if Democratic elected officials started acting as if the president was trying to arrest them all, because he is.

⚠️ Warning: The Trump administration is circulating footage from 2020 to make the situation in L.A. appear more chaotic than it is. This is an intentional effort to manufacture a larger crisis. Stay alert. Pay attention. The propaganda machine is in overdrive.

fuck em up

So we're already in the trying people in absentia stage of autocracy

if you have to hide behind a mask to do your job, maybe your job is bad

I don’t know how the world can watch the starvation, bombing, burning, shooting of Gazas civilians. Over half are children. They had nothing to do with the horrific Hamas attack. Hundreds of children are killed every week. Hundreds more maimed. This a genocide & it must be stopped

As you may know, the @teslatakedown.com Northbrook protest had a Cybertruck piñata last time. I would like ideas for the prize that should fill it. I thought of “hot air” or “nothing,” but those are too symbolic / abstract. Candy & gum are fun, though simple. What should it be? 🤔 #teslatakedown

If you are looking around and saying your neighbour is the problem, unless your neighbour is an oligarch or a cultist with a red hat, your neighbour is not the problem. Talk to your neighbour and organize. #3E

Brands during Pride month: 🌈 Exxon: no matter who you love, we’ll make sure your children don’t have a livable planet 🌈 Amazon: we treat all of our warehouse workers like dirt, regardless of their sexual orientation 🌈 Raytheon: our tomahawk missiles don’t discriminate

"The pattern of selective enforcement is not merely a series of hypocritical incidents; it is a governing philosophy. Its thesis is simple: In a society run by strongmen, laws and norms exist to control the populace, not the powerful." www.thedissident.news/authoritaria...

It's about purging the brown people. Always has been.

Most accurate pollster of 2020 and 2024 finds Democrats have a 9-point lead in the generic ballot—a massive number this early in the cycle. People may not like us very much, but they HATE what Trump and the Republicans are doing to this country. Maybe the media should focus a bit more on that...

🚨 NEW poll from Navigator Research: 54% of Americans believe Trump is bringing more corruption to Washington—a massive swing with the public. If Democrats stay on offense—hammering Trump’s corruption and pushing to ban D.C. insider trading—this could be a defining 2026 issue.

Damn. Damn. Damn. Damn them. This was such a promising direction and now the neanderthals in charge of everything in this country and trying to kill us all.

Inside Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill”: Judicial Silencing (Sec. 80121(h)). This might be the most authoritarian section in the entire 1,100+ page bill.

You have three days, starting today, to leave a public comment with the FDA about, say, why COVID-19 boosters should remain available to everyone and also free. "Individual consumer" is the category you most likely want (unless you are one of the other categories; if so, choose that).

as well as set the precedence of restricting other vaccines to certain types of people. #stupidityisthepoint

“Baraka, on a hot mic after the hearing’s conclusion, reacted: ‘Jesus, he tore these people a new asshole. Good grief.’”

🔥🚨🔥 The House could put the Big Bullshit Bill on the floor as soon as *tomorrow* (Weds) after tonight's final 1am committee meeting. It's crunch time. Flood the phones. ⚡️📞⚡️ Info, numbers, and call scripts @ 5calls.org

Holding a hearing at 1:00 AM? What is it? They’re hiding? Good opportunity for us to all set our alarms and get up for a little midnight popcorn & airing of the truth.

Noem’s statement is true in the Trumpian sense. It’s an answer that, however wrong and stupid in our reality, conveys loyalty to Trump and defiance of anything not-Trump. That’s what being right means to Trumpers.

"Don't touch Medicaid except for eliminating waste, fraud & abuse." Except to Republicans, Medicaid EXISTING AT ALL is "waste, fraud and abuse."

THIS!

This is far-right propaganda masquerading as journalism. Biden is an 82-year-old retiree who has no formal role in the Democratic Party. Meanwhile, the current president's brain continues to glitch over the word "groceries."

Similarly, people with Fuck Joe Biden bumper stickers were obviously calling for people to have sex with the president.

Don’t forget, Chauvin’s state crimes can’t be pardoned - and that’s the longer of the two sentences. Also don’t forget the people who support that murderer.

Justice Jackson nails where we are right now: “Your argument turns our justice system into a catch me if you can kind of regime from the standpoint of the Executive where everybody has to have a lawyer and file a lawsuit in order for the government to stop violating people’s rights.” 🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯

Even by the outrageous standards of the Trump era, this is a "WTF Are We Doing Here?!" story. Just utterly deranged. The unprecedentedly corrupt president and the cabal of grifters and extremists around him are laughing their asses off while they are ravaging the system and plundering the people.

As Gazans starve, Israel has announced a new plan aimed once again at depopulating the north of its residents. Unlike previous operations, the Israeli military would not withdraw; instead, it would remain in any area it seizes, preventing Palestinians from returning.
