Hey you know how people made the Tesla brand radioactively toxic and crashed its entire corporate structure? You can do that with authoritarian brutality and with neoliberal oppression and exploitation. You chase these motherfuckers from society until all that’s left is something real and better.

Tonight is the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s midnight ride. May his memory remind us all to resist the tyranny forming in our government.

In an emergency hearing tonight, Judge Boasberg stated he found the Trump administration’s failure to provide people due process before deporting them to a foreign prison is inconsistent with the Supreme Court’s recent directive.

They know that facts no longer matter, that whatever they tell their besotted followers will be believed.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

We're in the fifth stage of fascism now. They are consolidating power, targeting scapegoated others, suppressing speech, banning books, disappearing people, challenging existing institutions like the press, courts, and universities. We need millions in the streets to defend democracy.

If you don't think we're headed here, you aren't paying attention.

This is a concentration camp. bbc.com/news/world-l...

This slogan helped the Brits stand up to German fascists. 21st century American fascists are currently attacking all of our institutions. They want us to feel unsteady, unsure our democracy will hold. They know that if enough of us stay calm, the American people will prevail, as we always have.

The majority of Americans do not want a dictatorship. I hope that April 19th brings a massive, peaceful, nationwide protest that is too big for our elected officials to ignore.

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps. This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped" snyder.substack.com/p/state-terror

So by paying our taxes, we pay for a Central American dictator who runs the 116th-richest nation in the world to build five more supermax concentration camps slated to be filled with our countrymen and wholly innocent legal permanent residents of the United States? Is that right?

Paying taxes with tears in my eyes knowing what they're paying for - disappearing innocent people to a concentration camp in El Salvador. What have we become?

If American is truly great, then we will launch the world's largest, most beautifully diverse pro-democracy movement the world has ever seen, one to make the civil rights movements of the 20th century pale in comparison. #HandsOff my democracy.

A Palm Sunday church service in the Ukrainian city of Sumy interrupted, as Russians massacre 34 people near another church just 3 blocks away. When Russia murders church goers on Palm Sunday, where are all the defenders of Christian values with crosses in their bios?

This is what an oligarchy looks like. We need to take our democracy back.

This is all on purpose, the disruption and chaos. They want us to feel unsteady, like the world is in chaos. They create a sense of disorder so that people will want them to impose order. It’s a thing authoritarians do.

This isn't The Art of the Deal. It's insider trading with a bad comb-over. Step 1: Tank the Market, Scare the Non-Millionaires Step 2: Let the Aristocrats Feast Step 3: Flip, but say ‘Winning’ Step 4: Pretend None of This Ever Happened & Get Your Media Dregs To Do The Same Rinse, Enrich, Repeat.

Lol. They thought they could control the tyrant they helped to install.
