Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Shitler (aka Trump) did not destroy our Constitutional Republic, the Republican Party did. They did so bc white voters, motivated by ignorance and bigotry, gave them permission. The destruction they’ve caused will last for decades. And we must be clear about who to blame if we’re ever to rebuild.

“Your great, great grandkids are gonna say: ‘what did you do? Did you just step back and let it happen...Did you wait for some cavalry to ride to our rescue? Or did you get up and get after it, and do whatever you could with what you had, where you were?’” Beto O’Rourke told me—watch it here:

I’ll never forget courageous students at Virginia Commonwealth University walking out of their own commencement ceremony last year to protest against KKK GOPer Glenn Youngkin as he was speaking. This is how all GOP fascists should be treated.

It’s time for people of faith, morality, and conscience to hold the people in our lives accountable for their willing partnership with this filth. We may need to sever ties with our family members, friends, neighbors, and co-workers who still champion him. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/we-may-nee...

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

If Trump and his gang aren't bound by the law nor the constitution, why are you? Currently the system of checks and balances is being destroyed at a speed that would have launched most countries into riots or open revolt. This is a constitutional crisis and your constitution isn't doing so well.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

Crockett: He went from being the dork that was jumping around on stage to allegedly being this amazing genius that's gonna save a country he wasn't born in, and one that maybe he doesn't agree w/the idea of a democratic republic, considering the fact he may have been more on the side of apartheid.

Lately, I'm realizing that not only do I not love this nation but I really don't like it very much, either: not the one we have been and certainly not the one we're becoming now that we have rejected decency and elected inhumanity. I'm not alone. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/for-americ...

We want you to know that this is not who we are. It may be who this man is. It may be who those sharing power with him are. It may even be the tens of millions who voted for him. But this is not the totality of this nation. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/dear-world...

Dems would get much more traction finding and promoting people saying what they know and experience. What has more impact, This man speaking his mind or the Dems speaking “in unison “ ?

I’ve seen enough. Donald Trump should be impeached and removed from office. Spineless Republicans won’t do it. But it absolutely needs to be said, right now. My Friday Post:

Things we took for granted in our leadership, things like goodness, wisdom, and basic truthfulness are no longer in play, and as things are eroding quickly here we wanted to let you know that we're sorry. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/dear-world...

Remember this day. The last full day with a Democratic President. We don’t know when or if we’ll ever live another day like this. 🥺
