It’s a very good read.

PEOPLE OF THE NATION WAKE UP AND SMELL THE ROSES TRUMP IS TAKING AWAY BIT BY BIT ( VICTOR ORBAN) PLAY BOOK YOUR RIGHTS WAKE THE HELL UP !!!!!!!! IF NOT KISS YOUR FREEDOMS GOOD BUY WAKE PEOPLE LOOK WHAT HAPPENED IN OTHER NATIONS GET EDUCATED!!!!!!!!! RISE UP AND FIGHT BACK RISE UP FIGHT BACK

Surrender now! That’s the message coming from the Trump camp. Loud and clear. What they don’t know or have forgotten is that we Americans (those of us who are not them) still hold the wild card: We are now and always have been exceptional. My latest: constantcommoner.substack.com/p/a-reminder...

It would be far less time-consuming to just document when he tells the truth. shorturl.at/tohgb

Jamie Raskin: "Given that I was marching at age 3, you know I’m not letting any coup-plotting, election-denying, insurrection-supplying autocrat, kleptocracy, plutocrat or theocrat, or any techno-feudalist Silicon Valley broligarchs aspiring dictator, turn me around now.” Amen!!

When we stop obeying daily whims and "policies" of chaos-makers in vast numbers, it'll force tyranny to show its ugly teeth. Do not comply. Make them expose themselves. Challenge every move. Let people in every position everywhere say NO! Call the bluff—or make them fight their own people. Enough!

I try to keep the language on here… PG… but in this case i can’t. You, Trump, are a traitorous piece of shit

Instead of the American dream, Trump made Krushchev's dream possible.

This is an official White House meme. It's stupid. Trump is stupid. They're so stupid they don't even have the sense to be embarrassed by this. Keep telling them how stupid they are. Don't respond in any other way. It'll drive them nuts.

We've gathered in solidarity wherever federal workers, federal programs and our Constitution are under attack. The majority will defend representative democracy against the cyberbarons.

This is real. Trump wrote this. It's outrageous, even for him. Never let him live it down.

What if we find out the election was rigged? Is it really too late?

This is nuts. You know that, right?

Don't you just love this?? I'm actually laughing out loud. Feels good, too.

There may come a time when the word ‘Republican’ will be as hated as the word ‘Nazi’. Is that really what you want, Republicans?

I get nervous when people say, “Don’t worry, we’ll get it all back in 2029”. Are they kidding?? How will we get it back four years from now if we don’t fight to stop it TODAY? Today is when we need to get it back. Or, at the very latest, tomorrow.

This is so clever! Love it!

Canada, Greenland, Denmark, Panama, and Gaza could not immediately be reached for comment

This is what oligarchy looks like.

I’m begging Democrats to stop talking about tax breaks for billionaires and the price of eggs! They are firing Air Traffic Controllers, stranding Americans in hostile countries, and getting ready to download our data from the IRS. No one is sitting around thinking “I’m worried about the deficit!”

My latest at Constant Commoner. "I thought we could trust you all to put a stop to the madness afoot once you saw how truly destructive Donald Trump and his team of goons were going to be. Instead, you’re aiding and abetting." constantcommoner.substack.com/p/if-you-are...

We have to keep these thoughts uppermost in our minds. This is a battle. No capitulation. Trump must go.

It’s sad on the eve of Presidents Day it’s appropriate to have to post this.

He who rambles on about Hannibal Lecter, Arnold Palmer’s dick size, windmill cancer, and turning Gaza into a real-estate play, and thinks he’s saving the county, should have his head examined.

Axios, really??

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

Zelenskyy knows how to play.

🔥🔥🔥 he’s firing thousands and thousands of people and all of them are going to be on unemployment in the next week!!!!!

He who says something like this is already violating laws.

The thing to remember about the Trump regime is that none of them, including and especially Trump, know what they're doing. They jump into things headlong, with either bullying or revenge as the deciding factor, and they haven't a clue about cause and effect. That's what's going to kill us.

And for the third straight day, the rest of the legacy media did nothing to stand up for the First Amendment. No boycott, no walkout, nothing but business as usual. Then, they wonder why people are canceling subscriptions and turning off their TV's while independent news outlets are thriving.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

We now live in a time where a convicted felon is in the White House using it as a weapon to target his enemies and to destroy the US govt whilst his corrupt billionaire immigrant Nazi boss Musk freely actively steals and distributes classified govt data without punishment. Crazy AF.

The part that terrifies me is that the new leaders of that department--of any department--don't know enough to know they're probably about to kill people.

I made a meme today. Please share.

This is so smart. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social , thoughts ? And if you see this. A reminder. This is not Twitter. You can engage here and have thoughtful discussions ! We all look forward to reading your thoughts
