The nation is calling for action, and Sen. Booker, along with Sen. Murphy and Sen. Sanders is answering the call. We must ALL answer the call to defeat this fascist coup!

Chuck Schumer's days are numbered. His feckless leadership has left a huge vacuum, and Corey Booker and Chris Murphy are stepping up to the plate and delivering. This is not a moment for passivity, and Schumer is not up to the task.

"Resistance is no longer an idea—it is an imperative. It is the fault line between democracy and tyranny, between freedom and subjugation, between life and death. Silence is complicity. Now is the time to rise."

From Giroux's article: His [Khalil's] disappearance is both a precedent and a warning—a stark reminder that in regimes built on repression, silence is coerced, and resistance is a crime.

Henry Giroux speaks unvarnished truth to power in this insightful interview. I recommend listening to the audio and reading Giroux's article on CounterPunch. I also recommend subscribing to Ian Masters' Background Briefing, one of the most informative podcasts available.

Wherever you are there is an event near you. Check the 50501 and Indivisable websites!

Ask yourself: what would you do if you saw this happening? Would you intervene, video the transgression, call the local police? WE CANNOT STAND IDLY BY!! When you kneel before fascism, you become a fascist.

Back to the future, same as it ever was. These scumbags really want to take us back to the 19th century. I say they should get 19th-century justice. Trump’s “Freedom Cities” Are a Devious Scam newrepublic.com/article/1927... via @newrepublic.com

They are praying they can escape with only one firing, but in truth EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE NUMBSKULLS SHOULD BE FIRED. This will not go away. “F—King Idiot”: Trump Team Considers Fall Guy for War Plans Group Chat newrepublic.com/post/193122/... via @newrepublic.com

This is a great idea: appoint Democrats to shadow every Trump cabinet member, reporting on their malfeasance and offering an alternative that benefits voters. Let's do it!! Democrats: Send in the Shadow Cabinet! newrepublic.com/article/1930... via @newrepublic.com

It is critical that everyone read this series of posts by Josh Marshall to its completion. DOGE was never about efficiency. It's sole purpose is to conduct a massive data "smash and grab" to create a construct for PERSECUTING ANYONE WHO OPPOSES THEM.

The preceding line from the song: "Don't it always seem to go, that you don't know what you got 'till it's gone . . ."

Lutnick is clearly an elite who knows no person in need of these vital services. To call it tone deaf is the understatement of the year, or given this insane administration, maybe it just lasts the week. (Almost) Everyone knows someone who relies on Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid!

Time all those Reagan Democrat "moderates" who dismissed Bernie: this is just the start. We're on approach for take-off!

This guy knows of what he speaks. This is serious shit. Elbows up!

If you support fascists, you're a fascist. MAGAts don't want to hear it, but it's the unvarnished truth.

We all knew this would happen. Tatoos were their only metric in determining guilt.

These people are dead to me. Thank you, Sen.s Padilla and Schiff of my state, California, as well as the others, for rejecting this BS CR. The nine listed (et tu, Sen. Schatz?!) CAN GO TO HELL!! These Democrats Voted for the GOP Spending Bill newrepublic.com/post/192800/... via @newrepublic.com

Absolutely right. Doing nothing makes us complicit and a 30-day clean CR is totally reasonable. They don't want to have to defend their treason!

This is the proverbial Canary in the Coal Mine. If this attack againdt Khalil succeeds, Trump will quickly move to declare a national emergency and start arresting other dissidents. Before you know it, he will be arresting journalists and congressional reps. We must act NOW.

Like this assh*le will ever feel any adverse effects from this insanity. These people are execrable.

Every country will be looking to get nukes as that appears to be the only effective deterrent to insane megalomaniacs.

You just KNOW that Trump said all that crazy shit to Trudeau. Everyone knows that Trump is certifiably insane. Yeah, I'll fight in the U.S. - Canada War . . . for Canada. How Trump’s ‘51st State’ Canada Talk Came to Be Seen as Deadly Serious www.nytimes.com/2025/03/07/w...
