Civility doesn’t seem to be working either.

A core difference in principles between progressives and conservatives is that progressives understand that the world is a complicated, nuanced, moving system that should be adapted to. Conservatives believe that the world is simple; that matters are black and white and binary.

Hey, just wanted you to know that today is Nina Simone’s birthday. They may be strangling #BlackHistoryMonth, but historians won’t be silenced. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nina_Si...

RFK Jr says his “Wellness Farms” will be “voluntary”. Yeah, that’s literally what the Nazis said too, and at first they were. And then they weren’t. hmd.org.uk/learn-about-...

His name is Krasnov from now on. bylinetimes.com/2025/02/21/d...

Seen at CPAC. Do they…uh…do they know what happened to Caesar?

Mark your calendars: March 4 Liberty mass protest in DC, on March 4th starting at noon. “We are stronger together” #3E #USprotests #NoKings #march4liberty #Mar4

#Palantir is getting a whole bunch of data. www.reddit.com/r/craftofint...

That “big thing” you’re waiting for to send you into action has already happened, and you failed to act. Now is the second-best time to do it.

For the people who still don’t understand how bad things are: Yesterday’s EO is the biggest executive power grab in history. Do you think they would have ever let the president have so much power if there were even the slightest chance that in the future, a Democrat would be the one to wield it?

I’m so sick of people saying this shit, especially elected officials. He’s the president. Declaring himself a king after issuing an order just the day before that says he’s the final authority on all laws isn’t a goddamn distraction.

It’s not a coincidence—it’s a warning.

“I am a king and my will is law” isn’t a clever distraction from what he’s doing, it’s the central underlying justification for everything he’s doing.

Trump is very serious. This is what he wants. Appeasers who want to assure you that “Hitler would never invade Poland because that would be whacky,” are as bad as collaborators. First rule about fascists: “Believe them when they say who they are/what they will do.”

#RemoveTheKing is great, but #DeposeTheKing has such flair to it.
