They’re burning books. Boarding up libraries. And trying to block @archive.org from preserving the websites they’re purging. This is fascism. And under fascism, you self publish. Here’s how: halfletterpress.com/why-self-pub... [inspired by @prisonculture.bsky.social Why Make Zines in 2025]

We've no intel. But, we also don't know why anyone would need to register for a protest.

No person calling themselves a #christian should ever see this and not consider it as blasphemy. Everything about this is antithetical to the teachings of #christ. If you're okay with this, you need to re-evaluate your life because you are in a bad place mentally if you think this is okay. #maga

THIS IS WHY we need to remove presidential appointments from high office because you end up with motherfucking morons like Pete Hegseth in positions they are GROSSLY unqualified for! Hes a drunken fox news talking head! WHAT THE GODDAMNED FUCK!

Tomorrow, we will be demonstrating across this country against our wannabe king and his decision to destroy the constitutional rights that Americans fought long and hard to secure. We will show solidarity — and we will do it peacefully. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/tomorrow-is-no-kings-day

Yes. According to Army protocol, congressional staff are VIP Code 5, with a rank equivalent to a two-star general/admiral. Members of Congress are of course significantly higher. I have never seen USCP, FPS, or any other federal LEO treat any Member with anywhere near this disrespect and violence.

Tragically, the outrageous assault of Sen. Padilla today is becoming normal behavior for a Trump administration which is moving us toward authoritarianism. The American people do not like petty tyrants. We defeated King George in 1776. We will defeat King Donald.

As a four-decade veteran of the daily journalism business, let me tell you: Every competent political reporter in this country knows that Trump is trying to establish a dictatorship. The industry's shame is that so few journalists will say so, and the ones who do lose their jobs.

So, are Senate Democrats now FINALLY going to stop voting yes on Trump agenda items altogether? NO on Trump nominations! NO on Trump budgets! NO on Trump legislation! NO ON TRUMP!!!

Oh he struck those words, so now its almost like he never said them, how convenient that he can just say "take backsies" and the threat is now vanished into the ether.

This is insane. I’m trying to think what the reaction would have been if Mayorkas, DHS Secretary under Biden, had got his security folks to manhandle and shove Tom Cotton or Ted Cruz in this way.

Senator Alex Padilla is one of the most decent people I know. This is outrageous, dictatorial, and shameful. Trump and his shock troops are out of control. This must end now.

I dont know that there has ever been a time in history where the #democraticparty has shown themselves to be so blatantly #republicanlite. Sure there are members who are outspoken and talk about the genocide Isreal is committing against Palestinians in Gaza, but most of them are silent or worse.

American christians totally believe in christian values, as long as your white! They love Jesus, so long as its the blue eyed pale skinned one. Is no wonder christo fascism has taken hold of so many in this country with the idea of american exceptionalism feeding it as it grows.

My grandmother, her mother and grandmother fled Sicily and the growth of #fascism for a country that offered sanctuary and hope and now I am confronted with the same thing she faced as a young girl. I always wondered what that was like for her and now I feel that much closer to her in this moment.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

To all my liberal and progressive friends out there who keep sayin "violence is not the answer..." I agree to a point, and that point is when you have to defend yourself from an unconstitutional armed force invading our streets then violence might be the answer, in self defense.

Our fathers, our grandfathers, our brothers and uncles, sons and friends, crossed an ocean and fought a war to kick nazi assholes out of Europe and end their fascist reign... but we cant seem to get up and do it here in our own country today. What a sad sorrowful state we find ourselves in.

They're talking about the "golden dome" again. So let us remind you that experts overwhelmingly reject the proposal as “the insane ramblings of a senile old person.”

For decades, Sec. Kennedy has spread lies about vaccines. Now, his misinformation will lead to preventable illness & death. Firing independent experts is a dangerous move that makes it harder for Americans to access vaccines that are safe, effective & essential to saving lives.

#KamalasLIE #TheNewBIGLIE So yeah #maga, make it make sense. #Fucktrump and his gestapo incursion into Los Angeles just like Harris said he would. Every accusation is an admission of what he plans to do and here we are being proven right again.

Trump’s deployment of the National Guard in California is not about the protests. It is about expanding his never-ending grasp for more power. It is about moving this country toward authoritarianism. All Americans must stand together against this gross abuse of power.

If Trump can claim a "national emergency" to disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him? No one is safe — not even people legally in the country, possibly not even American citizens. Fascism is here.

I watched the GITS live action movie begrudgingly once and hated it. Then I watched it again because I was doing a podcast episode about it and wanted to focus on some specific issues. I watched it a third time years later to see if I might have been wrong to hate it so much. I was not incorrect.

The #GhostInTheShell live action movie is imitation without understanding. Its a mindless homage that only really copies the original source in places, but doesnt know why its doing it other than knowing that it was popular, thus thinking if they copy it then they might also be popular. #GITS

Israel kidnapping Greta Thunberg, the Academy-Award winning co-director of the documentary No Other Land, and declaring Ms. Rachel an anti-semite for not wanting Palestinian kids to die. Yup, this is how you win the world.
