Of the Chiefs of Staff, vice chiefs of staff, and judge advocates general of the three branches, Trump fired all the women and Black people.

Trump pardoned the sentence of arguably the single biggest drug trafficker in American history on his second day in office!

The cars keep lurching to the far right.

They are doing everything possible to disappear trans people.

This fascist, who recently accompanied the Secretary of State on a trip to Europe, giving a master class on bootlicking.

Ladies and gentlemooks, the director of the FBI.

These are Nuremberg-style rules and laws to make trans people disappear.

Trump released a criminal thug from prison. The criminal thug promptly went to the Capitol and attacked a woman. This is what they want. These are their brownshirts.

This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.

Rufo is a bad faith actor who weaponizes hate. He’s going to get people killed. Those who continue to platform and amplify him are bad people.

I’d like to think I’m the first person to get into a flame war with VPOTUS from the swimming pool of Woburn Center Parcs at half-term.

it’s comforting to imagine that nothing could’ve been done to prevent our current disaster, or at least that nobody could’ve known. but the truth is, since jan 7th, 2021, many people have been loudly yelling that we could end up right where we are now if the people in power didn’t change course

Make Nazis afraid to salute in public again

Steve Bannon, the Ernst Röhm of American fascism, gave CPAC the Nazi salute they were all waiting for, smiling like an absolute moron.

No ICE detention facility is safe. New Mexico can’t regulate ICE, but we can refuse to be complicit in its abuses.

President Musk is going to fire your postman. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

We’re going to send hundreds of thousands of people into a war zone because fascists want to maintain our nation’s racial purity. Or as an ICE attorney in Dallas recently put it, because they believe America is a white country that should serve white people. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/u...

There's about three elected Democrats who have actually wrapped their brain around what's happening. This isn't one of them. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/n...

Donald Trump was elected with foreign influence. Now he's making sure that nothing gets in the way of that happening again and again. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/b...
