Elon Musk - Benito Mussolini

We’re honestly on a fast timeline to exactly this.

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy. Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media. That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, museums, and the arts – to prevent us from learning. It's Fascism 101.

I realized being trans is not inherently hard. What makes it hard is other people MAKING IT hard for us on purpose. Like, can you imagine someone telling you that you are not who you know you are? For some of us it’s just a continuous gaslighting session.

Difference?

On this Easter Sunday. Let’s remind ourselves that America changed Christianity to align with their beliefs, instead of changing themselves to align with Christianity.

Under Hegseth, the Naval Academy removed books (Maya Angelou out, Mein Kampf in🤔) — then canceled a speech by Ryan Holiday who was going to talk about the importance of reading uncomfortable ideas. Where’s the “free speech” Crowd on all this? www.nytimes.com/2025/04/19/o...

It was entirely clear this is what they were doing. They say it's about immigrants but nothing would stop them from using this on citizens. It's a clear violation of the privacy act. They're combining databases from DHS, HHS, SSA, and IRS to surveil everyone. www.wired.com/story/doge-c...

Punch a bully in the nose and see what happens

Tonight is the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s midnight ride. May his memory remind us all to resist the tyranny forming in our government.

Thank you @booker.senate.gov @corybooker.com for being an ally and a defender of democracy. #TheReformers

Sometimes I share spaces with others, brief and mainly fleeting moments. It's relieving when they don't make their gawking at me overtly noticeable. The wish I always knew to be impossible, Given, then yanked away by those who couldn't bear what I have seen and felt. (1/4)

We've got Bill Kristol saying abolish ICE and standing up for trans people, David Brooks quoting the communist manifesto, and Sen. Van Hollen forcing a dictator to give proof of life of a hostage in a death camp. Meanwhile, Dems like Newsom are doing podcasts with fascists. Make it make sense.

1. A major bill protecting trans people just passed in Washington. It makes insurers cover 12-month supplies of HRT which can be obtained at pharmacies, allowing trans people to stockpile medication to outlast supply disruptions. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

A whistleblower complaint filed by an IT staffer at the National Labor Relations Board claims Elon Musk and his DOGE team gained access to sensitive data that could have led directly to a “significant cybersecurity breach.” #LockThemUp

Attacking the rights of a marginalised group isn’t a win for feminism. Demanding that women be defined by our biology isn't a win for feminism. The people driving this are not acting in the interests of women. They're taking us all backwards and ushering in the far right.

Nearly 80 public officials and 38 organizations have joined in a letter sent to UPMC demanding the healthcare giant continue saving the lives of transgender youth.

✅ DEI Employer of the Day "At Chobani, we champion diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging in every part of the company. Since day one, diversity and inclusion have been a foundational part of our ethos, our policies, and our guiding voice. And will continue to be as we move on the path forward"

Meta is censoring searches for "El Salvador mega prison" as CSAM. They control social media and are ensuring that no one will see the truth of what the US is doing.

Senator Chris Van Hollen says that he hasn’t been able to meet with Kilmar Abrego Garcia nor has he been able to have a phone call with him. He doesn’t know his health status. Unacceptable. El Salvador needs to show proof of life!!!!!

“Canceled sailings.” “Blank sailings.” The freight market is telling you everything you need to know about the coming wave of scarcity. @cnbc.com @loriannlarocco.bsky.social www.cnbc.com/2025/04/16/t...

This is the kind of thing that, if true, leads to life sentences for treason

People need to understand that it won't matter what the specifics of thy UK supreme court decision are. The GCs control the media narrative and implementation of it in the labour government. It'll effectively mean legal segregation of trans people and the elimination of legal recognition such as IDs

Also correct. Damn, Adam, 2-for-2 tonight.

If you had a buck for every time the HHS Secretary says “I don’t know,” you’d never have to work again. When asked if RFK Jr. personally approved over $11B in cuts that could gut infectious disease and mental health programs, he says he’s not familiar — then blames the cuts on DEI. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Don’t let them fool you.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

I have really good news to announce to everyone. Because of our reporting and many readers contacting Planned Parenthood of Arizona, the organization will NOT over comply with Trump, and is restarting its trans adult care. Good work everyone.

BREAKING: Elon Musk’s DOGE team allegedly accessed sensitive union data from the NLRB, disabled monitoring tools, and deleted logs. Shortly after, suspicious login attempts from Russian IP addresses were detected. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

Seems like a time to spread this around again...

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

AOC: When he talks about rapists and criminals, he should look in the mirror

AOC: We saw Majorie Taylor Greene buy that dip. How much did you make? How much did you make off of people’s despair? How much did you make off of that panic? How much did you make off of that suffering? No more. We can’t accept it

A MORAL CRISIS “The rule of law is being trampled. Innocent people are being disappeared. Court orders are being ignored. If you claim to love this country—if you believe in the Constitution, due process, order, and justice—this must be your line in the sand.” Take 3 minutes. This is important.

On this day, April 14, 2025, the President of the United States openly defied the Supreme Court’s unanimous opinion of April 10, 2025, ordering him to “facilitate Abrego Garcia’s release from custody in El Salvador
