Happy Trump Taco Thursday to all who celebrate. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Our rulers are evil. Fight every day in whatever small ways you can to end their tyranny. Even if it’s only one penny, send what money you are able to relief organizations to fill at least some part of the gap. Hold the dead and suffering in your heart. Hold on to your contempt for the evildoers.

The big beautiful tax bill has a provision for a $1.4 billion cut in the fees to buy and register a silencer. Imagine how many children will die in Africa because we needed their $1.4 billion in USAID food to pay for making silencers cheaper. Never lose sight of the evil we need to fight.

So this Newark mayor getting arrested is going to end up standing out above the crowd of illegality like the Kilmar situation, right? This could be a galvanizing thing for the pro-democracy side, right? I know it will because this one has my full and undivided attention. Nope. This ain’t happening

I have something that Trump and Elon will never have: Enough. It changes life once you have it, and all but the poorest of people can attain it with the right mindset. Once you have enough, be it money or power, a focus on others and on service follows. A focus Trump and Elon will never have.

To observe the loss of my country’s honor is embarrassing and painful. Let’s get it back. I feel tired, but let’s make it our new part-time job. Let’s get our country’s honor back.

Tariffs will be used to cut taxes for billionaires. Therefore tariffs are a billionaire assistance tax we all will pay. The average American family is set to pay about $400/mo in billionaire assistance taxes. The poor will pay the rich. We should hammer this over and over in those simple terms.

I still have enough naïveté remaining to believe that one day handcuffs will be slapped on the wrists of current Trump regime officials and they’ll have to answer for the crimes they’ve committed. True healing, reform, deterrence, and restoration of our republic will depend on it.

250 years ago, patriots lit two lanterns in the steeple of Old North Church in Boston to warn their neighbors of the approaching forces of tyranny. Me, my daughter, and her boyfriend lit ours today with a couple thousand of our friends in Baltimore. Join us next time. Videos in comments. #protests

In case you need to renew your outrage and treat any creeping complacency…

This is about our government kidnapping people and sending them to a concentration camp and what the implications of that are. We have to be clear about where we are. We can’t stop fighting. The end of the road for the U.S. is frighteningly close. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/has-americ...

Forget courts, law, state secrets, El Salvador’s sovereignty and all that bullshit. The ‘cool dictator’ would let Trump sit on his face if Trump asked and everybody knows it. Trump won’t tell Bukkake to send Garcia back because Trump is a psychopath and a fascist. We are witnessing unvarnished evil.

Like all of us, this man gets only one life to live on this earth. One chance to experience family, walk beneath the blue sky, laughter, friendships, the chance to contribute through his work, and every other joy of being alive. Trump took that away. Death while still living. Justice must be done.

The latest from @cliffcashcomedy.bsky.social. You must follow this man if you aren’t. This one is just the right combination of righteous anger and hilarious comedy. youtu.be/zxfyT7U89Fw?...

I feel like I’m standing in a burning house while so many people are in the living room watching TV thinking the flames are mood lighting while I’m screaming “Fire!” If you’re reading this, I bet you know that feeling.

It’s probably too common to say “history repeats itself.” Yet here we are. These are Thomas Paine’s words from his pamphlet “The American Crisis” (1776).

I have a feeling this post from almost a month ago will continue to be true for the foreseeable future.

This isn’t a fun read. But it’s important we allow ourselves to fully grasp just how bad and in many ways irreversible the damage inflicted by our fascist regime is. You and I still have to try to mitigate it. America’s place in the world will never be the same. open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Today was a good day for us friends. Redouble your efforts. We can pull this back. Celebrate today and then it’s back to work. Thank you @booker.senate.gov. Thank you Wisconsin. Thank you Florida 1 and 6. Take note Republicans. Get yourself on the right side of things. We’re coming.

This is fascism. By any definition. Just like Nazi collaborators reporting people to the Gestapo. No difference whatsoever. Please be in the streets making your voice heard.

It took me a while to fully accept this, because it’s tough to swallow. But our government is now fascist. They haven’t had a chance yet to fully entrench it, but they are trying. They are fascist. This is as plain as anything could be. Fighting it is what true patriotism is.
