Especially pussy-ass bitch fascism

If the National Governors Association chooses to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization. We should be standing as one against the idea that Donald Trump can call up the National Guard against our will.

If you come for my people, you come through me.

God they are so good

I will not back down. Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power. What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

California is the manufacturing capital of America, period. We create more jobs, produce more goods, and drive more innovation than anywhere else in the country — because what gets built in California shapes the future and powers the U.S. economy.

New Hampshire has some real people in it.

Remember when conservatives were really big on States rights? yeah.

Given ice using uhaul to transport kidnapped victims, maybe a boycott of uhaul is in order? Maybe state politicians can ban the use of such vehicles by federal agents.

Just confirmed I'm one of the author victims of the blood sucking company Anthropic that stole my book to train it's LLM. I filed a claim and it felt really good. If you're an author who may have been victimized, you can find out here: secure.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com/lookup/?_gl=...

Love her so much

I'm not a religious person, but there are a few people I consider saints. She was one. Thank you for all your tireless work!

This is a VERY well crafted lawsuit. 1) Plaintiff is natural born. 2) He was detained 2X in a fast-growing part of Alabama, not in a city that Brett Kavanaugh could be easily duped into believing was all migrants. 3) Unwarranted detentions were on private property. 4) He showed Real ID both times.

As a result of President Trump’s suspension of foreign aid, hundreds of USAID shipments of antimalarial and HIV medical supplies arrived late at regional warehouses in dozens of countries. Many did not arrive at all. The consequences were deadly. wapo.st/42MUM0M

Trump Audibly Counting Non-White Generals

"I'm not saying [the Michigan church shooter] was motivated by his support for Trump or that he's a rightwing terrorist. I'm just saying by the rules established by the right... they're responsible for this shooting in Michigan, per their own logic." - me, today Full show: zeteo.com/p/the-suspec...

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

Our health care system was already in crisis before Republicans came in and slashed a trillion dollars. Here’s the truth: our system can't absorb these cuts and keep providing health care to everyone who needs it. Any budget we pass must restore health care.

www.newsweek.com/copy-califor... The measure would also keep abortion drugs like mifepristone available even if the FDA revokes its approval.

Mississippi, on the other hand, with a GOP governor, state house and state senate, ranks * 45th in business starts * 46th in academic performance * 51st in health care * 49th in venture capital But tell me again how the GOP is good for the economy

FDA approved the abortion pill mifepristone 25 years ago. So why is RFK Jr. raising questions about it now? He's trying to roll back abortion access nationwide. I'll keep fighting against attempts to restrict access—because medication abortion is safe and effective. Period.

"Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars. This one sounds even more lucrative.” Bowing down to a bully never works. And we can’t become numb to this corruption in plain sight.

Next necessary step is for police to arrest ICE agents for failing to comply (once this ban takes effect). Authoritarian slides rely on people not holding the line on their rights and being convinced to just hand over their power. The states need to push back before it gets much harder to do so.

In honor of the Rapture

"history is also going to remember the cowards who definitely knew better but still let things happen—whether it was for money, convenience, or just comfort. Use ... the only phrase that can genuinely make a weak bully go away: F**k you. Make me.”" www.pajiba.com/news/john-ol...

Remember that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people."

Thank you for coming to my Teddy talk.

Mark my words (wow I sound 80), YouTube is next in the administration’s sights. Fascist regimes must control the flow of information.

‘Derp derp derp Lincoln was a Republican derp’

People are feeling impotent and despairing in the face of fascism. Disney, trying to appease, became a way to push back. Disney’s fucked. They will bleed as people focus their ire on an available target. If they back down, people won’t rush back, and the regime will make an example of them.

With the caveat that we don't know how long this is gonna go, "modern Disney built a profit strategy around cruises and parks that only affluent suburbanites can afford" and "affluent suburbanites are increasingly diehard libs" are two facts that could end up being chekhov's gun and bullet.
