Thanks ACLS! WE NEED MORE VOICES!

A good speech. Turning it into act is necessary, otherwise they do not care....

The importance of calling a Court Supreme. And of course the arrogance of Rubio’s ignorance and subservience

today, 60 years ago. Today... the House must be defended. All blue states should do it. For democracy--small d.

This explanation by @velshi.com of what Trump is doing with ICE, while hollowing out the FBI, is dead on the money. We need to pay attention now, before it's too late. I had the good fortune to join him for this segment. Do not miss this. www.msnbc.com/ali-velshi/w...

The administration that is now using protests in Los Angeles to justify federalizing the National Guard supported Trump when he pardoned January 6 protestors who overran the Capitol.

… National Guard deployed on 6/7 … a week before 6/14!!! Let us guess…

Dear WH: do you think posting this anti-semitic?

Read the story: the guy unfairly detained may not even think he was unfairly detained. A political strategy to protect the elections that can take this cult very seriously needs to be invented. The ‘cultists’ allow everything even self-harm.

AI may improve weather forecasting but at what price if the algorithm is held in private companies? on.ft.com/47GFJG7

How about a worldwide general strike to stop Netanyahu’s genocide? It would be unprecedented (is it?)and difficult but not infeasible… BASTA. STOP MURDERING.

1/It’s important to not lose sight of the facts. Despite his election to the presidency, Donald Trump is a convicted felon. Two fed'l cases, each bringing serious charges voted on by a grand jury, were dismissed—only because Trump won the election. joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...

‘’To put it bluntly, the most powerful people in the world are preparing for the end of the world, an end they themselves are frenetically accelerating.’’ Sounds unreal? Only if you are not part of the group that can exit.

Sad. He was an important voice.

Conservative former federal judge says Trump has ‘declared war’ on US rule of law

John Roberts made Trump’s authoritarianism possible. He could still save his own legacy

If you let the executive deport people to a foreign gulag just by pronouncing the word “terrorism,” then expect to be called a “terrorist” soon yourself.

DOGE “seemed unsure” of what USAID programs they cut and is now attempting to reverse some of the cuts, says @propublica.org reporter Brett Murphy. “This is the opposite of a careful review."

I am thinking that the word ‘monster’ I’ve so far used to refer to that inhuman was unfair to monsters. Building on Orange Agent I’ll call him Agent Orange. Very suitable considering his lethality and that he is an agent (of Putin and oligarchs.)

When are the Democratic Senators and House members going to call this coup such? I respect the electoral results. But along with it there is the unconstitutional occupation of the government by Musk: that is a coup too. Semantic fields can be enlarged in times of fascist danger.
