Is #MAGA finally catching on? robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-tho...

www.youtube.com/shorts/vxtMF... What the #media and #journalism was, can, and should be...but isn't (at least for now).

Question: What the HELL is #Antifa? Answer: It doesn't exist. There is no organization called "Antifa". It is a phantom evil created by would-be tyrants that can morph anyone who opposes them into "the enemy from within". snyder.substack.com/p/when-anti-...

The persecution is the point. An expensive point. Trump is proving that he can get anyone charged with any crime any.time.he.wants.to. Perhaps may not be convicted, but your life will ruined either way. Make no mistake - becoming poor in America ruins your life.

#MAGA is upset that #Trump didn't receive the 2025 #NobelPeacPrize? Really? Maybe he'd get further if he stopped blowing up boats in #Venezuela and invading our cities with #ICE/#NationalGuard to deport working immigrants to 3rd world gulags? Just a thought. aaronparnas.substack.com/p/news-maga-...

#Data is everything. A government that is allergic to gathering, disseminating and publishing valid data, is turning the lights out on the #economy, #PublicHealth, #science. You turn the lights out on these, you turn the lights out on #democracy. robertreich.substack.com/p/turning-ou...

Public Servants don't do what they do for fame or money. They're dedicated to their work and nation, proving that not everyone is driven by $$$. Want money? Try Wall Street instead. These #PublicServants deserved better. The least we can do is thank them. robertreich.substack.com/p/a-letter-t...

What's new? "Junk #HealthInsurance"? Wait, that's not new. MAGA types deeply mourned their loss when they were outlawed. Now they're back! People will happily pay the cheap premium They will also discover it's a scam when they get a bad diagnosis. healthcareuncovered.substack.com/p/with-retur...

Ideas - even those as elusive and theoretical like #Antifa have a nasty habit of becoming #policy in an #authoritarian #dictatorship. The opposition needs to protect the public NOW instead of waiting until it's too late. theintercept.com/2025/09/27/t...

We keep calling Stephen Miller the shadow President. Now you know why. The most powerful unelected psychopath in the world.

Hero of the Day - #JamesComey Yes, Comey is a hero. Why? Because he and his family have said "NO!" to tyranny. But make no mistake, no matter how innocent Comey may be, being indicted by a #DOJ aligned with an authoritarian #dictator wannabe is a terrifying thing. www.nbcnews.com/video/comey-...

Great article on defining "ANTIFA" and inoculating Americans against non-existent conspiracies and anti-American villians. #ANTIFA deanblundell.substack.com/p/antifa-are...

Barry Blitt's "Remote Control" on the cover of the "New Yorker" says it all... It pairs well with the Washington Post's former slogan "Democracy Dies in Darkness"...

It doesn't take a lot of evil people to destroy our world. They have that power because they are unencumbered by pesky moral values that mandate civilized constraint.

Is Medicare next on the chopping block. Of course it is. Traditional Medicare can become yet another cash cow for the already rich to exploit. Too bad it will result in poor care and premature death. prospect.org/blogs-and-ne...

Charlie Kirk - in his own words. This is the guy that just got an official "Day of Remembrance" with a bipartisan vote in the House and Senate? Seriously? There wasn't any such consideration for MN State Rep Melissa Horton who was also assassinated. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

No modern nation can survive without #allies and #trading partners. But when you lose the good will of your former allies by throwing tariffs around like confetti, THIS is what happens. deanblundell.substack.com/p/breaking-c...

Heroes Of the Day: JB Pritzker & Brandon Johnson: Governor of Illinois, #JBPritzker and #Chicago Mayor, #BrandonJohnson were relentless in their opposition to Trump sending the #NationalGuard and #military to "wage war" in #Chicago forcing Trump to back off. www.axios.com/2025/09/12/t...

One of the best assessments of the #CharlieKirk #assassination by #SteveSchmidt. • There is NO excuse for murder • Charlie Kirk was living in a dark place fomenting bigotry, hate, and misogyny Therefore, he is not a national hero. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsEv...

How other countries see the United States. And no, it's nothing to be proud of.... www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vDN...

Anyone who thinks that this #SupremeCourt has a ounce of integrity remaining hasn't been paying attention. 6 of the 9 Justices are permanently in the Trump Camp and have betrayed our nation and Constitution. The result of yesterday's decision:a permanent underclass. www.mind-war.com/p/dred-scott...

State against state - a country shredded at the seams. That's what's ahead unless we turn the tide. It is a Civil War redux where brother fought against brother. www.theunpopulist.net/p/trumps-lea...

My mother introduced me to "The Great Dictator". I never understood from movie clips what drew America to Chaplin. But that speech at the end of the movie said it all. Demagogues are magnetic in all the wrong ways. Chaplin channeled his magnetism for the good. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7GY...

Are #Americans FINALLY waking up to the reality of Trump? To what an #authoritarian #dictatorship actually means for them and their families? Perhaps...I just hope and pray that there is enough momentum in the resistance to move it forward... robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-tho...

Heroes of the day: All those protesting and taking to the streets as #resistance to federal interference and #occupation. They are demonstrating the strength of democratic values and the rejection of authoritarianism with no small risk to themselves. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/in-dc-and-...

Is the "upgraded" funding for #ICE really protection for #Trump in the event of a #coup? At the present time, this is actually plausible - and on-point. lucid.substack.com/p/why-trump-...

#MinneapolisShooting When the victims are children... This is simply heart-breaking. No kid that age should have to go through this kind of trauma. This whole event will be with this brave child for the rest of his life. www.youtube.com/shorts/o1c4g...

RFK's performance is a perfect example of "Your brain on drugs." Question: Does RFK even know his own name? www.youtube.com/shorts/GihMD...

This is the face of #genocide. It's people starving to death, being slowly exterminated. We need to look at it - square in the face and do everything in our power to stop it. We haven't been doing this because it is too far removed from us. www.dropsitenews.com/p/pregnant-m...

War v Genocide: #War is war and #genocide is genocide. They are NOT the same. Our media sources need to distinguish the difference between them honestly and without prejudice or fear of retribution. www.dropsitenews.com/p/bbc-civil-...

Peer review has been the foundation upon which discovery, invention, and innovation have thrived. Is it perfect? No. Can it have a bias? Yes. But throwing expertise out the window in favor of uninformed Googling and AI prompts is a recipe recipe for disaster. www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/pres...

Today is the 105th Anniversary of the 19th Amendment The #19thAmendment gave women in the US the right to vote.

Hero of the day: Governor JB Pritzger #GovernorPritzger, Governor of Illinois, asked Donald Trump to keep the National Guard out of Illinois, pointing out that state crime rates went down on their own. The state doesn't need the #NationalGuard to keep citizens safe. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERDR...

The Danger of Unfulfilled Hope: "Hope requires...imagining yourself in a happier future, knowing it might not happen. When the reward doesn’t happen enough times...we become conditioned to not even try.” The biggest danger right now is that we'll stop trying.. www.mind-war.com/p/gavin-euro...
