NEW: For the last several months, I have written and spoken regularly about the rise of authoritarianism in the United States. This is not something I ever envisioned for myself — and it is certainly not something my ancestors envisioned for their great grandchildren.

FAR RIGHT EXTREMIST MAGA ARE UNHINGED. These *domestic terrorists* are robbing *all of us* of our peace, love, freedom, justice & sanity. ACCOUNTABILITY. NOW. 🆘🇺🇸

“No one man can terrorize a whole nation, unless we are all his accomplices.” -Edward R. Murrow

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE Truth: No cars rammed ICE Claim: She boxed ICE in Truth: ICE boxed her in Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE Truth: She did not have a rifle Claim: ICE returned fire Truth: Only ICE fired Claim: She drove herself to the hospital Truth: Paramedics found her

BREAKING: Stephen Miller—both Trump Administration capo and de facto head of DHS, ICE, and DOJ, has just declared that peaceful protesters are "street terrorists." Under an executive order signed by Trump just days ago, that means he is saying that all protesters in America can be arrested on sight.

THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time. Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense. 🧵

Can people imagine being lead by a authoritarian wannabe who doesn't even understand what his job description is as a President? Many of these people who are in these positions in our federal government far as political figures,advisors,secretary and directors have no decorum.

Then the accusations started inside my head. You're jealous. You're not grateful enough. You cut off (abusive) family members. You disagree with things the preacher says. You're rebellious. You hang out with non-believers. You're a single mother who left her abusive "christian" husband.

Interesting how Eric & Don Jr.Trump, both are posing for the camera with their father's spiritual advisor who took advantage of a 12 year old. He admitted to his action by pledging guilty. He was sentenced to 10 years in jails but he only serves 6 months. This isn't justice it's favoritism.

Judge Immergut isn’t playing around and I suspect will slam the Trump Administration for trying to end-run her order from yesterday blocking Trump’s call-up of Oregon’s National Guard in Portland.

Illinois law authorizes @govpritzker.illinois.gov to reactivate the Illinois State Guard. Normally they’re just a kind of extra reserve, but state defense forces are outside the National Guard system, they can’t be federalized. He should do so. As he accurately put it, his state is being invaded.

In other news, Stephen Miller, an American Jew, has had his first name legally changed to "Adolph" and opened a salvage company called Stephen's Sonderkommando Goldteeth Recycling GMBH.

The most watched network on cable was so successful at getting voters to vote against their own best interests they were rewarded with over 30 govt. roles to continue to entertain MAGA, including the largest military on the planet.

The idea of using the trust of the ignorant to turn them against their best interests has only been updated from Religion to Milti-media by the wealthy.

Both are "entertainment".

Long haired old guy saw it coming.

The southern strategy is very effective at redirecting their anger away from the 1% and instead at whatever FOX News tells them to be outraged about.

Will they EVER get it?

Greta Thunberg is dominating global headlines. Everyone’s eyes are on her.

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE: This statement is a clear example of what is known as “State Terrorism”: When the dictatorship will order all instruments of its state security & intelligence apparatus against its own citizens to terrorize the population.

The GOP is willing to shut the government down to keep their secrets. They will grind the machinery of the country to a halt rather than risk a vote that might expose who they protect. That is not theory. That is not rhetoric. That is fact. They have chosen recess over reckoning.

A Chicago citizen confronts the hypocrisy of a fellow Hispanic man working for ICE, shaming him and making a powerful point by asking how his family ended up in the United States.

Spiritual advisor preying on the vulnerable. Hopefully, the judge throws the maximum sentence at him.

When people put their trust in their local pastor their pastor dark skeleton comes out the closet. Real Christians don't do this type of thing to vulnerable children.

Very few of these pro-life folks have known folks who died in childbirth and it shows. My mother was hardcore pro-choice. She came to puberty in the 40s, & grew up in segregated Georgia where Black folks were denied equal healthcare. She knew several women & girls who had died in childbirth.

A fed judge is on the verge of dismissing Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s manufactured criminal indictment & finding that the Trump Administration & DOJ has committed prosecutorial abuse & vindictive prosecution which will provide a roadmap for all other Dem targets of Trump in their cases, including Comey.

Federal agents hurled tear gas at people on a busy Logan Square street, outside a grocery store and near an elementary school. Reckless, undertrained ICE hires are a danger to everyone. This is terrorism against US citizens.

Listen, there are a lot of influencers who get their content from legacy media and investigative journalism and then tell you not to support legacy media or investigative journalism. That’s grifting.

Some times in America we have the exact right President in office to lead in crucial moments (i.e. Lincoln). But at other times we have the exact wrong President in office (i.e. Andrew Johnson). Today we have the worst President in our history in office at a most crucial moment.

Nothing says America First like bailing out Argentina while making healthcare unaffordable for 20+ million Americans. Or signing an Article 5 protection treaty with Qatar coz they bribed you with a plane, while screwing over longstanding NATO allies. Folks, I think America First might be a scam.

The obscene face of Christian Nationalism: outlandish untaxed wealth in defiance of Jesus. Oh, and this time, slave laborers, too! Glory! Just remember, for any money you give to Heaven, there is always a 100% handling fee here on Earth.

This is fascism out in the open. Democracy is dead. Wake the fuck up, people. Stop pretending it will end without more violence, bloodshed, and death. And for god's sake, stop insisting I'm pessimistic or telling people to obey in advance. An informed populace can fight back more effectively.

There is no Left or Rights any more; no Democrats, no Republicans. There is only Fash and AntiFash. Buckle up for the next decade or so.

AIPAC needs to be designated as a foreign terrorist organization, it's a shill for a Fascist regime. Clearly neither this regime nor this Congress will do so, if we manage to remain intact for 2028 I'd like to see presidential candidates at the very least recognize it as a problem and call it out.

We've had fuckups in the White House before, but never a president who seemed so deliberately intent on being a fuckup. It's been said before, but if these people were actual agents of an enemy power seeking to divide, dismantle and destroy the USA they wouldn't be doing anything different.

so the US government just forced a tech company to delete an app it doesn’t like, which is totally normal stuff www.404media.co/iceblock-own...

Pope Leo XIV says, "Those against abortion but in favor of the death penalty are not really pro-life." I couldn't agree more

The GOP health care for immigrants lie is an old one. Here’s me six years ago:

The Billionaires Have Been Sucking the Rest of Us Dry Since 1989—And It’s Worse Than You Think The 905 billionaires in the U.S. hold a combined $7.8 trillion in wealth, giving those at the very top political influence and power that undermines our democracy while working people scrape to get by.

Sanders: I am not a great fan of the affordable care act. I believe in medicare for all. I think that health care is a human right, but I will be damned if I'm going to see people in Vermont and around this country see a doubling in their premiums.

And that's how we treat the kids.

Is it more romantic when... 1. You’ve got a partner who respects yours/their own independence and still chooses to be with you, even when you’re seeing other meaningful people? 2. You’re with someone who drops all their past and current relationships just to be with you? #ENM #Relationships

She has walked herself into a bear trip that will cost her some serious problems. Will she go under investigation for violating ethics policies and procedures?

I don't want 100 troops sent to Chicago. It's a major escalation that must be opposed. I also want folks to understand that the agents that have been attacking us at Broadview are more heavily armed and elaborately, tactically outfitted than National Guard troops would be. We're already in some shit

We need millions of people to flood the streets. When military personnel see the large presence of millions of Americans on the streets and bringing everything to a gridlock, hopefully they will get the message the people are sending. Many military veterans will stand shoulder to shoulder as one.

(2) Let's make this as clear as a bell. "YOUR OATH IS TO THE CONSTITUTION NOT ANY ONE PERSON". Alternatively: "YOUR OATH IS TO PROTECT THE CONSTITUTION AND CITIZENS OF THE USA". No shouts, no shoving, no Anything. Just ....one.... message.
