Call your representatives (if your government is open…) and demand the safe return of these illegally arrested volunteers attempting to break the siege demanding the worlds attention on Gaza, and DEMAND an end to our complicity in an ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people.

“I do not celebrate the killing of anyone. Charlie Kirk did not deserve to be assassinated. But I’m overwhelmed seeing the flags of the United States of America at half-staff, calling this nation to honor and venerate a man who was an unapologetic racist and spent all of his life…

“And what about us? We are failing the test of our humanity. Too many media, governments, companies, universities, too many guilty consciences and dirty hands. This genocide bears our fingerprints. It’s under our eyes. Denying it today means being ignorant, or complicit.” — Francesca Albanese

“In The revolution will not be televised, we were saying…the first change that takes place is in your mind. You have to change your mind before you change the way you live and the way you move…. I’m on the wrong page, or I’m on the right page but on the wrong note. . . ” - Gil Scott-Heron.

“What we are doing in Gaza now is a war of devastation: indiscriminate, limitless, cruel and criminal killing of civilians. It’s the result of government policy - knowingly, evilly, maliciously, irresponsibly dictated. Yes, Israel is committing war crimes,” —Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert

Shame. Such a betrayal. This is not what we should be doing. I don’t even know why we’re fighting with Greenland. We’re fighting with Greenland, Canada, and Mexico—yet we’re in love with Putin?! What is happening? Like, this is not America.” — U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett #letterpress #linotype

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

“Do not speak of “our institutions” unless you make them yours by acting on their behalf.  Institutions do not protect themselves.  They fall one after the other unless each is defended from the beginning. — Excerpted from ON TYRANNY: Twenty Lessons from the 20th Century by Timothy Snyder, Chapter 2

Or, how I learned to stop worrying and love childhood deseases… “It’s only the children who will suffer his ignorance. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a science denialist. He makes up his own scientific truths and ignores the actual truths,” - Dr. Paul Offit. SPOILER ALERT: Neither movie ends well.

Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked.  A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do. “ — Timothy Snyder, On Tyranny

“But the eggs were just so expensive.”

Reminder: you didn’t dream this

It's clear that Donald Trump seeks to shift the U.S. toward fascism, and in fact is doing so in real-time in front of our eyes. Earlier this week, Jay Kuo analyzed Trump's proposed fascist policies through the lens of Professor Ruth Ben-Ghiat's expert warnings of where we are headed.

In this Ohio diner, it was a tradition: hash browns and eggs, big cup of Folgers, then log onto your adopted son’s PayPal account to send money to hookers. But now the woke mob is taking all of that away.
