The story of 2024 is this: Trump had a plan to destroy American government called Project 2025, which had, literally, not a typo, a 4% approval rating. He lied constantly and said he wouldn't do it. Then he entered office and immediately implemented AN EVEN MORE EXTREME VERSION OF IT.

Another day, another PBS affiliate lost. But this time it’s a whole state. NJ PBS will go dark in July, 2026 unless new funding can be found. The state-wide network of channels has served New Jersey for more than 50 years. whyy.org/articles/new... #PBS #NPR

This is actually how an FBI weaponized by the president behaves and is a classic move by authoritarians from Mussolini to Hitler to Stalin, Putin and Pinochet: persecution of perceived political enemies.

That was one of the most batshit press conferences of Trump's public life. He brandished a photo of Putin and promised to deploy the US military to occupy Chicago, New York, and San Francisco. A sane country would be moving toward impeachment and removal right now.

200,000 petition signatures will be delivered to CBS during today’s rally. Add your name to help build the public pushback against CBS’ blatantly political cancellation of Colbert’s top-rated show.

TODAY: We’re rallying at CBS’ studios in NYC. CBS must reverse its politically-charged cancellation of Stephen Colbert’s show. Institutions like CBS obey in advance because they benefit from doing so. Our job as organizers in a time of authoritarian breakthrough is to create countervailing pressure.

Everything is a “redistribution of wealth” — the only question is which direction it’s heading in. Stop letting them convince you the only valid direction is from the bottom to the top. They’ve been selling that snake oil for decades.
