Trump is now pissing off MAGA influencers and politicians. The Nobel Peace Prize went to a woman who courageously worked to move Venezuela from autocracy back to democracy. Is there going to be a total meltdown? We can hope. open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

Fascism is clearly here now, the open question is how do we resist and overturn it to recover some semblance of democracy. Neoliberalism has been in high gear since Reagan and has now evolved into White Christian nationalist authoritarianism. open.substack.com/pub/luciantr...

Twelve steps to authoritarianism. We are well along the way. open.substack.com/pub/thomhart...

The new Big Lie, that radical left violence is a danger to the country, is used as an excuse for oppression. It is well documented that the vast majority of radical violence is from the right. Meanwhile the rich and powerful commit crimes with impunity. open.substack.com/pub/thomhart...

Republicans should step up and support impeachment, or be remembered as the failed party that enabled a fascist coup to end democracy to succeed. Many traditional Republicans already recognize the danger and oppose Trump. open.substack.com/pub/thomhart...

Have we had enough wake-up calls yet? It’s past time for the sleeping giant to roar. open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

Join the paper clip protest! open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Support among the electorate for the regime’s attacks on the Constitution and the rule of law is eroding rapidly. Even some voices on the right are speaking up about the attacks on freedom of expression. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Will Americans now realize that the line between freedom and fascism has been crossed? The First Amendment is being violated daily. Due process under the law is being ignored. Corruption is rampant. How much more evidence is needed before we act in mass? open.substack.com/pub/thomhart...

Trump can’t take a joke. He has no sense of humor except to try to ridicule his enemies. Even right wing voices are calling out his violations of the First Amendment. Are these cracks in the foundation of tyranny that will lead to its collapse? open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

We the People must be the final guardrails against fascist authoritarianism. We are antifa. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Stating the truth can get you cancelled. open.substack.com/pub/luciantr...

Those Brits certainly know how to welcome a fascist. substack.com/@philipschaf...

I’m proud to be a far left radical. If you are not, please state which points in the article you disagree with. open.substack.com/pub/thomhart...

Its hard to control 340 million people. We must make it impossible. open.substack.com/pub/liberali...

Investigating, firing, and deporting people over negative comments about “martyr” Charlie Kirk is a new low in violation of First Amendment rights. open.substack.com/pub/thomhart...

Truer words… substack.com/@philipschaf...

The GOP has long been subverting elections through voter suppression, gerrymandering, closing polling places, and other election subversion measures. Now this most fundamental right is under attack by the aspiring dictator. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

The GOP has now completely embraced fascist White Christian nationalism. If we are to recover some semblance of democracy we must reject them and their poisonous rhetoric. open.substack.com/pub/thomhart...

Judges and former officials are blocking and calling out the illegal and harmful actions of the regime while Prof HCR and other independent media voices document the destruction of democracy and the movement towards autocracy. It is up to all of us to resist. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Governor JB Pritzker shows what resistance to tyranny looks like. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Fascism is already here. If we fail to vigorously resist now the opportunity will be past. open.substack.com/pub/thomhart...

HCR reviews the history of how Republicans came to put party over country and, now, how they have put raw power over everything, going from faux conservatism to outright fascism. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Trump and his clown circus get taken down a peg or two, while Zelenskyy brings a European posse to DC. open.substack.com/pub/dworkin/...

Trump has poked the bear. We should all join the Bear State in punching back. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

The GOP keeps accusing Democrats of stealing elections but that is simply projection. The only way the Republicans can win is by cheating: gerrymandering, voter suppression, and help from a corrupt partisan Supreme Court. open.substack.com/pub/zeteo/p/...

We badly need a new voting rights act. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and other election subversion techniques are undemocratic and enable minority control of our political system. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Illegal actions are a feature, not a bug, in the Project 2025 blueprint for the destruction of democracy. Lies are required because the truth about their objectives is profoundly unpopular. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Trump’s America is founded on disinformation, fear, and intimidation. It takes courage to fight back and solidarity to overcome. open.substack.com/pub/oliviaju...

Trump’s latest executive order “Ending Crime and Disorder on America’s Streets” may be his most dangerous yet. It allows citizens to be taken off the streets and imprisoned without due process. open.substack.com/pub/thejackh...

Trump is an existential threat to democracy. His death toll is increasing dramatically with cuts to USAID, and domestic deaths and financial harm will increase as the provisions of the OBBB cutting Medicaid, food aid, etc. kick in. open.substack.com/pub/thomhart...

Let’s all be woke radical leftists and make the country and the world better. open.substack.com/pub/johnpavl...

Why??? open.substack.com/pub/thomhart...

Destruction of essential Federal agencies including FEMA and the Department of State continues, even as polling shows the policies of the regime are deeply unpopular, and MAGA comes apart at the seams over the Epstein client list and ICE overreach. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Lack of accurate weather prediction is a deadly hazard. Lack of FEMA response will impose severe hardship and result in uncompensated losses. substack.com/@adamkinzing...

Let's have a We society, not a Me society. open.substack.com/pub/thomhart...

Reverse Robin Hood. Take from the poor, increasing their misery and mortality, to give more to the rich and corporations. Cripple vital Federal Government functions. Set up the mechanics to enforce an authoritarian regime in the process. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Disappearances and deportations in secret and without due process are hallmarks of fascist authoritarian regimes and are designed to instill fear. We must all demand that they be stopped. open.substack.com/pub/thomhart...

GOP policies are deadly. open.substack.com/pub/deanobei...

Zohran Mamdani is showing Democrats how to win. They would be well advised to accept the precepts of democratic socialism. open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

End the oligarchy! substack.com/@tiggertoon/...

More such political violence is sure to follow. open.substack.com/pub/jimstewa...

The polling is trending in a good direction, but what is shocking to me is that disapproval is not higher and approval lower. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Our society is suffering an epidemic of mental illness. Pathological narcissism and psychopathy are widely seen in our leadership. Their spread was predicted, yet we elected a government rife with those characteristics and are now suffering the consequences. open.substack.com/pub/bandyxle...

As long as we allow big money to dominate our politics we will not recover democracy. We must overturn Citizens United and institute electoral reform to make the interests of the majority a priority rather than those of the oligarchy. open.substack.com/pub/thomhart...

Bernie has been right all along. We should have paid attention sooner. We must act now before dictatorship is too entrenched to overcome. open.substack.com/pub/thewomen...

The anti-intellectual “Second American Revolution” of White Christian nationalists is attacking schools, colleges, and universities because a “liberal” education and critical thinking skills are a threat to impose their backward belief system on society. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

The thing about this is it won’t make a damn bit of difference to the Trump administration but it will (rightly) disgust and turn off the PBS audience that the network needs to rally for support against Trump’s cuts

Canada should refuse entry to the convicted felon. substack.com/@worldwearyw...

Shameful is the word. Taking from the poor to benefit the rich is unconsciencable. How can MAGA Mike claim to be a Christian? open.substack.com/pub/steady/p...
