Not to mention that we've also become a nation others are afraid to visit. I've helped a lot of nervous Europeans through it in the past few months. They only came because they had to (professional conference, family needs, etc.). #democracy #NAFO #AntiCorruption #resist #AntiFascist #FreeElections

No longer shocked? I found myself skimming on by this and realized it was because it's boring. It happens so often. If I'm getting desensitized to child rape by powerful men, it's a real epidemic. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles #realfamilyvalues #FuckThePatriarchy #feminist #WomenRights #ChildrensRights

So many reports of US citizens who cooperate being mistreated, injured and detained. Immigrants matter, but when we have so much proof that it isn't about immigrants, we understand that it's about race. #NoOneIsIllegal #FightFascism #fighthate #resist #AntiFascist #AntRacist #unity #StrongerTogether

They said they'd going after "the deep state," like this guy who was a spy chief, for huge crimes. But now it's just that he sent texts criticizing Trump? #DraftTheRich #StopLying #Hypocrisy #FuckOligarchy #antiwar #StopCorruption #FBR #TruthWarriors #FBPE #NAFO #AntiFascist #fucktrump #taxtherich

Boycotts work. If Disney doesn't like mass unsubscribes, other corporate donors and stooges won't either. This is a key tool in the pro-democracy tool kit. #FuckOligarchy #PowerToThePeople #DoNotObey #StopCorruption #climateaction #theresistance #resist #NAFO #AntiFascist #taxtherich #SocialJustice

The question is WHY would one want a dictator? Locally in a red county, we've lost energy assistance funds and several medical providers already from the funding cuts that are just barely beginning to take effect. #FightFascism #fighthate #unity #theresistance #resist #AntiFascist #StrongerTogether

Mussolini called his regime fascist. That's how we got a term for this particular kind of corporate-controlled authoritarianism heavy with racism and misogyny. It's not just a political insult. It's a descriptor. #FightFascism #fighthate #DoNotObey #unity #solidarity #resist #FBPE #NAFO #AntiFascist

If comparing MAGA to Nazis is #illegal according to #Trump, then #MAGA precisely reenacting Nazi moves so that the comparison is impossible not to see should be too. #WeAreTheFlood #defenddemocracy #fighthate #protest #PowerToThePeople #TruthWarriors #theresistance #resist #JimmyKimmel #AntiFascist

I hope some newspapers use a crop where you can easily read the sign.

Some thought the comment was over the top in 2024. Now we know he wasn't exaggerating or being flippant.

The #military notoriously backs the US president, come hell or high water. How #reckless and #unhinged does a #president have to be for top generals with widely divergent viewpoints to agree that he's dangerous? #defenddemocracy #fighthate #protest #theresistance #resist #FBPE #NAFO #AntiFascist

They become enraged when we peacefully protest and sign petitions. They call us terrorists and say we should be "beaten hard" for this. But the right uses guns when they want to express themselves. #Hypocrisy #defenddemocracy #fighthate #protest #GunControl #blue #TruthWarriors #resist #AntiFascist

US citizen, ever posted sorrow over the deaths of Palestinian children? You could be pegged as a supporter of terrorism. A new bill, proposed by Rep. Brian Mast, who once wore an IDF uniform in Congress, would let Marco Rubio revoke your U.S. passport. It's coming up for a hearing TOMORROW, Sept 17.

I wonder if the goal really is to devastate the economy. That's where all these policies obviously lead, but we mostly assume it's incompetence. Is it? #DraftTheRich #oligarchy #antiwar #PowerToThePeople #resist #FBPE #NAFO #AntiFascist #SaveOurDemocracy #socialsecurity #taxtherich #ClassDivide

Integrity is the absence of double standards. It's acknowledging the truth whether it supports your narrative or not. It's accepting accountability when you and yours do wrong. I wish #integrity was still demanded in public discourse. #fighthate #AntiCorruption #TruthWarriors #resist #AntiFascist

Some say Democrats are doing everything they can under the circumstances. This is the kind of thing they could do. They could and should work strategically and work hard to protect the country and to minimize harm. #GunControl #StopViolence #defenddemocracy #fighthate #strategize #resist #organize

It's worth considering why a highly professional #assassin (this was one clean shot and a very tidy getaway) on the political left would choose to kill someone #right-wing who had just started agitating for the release of the #Epstein files. Or was it a #leftist? #StopViolence #GunControl #fighthate

Yesterday, in US, 128 people were killed by gunshots, because this country doesn't regulate guns. One of those killed had very publicly stated that a few gun deaths are worth everyone having the right to have guns. Was it "worth it"? #fighthate #GunControl #Empathy #resist #AntiFascist #organize

MAGA, Trump and ICE are sabotaging the U.S. economy. They couldn't design an economic collapse more effectively if they tried. #FightFascism #fighthate #fotus #NoOneIsIllegal #TruthWarriors #theresistance #resist #FBPE #NAFO #AntiFascist #Disobey #SocialJustice #WealthGap #tarifs #StrongerTogether

Lennon has a point. There may be times when we have to fight for justice and freedom in a physical way. But once you do, you're fighting on their terms. And the chances of winning aren't good. #defenddemocracy #protest #climateaction #unite #resist #FBPE #NAFO #AntiFascist #organize #SocialJustice

Using the same words we use when these things happen in other countries is essential. It keeps us realistic and combats the natural tendency to become numb. #StopTheCoup #DoNotObey #corruption #TruthWarriors #theresistance #resist #FBPE #NAFO #AntiFascist #antiracist #revolution #organize #democracy

Both obsessed with guns & trucks. Both terrified of women with voices and contemptuous of the earth that provides for them. Same testosterone poisoning. Same patriarchy. #feminist #FuckPatriachy #Earth #fighthate #protest #climateaction #compassion #solidarity #AntiFascist #organize #WomensRights

Don't be distracted. I do hope the time is coming. But I also wonder what will happen with direct evidence that he was part of the pedophile ring. There are many MAGA supporters who say there's nothing he could do that would shake their faith. #corruption #fotus #fucktrump #trumpsucks #womensrights

An excellent cartoon that explains much of modern society, except that it isn't to scale and the billionaire's pile would have to be the size of a house to be realistic. #FBR #resist #AntiFascist #revolution #organize #socialsecurity #teamluigi #taxtherich #SocialJustice #WealthGap #ClassDivide

This would totally be my kids' dad's reaction. Then again, he was born in Stalinist Czechoslovakia and became an adult with the Velvet Revolution, so he often finds our current machinations a tad repetitive. #defenddemocracy #protest #disobey #theresistance #resist #FBPE #NAFO #AntiFascist #organize

In rural areas this is true to life. Farmers who thought socially acceptable racism sounded like fun are now feeling the pinch and wondering "Who's next?

Hold the line. No to fascism.

When I was 16, I was an exchange student and my host family was shocked that I'm mostly #blind. "We thought you could be our daughter's friend!" they moaned. I can be an excellent #friend. I'm #loyal, #fun and #adventurous. I'm not just "that nice blind lady in town." I love. #inclusion #exclusion

There are so many parallels to what HitIer did that we lose track: #loyalty oaths, banning books, gutting agencies, #disappearances, #militarization of police, mass #deportations, rounding up the #homeless, targeting #disabled and #LGBTQ people... #AntiFascist #Resist #Organize #FightHate #Disobey

I get that sometimes it's more a matter of not thinking much about how one's #political views impact people and the natural #environment you #love. I know right-wingers who are #kind people but don't want to #think it through. Not thinking deeply is a #values issue. #Empathy #Compassion #Fighthate

Finally a ridiculous headline that's satire! Not real! Reality has managed to be slightly less absurd than The Borowitz Report. Thank goodness for relief to struggling comedians. #humor #DraftTheRich #defenddemocracy #oligarchy #DoNotObey #solidarity #theresistance #resist #AntiFascist #trumpsucks

#August bounty: I have immense #gratitude to the #Earth for continuing, despite it all, to provide both #sustenance and #beauty. Living rural ensures that I will never have great career success. But what a #choice! How can I not choose #wild #fruit and homegrown #tomatoes? #climateaction #green

This is the kind of policy we need. Fuck "move toward the middle" to try to pick up "moderate votes." The middle isn't moderate when the GOP is a cult. This is #moderate, #achievable and #sustainable. #climateaction #resist #NAFO #SaveOurDemocracy #organize #womensrights #Disability #taxtherich

I'm not so sure it's #stupidity. I think it's #racism.

I'm always beating the system as a #blind person, and some love to view that as beautiful and #inspirational. In reality, it's exhausting. Getting through a day is a series of battles. I'd rather have #accessible #transportation and a culture where people socially include me, and just be "average."

Most of the people #detained aren't "illegal." They're people with work permits, with #visas, in the #legal #refugee process... They certainly aren't the promised #criminals. But #MAGAs don't care. Apparently, it was never about legality. It's #racism and #hate. #antifascist #FightHate #HumanRights

When they're pedophiles accusing other people of being pedophiles, it should be no shock to learn that, after all the tantrums about election manipulation, they were the ones rigging elections all the while. #defenddemocracy #oligarchy #AntiCorruption #resist #AntiFascist #organize #FreeElections

These are all cities in Eastern Ukraine devastated by the Russian #invasion. #Trump says #Ukraine should give them up because #Russia has a bigger military. European leaders disagree because they want a world ruled by #law not by #force. #RuleOfLaw #NoWar #resist #FBPE #NAFO #FuckPutin #democracy

This is about a basic question. Do we resign ourselves to a world where anyone can take anyone else's territory (or do just about anything else) if they have the military strength, or do we insist on a world based on rule of law? #Ukraine #NoWar #RuleOfLaw #solidarity #resist #FBPE #NAFO #FuckPutin

How can there be a "reason" for this? Is there an excuse strong enough? How would you explain it to children, if it was allowed on the TV news? #SayNoToGenocide #Gaza #HumanRights #NoWar #WeAreTheFlood #fighthate #protest #compassion #TruthWarriors #theresistance #resist #AntiFascist

Let's start using the same terms we'd use of this happened in other countries. We are a pro-democracy movement. We've never had real democracy, and now we've had a coup. We're struggling against a fascist regime. #defenddemocracy #protest #theresistance #resist #FreeTheUSA #AntiFascist #organize

It isn't just Texas where this happens. It's a whole system built to be LESS democratic by white men 200 years ago who were worried that they wouldn't able to keep having slaves if real democracy was allowed. #EndTheElectoralCollege #fighthate #PowerToThePeople #TruthWarriors #resist #AntiFascist

There must be a fascism manual from the Nazis with steps they're following. "First, round up immigrants, then the homeless..." Next, it will be disabled people to the "health camps" mentioned during the campaign. #NoOneIsIllegal #fighthate #resist #AntiFascist #Disobey #WealthGap #StrongerTogether

People expect a writer to be eloquent, but these things are not transferable.
