It started when good people turned a blind eye and let it happen.

We've contributed generously to Kelly and those who addressed the military with him. We doubled down when the Pentagon launched its investigation. Yes, it's the holiday season and we have other expenses. But dictatorship is a lot more expensive. We already see that. $upport the leaders who act now.

Hell, every progressive should follow suit and buy everything they can on their shopping lists from Costco and shun Amazon. Enough already.

Holy Shit‼️Watch this epic clap back from Jennifer Welch in response to Katie Miller’s meltdown she had on CNN the other night. Welch is right, if you don’t want to be called certain names then stop acting a certain way! If you can’t stand the heat get out of the kitchen!🔥💥🔥

They make take a minute in order to hoodwink the masses into thinking nothing is changing, but they won't stop until it is gone.

medical bankruptices are 67% of bankrupticies in the U.S. 0% in any other developed western nation.

Excellent short article by The Atlantic, btw.

Since I turned 21 in 1980, when Reagan was elected, almost no one participates in boycotts. Over the 45 years since, people have bought whatever from whoever. Convenience, comfort, entertainment. It's clear they will continue to buy from oligarchs and fail to boycott right into slavish hell itself.

Trump doesn't need no stinking Golden Rule & neither do the 84% of Republicans who approve of him (Nov. Gallup Poll). Remigration is just the latest proof. Yet Trump, MAGA, and the Republicans who don't oppose MAGA, do to immigrants what they would let no one do unto them. "Christians", they claim.

My guess is you could get some good insder trading tips by threatening your victims before you bite them anyway.

True. Musk didn't break records with his $288M contribution to Trump's campaign in the waning hours of the election season. He broke records by contributing his $44B purchase of Twitter to the Trump campaign.

Glad he said this. Stop using Amazon, Facebook, Instagram, Tesla, Twitter, etc. Because "money's the only things these dicks understand". Stop paying them to destroy us. Use Wayfair, Etsy, Ebay, and the manufacturer/retailers sites directly. Figure it out. Divorce Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg.

Heads-up. I like Scott's posts, and he offers unpaid subscriptions on Substack, so I signed up. I recieve 2 email soliciations EVERY day. Some good info in them but I don't have time for all of it. So mostly just tiresome deletes. And no Unsubscribe. Scott's informative, but keep that in mind.

Everyone should be protesting the Trump-instigated crisis in L.A. every day. People continuing to go about their daily lives and capitulate to dictatorship is as outrageous as the dictator's actions themselves. This is why we are here. Failure to take responsibility and act. Decades of just this.

Alt. to Amazon that doesn't seem evil. "Wayfair Inc. is an American e-commerce company based in Boston, MA that sells furniture and home goods online. Formerly known as CSN Stores, it was founded in 2002, and currently offers 14 million items from more than 11,000 global suppliers". Public Co.

Alcatraz prison closed primarily due to high operating costs and deteriorating infrastructure. The isolation of the island, combined with the need to transport supplies (and water) by boat...making it nearly three times more expensive to operate than other federal prisons... Reopening? Misdirection

101 days into the Hunger Games.

Trumpty-Dumpty is defunding PBS. What he calls "bias" some of us call "facts Trumpty-Dumpty doesn't like."

The Human Genome Project cost taxpayers $3 Billion. Two decades on, it has generated a staggering return on investment of $1 Trillion, with benefits in medicine, agriculture, energy, the environment, & more. If you want to boost the economy, funding science is one of the best things you could do.

Boycotting. It works.

I spoke with NPR about the threatening letters that the Republican administration is sending to medical journals.

278 men, including Mr. Abrego Garcia, remain imprisoned under brutal conditions in El Salvador, without due process, for an indefinite period. Don’t let this slip out of view.

This is the way we need to respond. THEY respond by sending $600K to a woman who calls a black 5-year autistic a: "N___" We need to respond when bad things happen. Please respond.

This, right here ⬇️ 💯 %

Thinking about devastating cuts to NSF: US gov-funded science has been the engine upon which most of the tech wealth was generated. But the oligarchs (currently hoarding much of that $) think it’s their own brilliance & not the accident of standing close to the scientific engine that made them rich.

"Trump lost against the Maine governor. He lost against Perkins Coie. He loses 80% of cases in court. Which makes those who’ve capitulated look that much more foolish, because if they’d just fought back, they would've retained what they thought they'd lose and their dignity would still be intact."

Few lawyers are willing to speak publicly about President Trump’s actions against law firms. Fear is rippling through Washington. But, despite being a target, Marc Elias is still talking. Scott Pelley sits down with him tonight on 60 Minutes.

In an #ARVO2025 NAEVR www.eyeresearch.org vision research funding session talking about the absolute devastation to vision science funding that is happening under the Trump administration.

First, they need to believe there will be a post-Trump era.

And thank goodness for our district courts thus far. They are the only thing holding whatever we still have together, for what that's worth.

This is about all of us. Never forget that.

Hypocrite much?

It seems like territorial pissing.

During the McCarthy Era, alleged communists and those with suspected communist ties faced a range of actions, including loss of employment, career damage, and even imprisonment. Suspicions were often based on questionable evidence, and the level of threat was frequently exaggerated.

When the poem says they'll come for you & no one is left to save you, when they come for all remaining liberals' rights, identities as good people & patriots, voice, agency, income/wealth, power, freedom...eventually you could be tortured, forced to unjustly admit guilt, killed. Don't kid yourself.

Call your rep. Especially if you have a Democratic Rep. Tell them they owe it to their constituents to show courage and do what's right. No, he will not be impeached. But significant support for how we all feel can be demonstrated. And they need to do it. It only takes a minute. Srsly. 5Calls.org

And yet people go back to feed the beast every day. And this isn't even the worst part. The worst part is that this paticipation in his evil allows him to fund the greater evil that is devouring all remnants of our values in public life today.

Many, many thanks to all the extremely special people standing up in our hour of need.

May the force be with us all.

As of the beginning of this year, the FBI considered far-right groups here in America far and away the biggest threats for domestic terrorism. That and all the protections for Americans that went with that perspective are long gone. In fact, they are no doubt replaced with mechanisms that help them.

"Meta saw its best weekly performance since February 2024." The boycotts are working well as people take oligarchy head on to save the rule of law and Democracy.

And his motives are not questionable. They are very well known. He will aggressiveable pursue his own interests, with complete moral disregard. He will sell you in a heartbeat. If you're still using FB, Insta, Threads, WhatsApp, pls...

It's a Part of the Plan.

I just went and signed up for $7/mo each. Less than signing up for streaming channel. They really need to see a surge right now that this happened. They need a boost going into this battle. If we don't win this one, it won't be long before he goes after MSNBC.
