What is happening in the US is the same that has happened in every fascist state in history: oligarchs exploiting hate to increase their wealth and power. We thought it couldn't happen here, but we were wrong.

I don't think the country can ever be the same. Yes, he and his gang will be eventually gone. But his "people" will still be around. And it will be an impoverished nation, materially and spiritually.

Remember the time Obama personally caught a fainting woman during his speech — rather than just blankly staring like a sociopath?

This is an unprecedented historical moment that demands an unprecedented public response.
I’m incredibly thankful for the solidarity shown by elected officials, public figures, constituents, and others over the past few days.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93.
12 days of work in over 3 months.
With full pay and benefits.
The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.
It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

If you think lil’ Johnson is panicking now just wait till @aftynbehn.bsky.social flips her seat blue on 12/2/25 bsky.app/profile/afty...
Tennessee deserves better than politics as usual.
Aftyn Behn is running for Congress to:
🏡 Make life affordable
🗣️ Stand up to corporate greed
🛠️ Cut red tape for working families
No corporate PACs. No puppet masters. Just leadership that works for Tennesseans.

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.
Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.
