Good time to remember that an executive order is not a law and that multiple other EOs of this corrupt regime have already been blocked by the courts.

5 MIN ACTION for folks with Dem senators/reps: call 202-224-3121, ask to speak to your elected. Ask them 1. To be unified as Dems in a boycott of the Mar 4 State of the Union and be LOUD in the press about why. 2. Ask why a govt shutdown in Mar isn't on the table as a tool to resist fascism.

AOC is one of the few Dems actually speaking truth to power these days. Thank God.
This is why you fight these cowards.
The moment you stand up to them, they crumble.
Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights.
He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

You cannot claim to oppose fascism *and* defend the purveyors of anti-trans misinformation.
Scapegoating is a key component of fascism, and the "reasonable, just asking questions" "moderates" are vital to the fascist infrastructure.

What if there were a coup, the US government fell to a drug-addled oligarch who seized control of our money, secrets, and levers of power, and Corporate media did not report on it?

Setting quotas of arrests per day. You know what happens when you have a quota to meet? Scoop them up and let the court sort it out. They will be grabbing anyone they can. No proof of citizenship on your person? Too bad. That’s an arrest. Look “illegal?” Explain it to the court someday.

Recently took a peek at Twitter and the disinformation is getting substantially more dangerous. Someone could get killed.
The tactics of constantly repeating outright lies, targeting specific people, repurposing years-old footage and presenting them as new is getting to another level. It’s scary.
