Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

Mars was the Roman god of war.
That’s why we say ‘martial arts,' ‘martial law,' and 'court martial.'
Marshall was the Roman god of designer fashion at discount prices.

not only is the whole "the left is organizing against us" thing just bullshit for suppressing speech and dissent, its also hilarious because if you've spent 10 seconds on the left you can see there isnt the power to organize a bake sale let alone an antifa plot to take down the govt

A powerful way to radically resist fascism is simply by HELPING others. Any time you do the OPPOSITE of them, you resist.

Fascism America:
"We unleash overwhelming and punishing violence on the enemy. We also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country.” — Pete Hegseth, Sept. 30, 2025

Donald Trump isn’t nearly as “loved” or “feared” as people think.
He’s just using a lot of levers to strangle the alternative programming.
The algos lie about his popularity, he lies- BIGLY.
Breathe deeply, there are so many hours in this day that have nothing to do with 47!
