Stop calling this an “administration.” It’s a fascist regime.

Stop calling Trump “president.” He’s a dictator.

Stop calling ICE “federal agents.” They are the gestapo.

We need to collectively wake up and rise up

This is where we are. Read this joint statement by France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the Kingdom of Denmark on Greenland:

"Greenland belongs to its people. It is for Denmark and Greenland, and them only, to decide on matters concerning Denmark and Greenland."

Trump in a single gaggle on Air Force One just threatened:

-- a second strike against Venezuela
-- Cuba
-- Mexico
-- Colombia
-- Iran
-- Greenland (which in turn would be an attack on the EU and Denmark)

We are a country whose Constitution, according to the Supreme Court, gives our own presidents immunity for crimes committed while in office, but we will prosecute presidents of other countries for alleged crimes and invade them to execute arrest warrants.

One of Trump's first moves when he took office last year was to pardon 1,500+ insurrectionists.

Those unconditional pardons pose a real public safety threat. Just look at the other criminal charges pardoned insurrectionists have faced:
At least 33 pardoned insurrectionists face other criminal charges—but many are now going free - CREW | Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington
At least 33 January 6th insurrectionists pardoned by Trump have been rearrested, charged or sentenced for other crimes since January 6, 2021.

Democrats need to grow a f*cking spine.

No more strongly worded letters. It’s time to draft articles of impeachment.

Impeach. Convict. Remove.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

This is a good idea! Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) said, “If the governor has the ability to issue driver’s licenses to people in California, if you’re going to wear a mask and not identify yourself, you’re not going to be eligible to drive a vehicle in California.”

What makes people think there will be a free and fair election in 2028? Every day it actually seems LESS likely to me.

And what have we done to be certain another endlessly corrupt felon won't be elevated to the U.S. Presidency? I can't think of a single structural change we've made to the system.

U.S. lack of commitment & resolve in support of Ukraine & disturbing capitulation to Russia, opens door to more serious international global conflicts. The U.S. exudes weakness in current peace talks, very bad look to the world…

Poor management of international affairs!

One way to quantify the GOP's attack on free and fair elections:

My law firm is litigating 78 voting and election cases in 39 states. This is, by far, the largest caseload we have carried in a non-election year and close to our peak in 2024. The question is how many more can a small firm handle.
