Tyranny doesn’t happen overnight. Take it from the people who missed the first signs.

This is chilling watching how tyranny begins and seeing what Trump has tried in one week. We must fight back. We must support everyone targeted. We must not obey. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/22/o...
MAGA politicians ban trans kids from using hormone blockers but they celebrate youth “looksmaxxing” using barbaric techniques like smashing facial bones. Hypocrisy doesn’t begin to cover this insanity.

Trump is NOT the President of the United States, only red states. He defunds blue states, refuses disaster money for blue states, invades blue states & cities w/ a MILITARY Invasion, says Republicans should "takeover" elections. Now he excluded a gay and a Black Governor from WH event. #FuckTrump
President Trump has disinvited at least two Democratic governors from this year’s annual National Governors Association dinner at the White House.

Trump’s Police State has gone to people’s homes after a critical email. They’ve combed thru protest videos & used facial recognition to hunt down & arrest protesters a month later. They absolutely will target voters. It’s easier if they steal voting details, but they will do it either way. PREPARE!
Schiff on Gabbard's involvement in Georgia: "All of this is intended to send a message and the message is, 'We will not tolerate or accept an election that we lose.' That's why in these budget discussions we need to make sure, among other things, that we don't have ICE agents at polling places."

What did the President do? Called it “absolutely terrible.” He said “nobody understands a word this guy is saying.” He called it “a slap in the face to our Country.”

This is what Hess said: “It brings up mixed emotions to represent the US right now. I think it’s a little hard. There’s obviously a lot going on that I’m not the biggest fan of. Just because I wear the flag doesn't mean I represent everything that's going on in the US.”
