Every day it's exponentially clearer that we are living under a fascist government.

Authoritarianism is here. We are no longer living in a true democracy. Our job now is to work together to peacefully end this reign of terror.

This ends when enough of us say no.
Join those who are organizing:

Major US cities are experiencing outbreaks of violence caused by armed gang members. These thugs are masked and dangerous. They attack and kidnap people off the streets and at their places of work. The group should be designated as a domestic terrorist organization. They call themselves ICE.

Trump just pardoned Dan Wilson, a former Jan. 6 defendant, for a second time — this time on gun charges not related to his conduct during the Capitol riot.

The White House says Trump pardoned Wilson again because the gun charges stemmed from an investigation into him after Jan. 6.

Chris Murphy on possible military strikes on Venezuela: "It's pretty clear it's just an effort to distract people from the rising prices and the Epstein scandal. No one wants a war with Venezuela ... and by the way, it's wildly illegal."

You can think it’s good that Massie and MTG are stirring up shit within the GOP caucus without thinking their politics in general is good. It’s not hard at all in fact?

Pay attention to how big news organizations are describing Epstein’s death. It’s now much more like “he was found dead…it was ruled a suicide…” not “he killed himself.”

Gov. J.B. Pritzker announced Illinois is launching a new initiative to document abuses by federal agents — calling out ICE and CBP for targeting people of color and dodging accountability. “We’re going to have to keep a record. These people need to be held accountable.”

Not the first to make this point. But there is a tyrant in charge of another country who is accused of being heavily linked to a paedophile sex ring - and supposed ‘patriots’ in this country are passionately willing him to take down our national broadcaster. Madness.

The presidency is a side gig for Trump‘s grift.
"New disclosures posted Saturday...show that Trump’s purchases of at least $82 million include bonds from Netflix Inc., UnitedHealth Group Inc., Boeing Co., Meta Platforms Inc., Home Depot Inc., Broadcom Inc. and Intel Corp., of which the US government acquired a stake under his administration."
President Donald Trump has continued his purchases of municipal and corporate debt this fall, including bonds of companies affected by his administration’s policies

Just discovered that if our family wants to stay on our current (employer-based) health plan in 2026, our premiums will more than double.

I don’t understand how, as people discover how much Trump & Congressional Republicans have fucked us, the rage isn’t enough to flip every single GOP seat.

He never did lower egg prices, instead he just said they’re lower (they’re not).

He never did release the Epstein files, instead he just said they’re a hoax (they’re not).

The fact that Megyn Kelly minimized raping 15 year olds and wasn't immediately canceled from every platform, including @siriusxmprog.bsky.social and YouTube, tells you EVERYTHING that is wrong with right wing media and this country in general.

If a man said what Megyn Kelly said, you would assume he was a trafficker.

This young lady is wise beyond her years, but she is still a “child”and she would like a word…

People want to believe that the GOP’s electoral success in red states is the result of dirty tricks and gerrymandering instead of the sincerely held beliefs of a majority of the population because a mechanical issue is easier to fix than wrestling with how to make people not believe what they do.

After months of denying tariffs were raising prices, Trump is now rolling them back because families are feeling the squeeze. This reporting makes it clear: his trade agenda drove up costs on everyday essentials while delivering little for working people. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
