A president who speaks of death for dissent isn’t defending a nation, he’s claiming a throne. He names enemies so others will swing the sword. Power that fears questions always reaches for blood. Don’t give him the submission he’s seeking. Stand when he demands you kneel. #AuthoritarianAlert

Is he calling for himself to be put to death for January 6th?

I'm confused.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Amen! There SHOULD be a revival of true Christianity. The right wing will not like it.
NEW: For Rev. David Black, the pastor seen shot in the head w/pepper balls by DHS agents in a viral clip, protesting ICE is part of an old Christian tradition.

“I’m seeing almost a revival of Christianity through what’s happening at Broadview in Chicago,” he says. religionnews.com/2025/11/19/f...

SCOOP — A former staffer for Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ), Natalie Green, 26, was charged today for falsely reporting she was attacked by 3 men who wrote "TRUMP WHORE" on her stomach bc of her job. It was staged by her + a friend.

Van Drew isn't named in the complaint but I've confirmed w/ his office.

Meanwhile the President just yesterday said an assassinated journalist deserved it and celebrated his killer
New: Reuters has tallied job losses, suspensions and investigations stemming from the reaction to Charlie Kirk's Sept. 10 assassination. Its findings: More than 600 Americans have been punished, and the figure is likely to be an under-count.

Two days ago, signing a petition to release the Epstein files was a treasonous act. Only 4 House Republicans were willing to do it. They were pressured, threatened and harassed by Trump to remove their name.

Tomorrow, they are all going to vote for it.

Spineless cowards.

And the right wing has the gall to say we are a Christian nation.
Unimaginable cruelty and evil.
79-year-old Paul Bojerski was born to Polish parents in a WWII German refugee camp. His family legally emigrated to the U.S. when he was 5.

He’s been taken by ICE in Florida.

For over 5 years, Marjorie Taylor Greene was one of the people in Congress most disliked by Democrats.

No death threats.

It was only when she turned on Donald Trump that she got death threats.

Just like Senators only received threats of violence after they wavered on Trump's cabinet nominations.

Goldman Sachs says the U.S. lost 50,000 jobs last month—which is why Trump’s refusing to release the jobs and inflation reports. They don’t want you seeing how bad the economy really is, but everybody knows.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.
