The regime thought it could intimidate Americans into submission, but We the People are standing up for our rights and each other.

JANE FONDA: “I know Don Lemon. My husband created CNN. And I will fight for their right to speak… they arrested the wrong Don. This is how autocrats act. We can’t fall for it.”

Soon after Don Lemon was released from custody after bribe for hire Pam Bondi had him arrested for being a journalist, he stated loud and clear: “I will not be silenced!”

Hell yes, fuck the MAGA regime and fuck fascism. 💙👊👏

It’s pretty fucking wild that the DOJ is releasing files that include accusations that the President of the United States raped underage girls, to distract from the fact that the DOJ is covering up murders of US citizens by their own government.

Someone on LinkedIn just asked me "why scientists should care and mobilize" right now.

But the answer is simple: BECAUSE IT IS THE MORALLY RIGHT THING TO DO.

People are being killed in the street, our democracy is being eroded, & we are watching the onset of authoritarianism before our eyes. 1/

More and more Americans are voicing their outrage at the tactics being deployed by federal agents in Minnesota. But it’s important to understand the broader implications of what this administration is doing, and the threat it poses to the basic freedoms of every American.

This. So much this.
It’s exhausting to give a damn, isn’t it?

To be a person of compassion in a time and place when compassion is in such great demand?

Day after day, these legions of sorrows begin to take up residence in your body...

Under authoritarian regimes, public spheres — streets, parks, neighborhood — become testing grounds for authoritarian rituals of humiliation and domination.
