Tyranny requires your fear, your silence and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage. I will not be silent and I will never be compliant.

ICE is conducting raids at elementary school bus drop offs.
Yeah, read that again - ICE IS TARGETING ELEMENTARY SCHOOL BUS DROP OFFS.
To every single person who voted for Trump, take a good look at these children jumping out of the back of the school bus. Then look in a mirror b/c you own this.

This is an eye opener - here's a sample of rabid MAGA posts on Twitter ... by accounts based in Nigeria, Bangladesh, Africa. Turns out that the more outrageous your posts the more clicks, and the more clicks the more money you can make.
Always follow the money.

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

Right wing media foaming at the mouth about how "Young women in this country have become a very scary demographic".
Yeah, it's a real mystery why young women voters - and all the rest of us - are fueling that blue wave.

Maybe, and I'm spitballing here, women don't like waiting in hospital parking lots until they are near death to have life-saving abortions. Maybe they enjoy having a bank account and jobs and voting rights. Maybe they don't want a court judge to decide if they deserve a divorce. Wow, what a mystery.

Latest asinine idea from the Trump Administration - the DOT wants to use military air traffic controllers at airports even though "they're not certified in the airspaces that we need them".
I may be picky, but I want a CERTIFIED air traffic controller telling the pilot of my plane where to land.

Sean Duffy: "The secretary of war texted me yesterday and said, 'I might have some air traffic controllers. If you could use them, I'm gonna offer them to you.' I don't know that I can, Jake, because they're not certified in the airspaces that we need them. But if I can, I'm going to use them."

Have you wondered why the Trump administration has been so aggressive about shutting down solar & wind projects?
Maybe they've seen the results from solar farms in Australia which are generating so much electricity that residents are going to get 3 FREE HOURS OF ELECTRICITY PER DAY.

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Live from the trial of Sandwich Guy - Border Patrol agent testifies that although he wasn't injured by the sandwich he felt the impact through his ballistic vest and could "smell the onions and mustard".
Will the smell of onions & mustard be enough for the jury to convict for misdemeanor assault?
