The guy barred the Associated Press from an event in the White House because it used words the guy did not like.
Does anyone still doubting we are living already in a totalitarian country with the ruler flexing his muscle every day?

Paraphrasing an NPR article: Elora Mukherjee, director of the Immigrants' Rights Clinic at Columbia Law School said the US "is no longer a beacon of freedom, of hope, of protection for refugees and asylum-seekers."
I say: Who is organizing the work to dismantle and return the Statue of Liberty?

For now, all NIH communications need to be reviewed by a presidential apointee before they are issued. That already has stopped a scientific conference to deal with cancer research.
At least we won't need to watch a holocaust movie to learn what fascism is.

Trump, a highly vindictive individual, pardoned the rioters. Now, more than ever, he has his own militia, made up of lawless, violent, armed thugs that know they can get away with anything (murder? Yes, of course). Does anyone still think this is NOT going to get really ugly really quickly?

I invited my best friend to the People's March.
What's the point - she said - that is not going to stop him from taking office.
Her logic is flawless, but deep inside I feel she is wrong. What would you say to her?

"I do believe very strongly that America's democracy is only as strong as our willingness to fight for it … otherwise it is very fragile and it will not be willing to withstand moments of crisis. And today, America's democracy stood,"
Kamala Harris.

But we do have to heed the call!

How to prepare for a TikTok ban that will start in a few days? It's a no brainer. Just cancel the largely moronic app, which appears to contain mostly garbage. Life is better when lived outside of a tiny screen that fits in you pocket... really... it is not just a saying.

Peter, from Peter, Paul, and Mary just died.

It looks like we, ourselves, now are the ones who have to ring the bell in the morning and in the evening, ringing out danger and ringing out warning to all our brothers and sisters, all over this land.

Zuckerberg used to say that misinformation was a threat to Democracy. Now he says that fact checkers "have destroyed more trust than they've created".
I resent having my intelligence insulted in this manner.
Don't you?

Another reason to leave Facebook and Instagram. They will be used even more to spread Trump's lies and misiformation. Of course. What does Zuckerberg cares if he already kissed ass and is part of the tight circle. Certainly he does not care about us at all.

Meta says it will end fact checking as Silicon Valley prepares for Trump
CEO Mark Zuckerberg called the company's previous content moderation policies "censorship," repeating talking points from President-elect Donald Trump and his allies.

Class consciousness is growing.

Upheaval is inevitable.

Will we assemble and grow fast enough?

Or will they move faster and snuff out all attempts to move in unison.

From NPR this morning.

The answer to the question of this heroic police officer is that he defended our Republic, and we should show him how important his actions were with our actions to defend it too. Trump betrayed you and all of us, but progressive Americans will support you all the way.

Attention, Republicans: Unlawful border crossings along the U.S.-Mexico border have dropped to a four-year low, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

GOP obsessions with immigrants have nothing to do with facts, and everything to do with the most transparent, hideous racism…

NYT 3: The NY Times fake fentanil article could also be part of a campaign to precipitate US military intervention in México after declaring the cartel a terrorist organization; something that President Claudia has rejected but that conservative Mexican oligarchs are promoting.

NYT2: The NY Times is on the payrolof Mexican oligarchs and was just exposed by Claudia Sheimbaum. Don't mess with Claudia, or at least do it well. Cheap paid tricks and lies will not do it. She knows. Oligarchs attacked AMLO all 6 years and will continue through Claudia's term.
January 3, 2025 at 7:48 PM
NYT 1: The "prestigious" NY Times ran an article with pictures of a fentanil lab in México. President Claudia said it was not credible because the workers were unprotected. The NYT double down on their article and Claudia published a video of unprotected workers fainting while handling fentanil.

If we are not going to use the intelligence we have gathered about Trump's compromised relationship with Putin right now to defend our nation, when are we going to use it? Never?

Make Biden #DeclassifyTrump, so we can force the Congress to #ImpeachTrumpNow.

Welcome to the resistance. I have a proposal for you for action at the end of this essay, but it will make more sense to you if first we talk more about “kompromat.” You will note that the word sounds...

Raising tariffs is a tax on the middle class. The super-rich will get a tax cut to offset increases in their expenses. Tarif money goes to the government to offset the tax cut. Meanwhile, a deficient educational system prevents Americans from understanding that social democracy is not socialism.

We can use the example of President Carter to show our children, incredulous as they will be, that the presidency was once occupied by men of integrity and honor that placed principle ahead of political calculations.

We posted this just an hour before it was announced that Jimmy Carter passed. 🕊️

In his memory, we share one of his most profound messages:

“The measure of a society is found in how they treat their weakest and most helpless citizens.”
