@whitehouse-47.bsky.social Now you've joined us, thought I'd repost this in case you missed it ... No storming the Capitol, no violence, no shitting on desks. Just millions of people against facism supporting democracy. (FYI, that's what antifa means... anti facist - look it up)

So proud of everyone! The NYPD confirmed that rallies across the city have ended with no arrests. It’s getting harder and harder for Trump to sell his propaganda.

@briantylercohen.bsky.social's take on why it is so important to fight for democracy in whatever capacity you can, and not capitulate to tyrants. I can't join the No Kings protests, but will wear yellow and support from the UK. Take care tomorrow my US cousins

CNN could have been onto a breaking story here, but chose to bury it. Capitulating to earn brownie points from the de facto President. Journalistic integrity is dead
Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.
It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

If traditional reading is difficult for you for any reason, most libraries are attached to Libby, a wonderful source of audiobooks that you can access right from your phone!
As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read.
They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

Prof Pagel's account of the Krasnov Regime's authoritarian takeover is a sobering, but essential read. I can only hope her meticulously curated list of his actions will one day form the basis for a Nuremberg style trial
🚨1000 authoritarian actions. 7 months🚨
I've been tracking Trump's authoritarian actions. From dismantling democratic institutions to militarising immigration enforcement, Trump is reshaping America.
In my new post I highlight key authoriarian attacks
