Whether by opposing the Fugitive Slave Act, refusing Segregation, or legalizing Cannabis— States have a LONG history of opposing Federal oppression.

Now, Democratic States must enact Soft Secession to oppose Trump's fascism & prevent our residents from starving.

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

Trump will spend his weekend promoting a new golf course at his resort in Scotland – costing taxpayers an estimated $10 million.

After this jaunt, he will have spent at least $52 million of taxpayer money on golf trips.

If that’s not fraud, waste, and abuse, I don’t know what is.

"Donald Trump didn’t stumble into protecting Nazis and sex criminals. He’s making deliberate choices that reflect who he is and what he values: power without accountability, loyalty without truth, and cruelty without consequence." #EpsteinFiles #TrumpTyranny
A man who aligns himself with child rapists like Jeffery Epstein & Ghislaine Maxwell, fires Inspector Generals, pardons Nazis, & fires the people prosecuting sex crimes—is a man who is telling us that he is a Nazi & a sex abuser.

But will MAGAs still support him?

Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

Never before in U.S. history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next.

This is dictatorship.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I've said this before and I'll say this again -- why FIFA and IOC think having the 26 World Cup and 28 Summer Olympics in the United States will be anything but a disaster for non-white athletes is beyond me. Below is a preview of what to expect. This is fascistic.
The US has denied the visas of all 12 members of the Senegalese women’s basketball team who were scheduled to travel to the country as part of their preparation for the Afrobasket tournament that begins in August. Afrobasket is also the African qualifiers for the Olympics.

At no point in this entire article of 16 paragraphs does ABC mention that another cop killed this cop by shooting her in the back. Nor does it mention the name of the cop who killed this cop. Nor does it mention that the civilians involved never fired at them.

ABC might as well be state media.

A reminder that the man who ignited violence at the George Floyd protests was identified by police as a white supremacist conspiring to harm the causes of racial justice. Felt like that’s important to share as we observe the Trump regime spew an onslaught of disinformation about LA.

Fascism is when you charge an elected Black Congresswoman for her 'crime' of conducting oversight of an ICE facility as her job requires—but pay $5M in reparations to the family of a white supremacist insurrectionist for getting killed while trying to violently overthrow the Govt.
