Honestly, this normalization of the 2nd Trump’s administration fascism is getting to me, I can’t just distract myself by watching AI slop or watching reels. I’m honestly concerned because it’ll get worse and we’re scarily indifferent to unite and solve the root causes of this sociopolitical crisis.

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the six million Jewish people murdered by the Nazis, as well as countless other victims.

We honor their lives by rejecting the evils of antisemitism, dehumanization, and authoritarian violence wherever they appear.

Never again means never again for anyone.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

I'm voting no on DHS funding.

Masked agents are operating in our streets and hurting people with zero accountability. It’s un-American.

If you’re upset and want to help, call your senators and representatives and tell them this chaos needs to stop.

Remember: Ice and all federal law enforcement are following the new security directive NSPM-7 from POTUS.

They are operating with completely unconstitutional “unqualified immunity.”

Exactly! Doesn’t mean we don’t feel trusted af because the system isn’t working as intended and lawmakers keep telling us to stay peaceful
This is correct. This is what everyone needs to hear and know in their hearts, especially right now.

In a few years, historians will be looking back at the events in Minnesota as the breaking point that triggered the chaos and conflict that dragged us into another painful global economic and sociopolitical recession for many years, and ask; why did we allow that it happen again?

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.
Imagine how much they’d be lying about what happened without all the videos showing it from multiple angles.

Trump is coming after all of us. All of us who oppose his tyranny and brutality. All of us who defy his dictatorship. All of us who seek accountability and challenge his murderous goons.

All across America we must rise up against this oppression, as peacefully but as definitively as we can.

Ryan Hall said that this ice storm may be historic and that there is a chance that some areas could lose power for possibly weeks.

Because the Arctic warms faster than the mid-latitudes, the polar vortex becomes unstable, sending masses of cold air South.

SCOOP: The Trump DOJ is preparing to eliminate the ability of U.S. Attorneys to recuse themselves from cases due to conflicts of interest.

A new rule expected to be filed this week will put that power in the hands of Pam Bondi.
DOJ Moves to Eliminate Attorney Recusals in Sweeping Power Shift
Proposed rule would strip prosecutors of ethical independence and place conflict decisions solely in the hands of the attorney general

Don’t see this being reported that much, but has the intention of intimidating Latina American governments. If Trump incursions into these sovereign governments, it’d disrupt their economies immensely.

The Department of Labor has just posted its second Nazi slogan (in the original, "Germany for Germans") in the last two days.

No one believes this is a coincidence.

They are telling America exactly who they are and what they intend.

President Trump is rapidly moving this country toward authoritarianism.

Part of that is creating the myth of the “Great Leader” by naming public buildings after himself—something dictators have done.

Today I introduced a bill with @vanhollen.senate.gov & @alsobrooks.senate.gov to stop it.
