I wonder if during the Mussolini and HItler et al fascist Nazi years if newspaper publications and radio station news shows included information on actual actions that opposition mounted of if they were full of #opinion pieces
For anyone who wondered how the Germans turned a blind eye to the Holocaust, we are living through the answer. We watched it start in real time. Do you remember last October? The details slip away fast but holding onto them helps us hold onto who we are joycevance.substack.com/p/we-are-not...
We are not Nazis.

#Maine could use a campaign to inform & educate voters that EVERY Senator and Rep. brings $$ to their State. People believe and vote for Collins b/c of her endless press releases about how much money she brings to Maine. And all of #MeMedia that publishes her press releases instead of informing
Enough reason for me to boycott the whole damned thing…

I am sickend about people I know who are still using Amazon
#BoycottAmazon Just STOP using Amazon
My family and I have completely stopped using Amazon. It's a scam and they will try to rip you off starting with that Amazon prime thing and when you try to cancel it, they will harass you to death. But we do just fine without Amazon. Boycott.
With Jeff Bezos's dismantling of the Washington Post and Amazon's extensive ICE and DoD profiteering, it's imperative to understand precisely how both have openly become instruments of authoritarianism

#BANKRUPT - I'll vote for that
Blumenthal: ICE and CBP are out of control. The practices of this agency have to be completely overhauled. It’s like a corporation in bankruptcy—either dissolved or reorganized. They’re morally bankrupt, legally bankrupt, and politically bankrupt.

#Media should have a duty to inform that ALL Senators & Reps bring money to their State. "Collins funding prowess...." is clearly aiding her in choosing to be stenographers and publishing Susan Collins' press releases #Maine #Mepolitics www.pressherald.com/2026/02/06/s...
Susan Collins brings home $425M to Maine as she gears up for tough election
Collins' funding prowess is a major reason she has been so hard to unseat, despite low approval ratings.

How in the world is posting this 👇 taking action to remove stop end the Republican Fascist Regime's destruction of Democracy, Decency, America and our world order.
Trump shared an AI video depicting the Obamas as apes.

This tells you all you need to know about his character—and how racist ideology has permeated the modern Republican party.

This isn’t a dog whistle. It’s vile, explicit racism shouted through a bullhorn.

This man should not be President.

All true, but really, is this in the top 100 of how the Republicans are destroying America and our world order?
The Kennedy Center is a living monument to a man who fervently believed in the emancipatory power of art and culture.

It’s a legacy that Donald Trump clearly doesn’t understand—and has no right to usurp for himself.

I will do everything in my power to ensure he doesn’t.

THIS 👇👇 is another post of info which has now been posted all over everywhere about a thousand times in the past 2 days ...meanwhile ....what do these posts do to actually move towards stoppong the Republican fascists from destroying US?
I’m completely disgusted by the layoffs at The Washington Post. It’s a travesty.

Jeff Bezos is worth $250 BILLION. He is single-handedly destroying one of our country’s most important newspapers.

As the paper’s masthead famously says, “Democracy Dies in Darkness.”

Bezos is turning off the lights.
The Murder of The Washington Post
Today’s layoffs are the latest attempt to kill what makes the paper special.

Hey @housedemocrats.bsky.social @pingree.house.gov Secretary Bessent is basically MOCKING your peer on world wide television...
instead of answering questions from Democratic House members, Bessent is consulting with notes on a piece of paper his team has prepared that contains political hits on them

Five years ago today, Donald Trump urged his supporters to attack Congress and the Capitol over a proven lie. More than 140 police officers were injured.

Trump then pardoned the attackers.

He betrayed his oath and his country, and we won't ever forget it.

Do your republican colleagues read your posts @pingree.house.gov ?

Talk to them in person!
February 4, 2026 at 6:56 PM
😂😂 this is perfect
So Snopes investigated the claim that Donald Trump "pooped his pants" in the oval office during an intelligence briefing last week, and found "no credible evidence" - but I must very respectfully DISAGREE.
