The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

look, I may not agree with everything our president says, but I will defend to the death his right to be impeached, removed from office, arrested, stripped of his wealth, tried for his crimes and thrown straight the fuck into prison

Going to have to add that to my reading/book list
Just starting Doppelgänger from @naomiaklein.bsky.social and already this gem about why things feel so weird: “It's because our world has changed, but, like a collective case of jet lag, most of us are still attuned to the rhythms and habits of the place left behind.”

Ouch. That realization hurt. A couple more dots connected, exposing the consequences of the many senseless political topics.

THAT'S more than unsettling; that'sdownright dangerous. I couldn't get any results on my search on Etsy (may have been taken down already?), but Amazon (go figure) sells lookalike stuff, including official looking ICE Homeland Security patches.
Rep. Julie Johnson to Noem: "Are you aware that ICE agent jackets are available on Etsy for $20? Anybody can throw a mask on and run around and terrorize people of color without any regard for the law because your agency does not have proper protocols to make sure your agents are clearly identified"

Finally some good news! It's only a sliver of hope, but it's better than nothing.

That sums it up nicely.

The Constitution disagrees. The Emoluments Clause, part of Article I, Section 9, Clause 8, bans office holders from taking ANY gifts from foreign countries. There is no mention of quid pro quo. That is because the Founding Fathers knew that even the *appearance* of corruption promotes corruption.

Well said.
Richer getting richer and the poor... Well, they can die as they are disposable... but here comes loony lancelot, and they drink his mendacity, hoping for a better life.
I frankly don't see any redemption anytime soon. Even if the Cheeto dies, it seems to me that the tracks have been laid.

Perfect example of privilege
I was reading the comments on a local news article about Medicaid cuts and a Missouri woman called having access to healthcare a “lifestyle” that isn’t meant for folks who can’t afford it.

I have never read anything more sad, or American, in my life…

It's all in the context.

Oh, this was most certainly a publicity stunt!
What happened before Mayor Baraka’s arrest needs daylight.

Did masked ICE agents let him in just so they could arrest and perp walk him to send a message of fear. Because that’s what it looks like.

We’re sliding into fascism—and fast. And if we don’t stop it now, we may not get another chance.

The fact that these federal ICE employees are trying to disguise is proof that they know what they're doing is wrong. I never thought I'd find myself thinking that the Nazis at least showed their faces.

Now, THAT'S a fascinating fact!
You ever wonder where the saying “the real McCoy” comes from?

Meet Elijah McCoy. His genius in engineering is still used today but history books don’t mention his name.

Say his name and remember him. 💙🙏

We’ve been enjoying his incredible inventions without knowing it.

I was going to write my own version of this post, but hell, Peggy very eloquently expressed my sentiments with her contribution. Might as well repost, right?!?
