Trump is launching a new worldwide war of ideology.

This time it’s Far Right vs Democracy. And America is on the losing side.

When the anti-fascists remove the fascists from power in America, we will need a special task force to round up and prosecute the fascists that were members of CBP, ICE, and other federal and state agencies.

I can't wait for these Nazi fascists to be hunted down and brought to justice!!

The most effective boycott against Amazon is to boycott all the companies that use AWS.

AWS is where Amazon makes it billions. Everything else mostly loses money.

-Audible

In 1947, the U.S. military was not confused about what fascism looked like.

Now we have a full-fledged fascist at the head of the U.S. military, serving his fascist leader.

Yet I believe the U.S. military is not confused about what fascism looks like still today.

Funny how the “Law and Order” politicians are always the biggest criminals.

Stop saying, "We need to save our democracy."

Our democracy is broken. People don't want to save it. They want something better. This message is why Kamala Harris lost the election.

Say instead, "We want to live in a democracy." That's a much more powerful message against a fascist Trump regime.

Letterboxd feature request: Prominently mark movies with AI “actors” so people can easily identify which movies to boycott.

I remember the days when messages from government agencies were professional and nonpartisan.

Not anymore. Here's an email I received from the VA today.

Trump is a fascist.

But what form of government is he creating?

Some call it autocracy. Some call it oligarchy.

The most accurate term is kleptocracy.

Kleptocracy is a form of autocracy. But the goal of the autocracy is personal enrichment. Pure and simple.

Reading a fabulous biography of Thomas Jefferson.

While far from perfect, Jefferson gave America our enduring ideals of freedom and liberty. He was the Aristotle of the founding era.

We are lucky he played such an outsized role in defining what America aspires to be.

I’m a proud anti-fascist.

Very confused that I can’t
find the phone number for HR or even a website or email address to get my membership card.

If you live in a country that declares anti-fascists to be terrorists, you live in a fascist country.

Maybe he's suing the Wall Street Journal because they didn't tell the full story. He actually drew a young teenage girl's body. Otherwise, the story was spot on.
Can’t quite put my finger on why, but somehow the actual doodle makes it so much worse and more disgusting.

We need a song of resistance against the Fascist takeover of America

I suggest Bella Ciao. => www.wantedinrome.com/news/bella-c...

We need an English language version that fits our situation and the struggle we face. Let's call it, "Bella Ciao 2025."
Bella Ciao: Italy's Resistance Anthem
A brief history of Bella Ciao, the anti-fascist anthem of the Resistance, which is sung in Italy every year on 25 April to mark the Festa della Liberazione.

How will we know when this is fascism?

George Orwell told us. When the government uses its vast power to compel people to believe things that are patently false.

Trump is a fascist. And he’s doing everything he can to turn America into a fascist state.

Embarrassed that the entire world has to watch our Toddler in the White House fail to understand what everyone else knows: Russia doesn’t want peace and they’re not bothered by how many people are killed. All the while the Toddler thinks Putin is the hero.

The result of this “keeping everybody safe down here” will be a huge surge in gun sales in DC. Great job!

Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? I just used that to con America and grab power. If you were paying attention, you would know I was his BFF in abusing young, vulnerable girls. Come on MAGA, get over it.
