What will it take for regular people to understand that if they refuse to stand up against fascism they will not be spared? Fascism is a serial killer with no restrictions on who it targets.

Donald Trump is using federal agents to stoke fear and violate constitutional rights — all with the aims of expanding his control and sending military troops to our cities.
It’s unlawful and un-American. We must all stand up and speak out against fanning the flames of violence.

Yeah, I don’t plan on resubscribing to Disney. They sold out to a fascist and only folded when there was money being lost. I don’t support that kind of business model.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.
This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.
All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

@cbsnews.com and @paramountpictures.bsky.social should be absolutely ashamed of themselves. This is truly astonishing that they would bend to the whims of a wannabe dictator and cancel on of the most uniquely American voices in media in @stephencolbert.bsky.social

This is the darkest time in our nation since the Civil War. The right is radicalized at Berlin 1941 levels and many Americans are celebrating cruelty and lawlessness masquerading as power.
It is time for an awakening of morality, decency and public resistance to evil.

They bend every law, they break every law, they hack voting machines, they deploy roving gangs of thugs to steal people off the street, they openly embrace racism, they lie nonstop, they incite political violence, and much more. Their evil knows no limits. Then they claim to be followers of Jesus.

Tanks roll in D.C.
Marines patrol your block.
But your courage isn’t forged in uniforms.
It’s forged in community, in solidarity, in relentless refusal.
You carry democracy in the streets.
This is not spectacle. This is witness. This is resistance.

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.
Shhh. Republicans are trying to repeal Obamacare again. Sort of.
They’re not branding it an Obamacare repeal this time around, but congressional Republicans are pursuing cuts to programs that are part of the 15-year-old health-care law.
