I don’t want to read about a former President’s mental decline because a journalist got a book deal.

I want to read a report about the current President’s mental decline by a journalist brave enough to speak out now.

Three Yale professors who have written extensively on authoritarianism are leaving the U.S. “We’re like people on the Titanic saying our ship can’t sink,” Marci Shore said. “And what you know as a historian is that there is no such thing as a ship that can’t sink.”

The decision by these three Yale professors to move to Canada is both a warning and a call to action.

Not at all surprised that this happened at the Liberty Hotel in Boston . This Hotel was converted from a prison and they celebrate and decorate accordingly ( cells, prison keys , window bars as decor)The most disgusting place I have ever been.
BREAKING: A woman was kicked out of a women’s bathroom at a Massachusetts hotel by a security guard who demanded she “prove her gender.”

No badge gives you the right to sexually harass someone in a bathroom. This is what fascism looks like in real time.

And it’s coming to your city next.

If he cannot carry out his agenda without breaking our laws, violating our Constitution, ignoring the judiciary, alienating our allies and crashing the economy…

It’s a criminal agenda.

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

“The 5 things Pete Hegseth did last week”

- Shared classified attack plans on an unsecured commercial chat application.

- Denied doing it.

- Denied the plans were classified.

- Denied the plans were plans.

- Attacked the journalist who proved he was lying.

A person drives drunk (on average) 80 times before getting a DUI.

How many classified attack plans have been compromised w/adversaries, vs. US journalists?

Exactly this . Don’t be distracted about “ ulterior Motives “.
Support the fighters and join the fight .
The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.

If you let the executive deport people to a foreign gulag just by pronouncing the word “terrorism,” then expect to be called a “terrorist” soon yourself.

One party is willing to try to overthrow the government to be in power.

The other party will worry about whether they’re being nice to them as they do it.

You have $100 in your checking account.

One day, you check your balance and it's $60. You haven't made any withdrawals.

You call the bank. They say $40 was taken as part of their "waste, fraud and abuse" program.

Would you be ok with it?

Coz it's happening to your social security and Medicaid.
