Trust nobody "official" in the US.
Donald Trump is weaponizing the DOJ against his political opponents.
Meanwhile, he's gutting the Justice Department’s Public Integrity Section which assists U.S. attorneys’ offices around the country with investigating crooked government officials.
"Drain the swamp."

Pathological narcissists are the problem. Old, fragile men, who insist on clinging and clinging, produce the worst violence for, and against, us all.
OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

Fcking ICE fascists.
I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

So the US Gov't is simultaneously preparing for mass gov't firings — creating even more gov't poverty, lack of info — while ALL Generals are being recalled for a hands-on meeting with Hegseth, who has renamed DOD the "Department of War."
Fascists gonna fascist, folks. Global war is coming.

"Enslave those on Medicaid" is the new MAGA slogan
What’s the next likely stage with a network of concentration camps? Forced slave labor. As historian Timothy Snyder urges, CEOs should pledge to not hire these laborers and each of us should pledge not to buy from or invest in companies that do.

Smoke? Better get used to it. Cheeto says climate change is a hoax, has defunded climate science in academia, NASA, the NOAA + National Weather Service, cancelled EnergyStar, banned California's EV laws, and is now opening coal plants. What on earth did you expect? Rainbows?

We can deliver affordability and fight authoritarianism at the same time. I am eager to partner with state and federal leaders to do exactly that.

As we become unprotected from corporate malfeasance, climate change, fraud, ill-health, horrific accidents, and toxic chemicals — all so that big corporations and their top executives and major shareholders can make even bigger profits — more of us will take a stand.

Defend this man. He is one of few standing for decency and he is risking his life doing so.
America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home.
Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

I feel this. My grandparents, on both sides, long passed and beloved, who fought + resisted the Nazis, warned me about the return of fascism. And now here we are.
I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.
I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

So let me get this straight, a joint venture between NASA and billionaire JEFF BEZOS—both effectively controlled by Trump—"lost" a methane-tracking satellite crucial to combatting climate change? Uh huh.

ICE is now shipping disabled citizens off to the camps
MUST WATCH: ICE kidnapped a disabled American citizen.
Her name is Alma Bowman. Born in the Philippines while her dad served in the U.S. Navy.
She’s lived here 48 years.
They crashed her wheelchair, denied meds, cut her off from her lawyer—and jailed her.
She. Is. A. Citizen.

These soldiers died fighting far right fascism — they gave their lives to defeat the kind of people who ban and burn books, who stoke the fires of homophobia + anti-semitism, spreading fear and hatred of immigrants, socialists, and women, sending off anyone they didn't like to concentration camps.
Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.
They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.
France also gave us this land as American soil.
