Meanwhile over on the other place, rightwing free speech warriors (this guy is a former DeSantis campaign staffer) are calling for me to be denaturalized and deported because they don’t like my political speech. This is what fascism and racism looks like, folks.

"Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good" is a phrase that was scoffed at by many who didn't want our current outcome. One would think we learned this last time. Instead, we shit on the idea of harm reduction, and we are entering a dictatorship with all the warning signs of a coming genocide.

“First Amendment experts still believe that Mr. Trump’s cases, against CBS News and The Des Moines Register, lack legal merit. But they now also realize that the lawsuits are proving effective at harassing the press — & that more of them are…on the way.”

This is the *actual* free speech crisis!
Trump Lawsuits Against Media Gain Momentum
First Amendment experts say Mr. Trump’s lawsuits, based on an unproven legal theory, lack merit. But more could be on the way.

If you're advocating for racism, you're a racist.

If you're advocating for eugenics, you're a racist.

If you're advocating for racists to get hired or rehired by the government, you're a racist.

Hope that clears things up.

"The democrats are evil"

Hey, tho, what about those actually evil fascists who know that if we turn on eachother we are way easier to destroy?If we want to survive this, we have to stick together. By splitting we are doing what the alt right brags and claims they make us do

We can not normalize criminalizing free press and free speech
This is insane. Musk, the world's richest man, owner of the most influential political messaging platform, and a de facto government member and top ally to the president, is accusing a journalist of being a criminal, because she reported on one of his racist DOGE staffers. This is fascist behavior.

Can we heal the divisions caused by Trump’s influence?

The answer is yes, but it starts with understanding and empathy.

Healing is always possible. I’ve seen people rebuild relationships and break free from undue influence it starts with compassion and understanding.
