The Danes showed that you do not wait for permission to fight fascism. They resisted in small and big ways. They saved almost every Jewish neighbor. Fascism cannot survive without obedience. Ours still does. Refuse to comply. Protect the targeted. Make the collaborators sweat.
The Danes Resisted Fascism, and So Can We
Danish resistance didn’t arrive all at once during World War II. But taken as a whole, the Danes’ actions are a testament to what’s possible when we work together to fight fascism.

The House is poised to vote on the SAVE Act tomorrow. What's behind the GOP's push for proof of citizenship in elections? Voter suppression and lies about immigration.
What’s Really Behind Republicans' Push for Proof of Citizenship?
Republicans are perpetuating harmful myths to pass proof of citizenship requirements that serve their own ends.

Here’s what RFK Jr. has done since a measles outbreak began which has killed 3 people so far:

1. Buried a CDC report showing need for vaccination

2. Recommended vitamin A, resulting in liver damage in kids

3. Defunded vaccination clinics nationally

4. Hired a fraud to manipulate vaccine data

60 Minutes“could not find criminal records” for 75% of the 238 men the Trump admin sent to a Salvadoran prison. Of the 22% that had records, the “vast majority are for non-violent offenses.” Trump admin still insists they’re “terrorists.”

The best case scenario is that this is a stock shorting scheme, and in a week, there will be masterful (non-existent) "dealmaking" that removes the tariffs after the billionaires buy the dip causing a massive transfer of wealth.

That's the *best* case scenario.
