"He has launched a preemptive military strike. He has defended the strike by misrepresenting intelligence. He has prematurely declared the mission a total victory. And he is impugning the patriotism of anyone who challenges his lies."
Trump’s Team Is Lying About Iran’s WMD
He savaged Bush for distorting intelligence and overselling the military’s initial success in Iraq. Now Trump and his team are doing the same in Iran.

ICE is gearing up to deploy to these blue cities:

Chicago, NYC, the DC area, Seattle, and Philly.

If any of these are your hometowns—get ready.
If not—watch anyway, all the way through, because Trump’s unhinged order will affect you. Spread the word.

Really glad to see this. Absolutely a long shot but Democrats have to contest every race and this is about as good as it gets. Terrific video.
I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. I’m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t.

Excellent list.
Academics & others need to understand a few things.

A 🧵

I) First, fascism is not inevitable.

Research on autocratic movements show that only about 3,5% of the population need to resist to stop them.

Fascism thrives on the silence of the friends.
That why visible resistance matters.

In addition to going through the website, I strongly encourage people to read the letter from Harvard's President, Dr. Garber.

We need more scientific institutions to show this level of courage, no matter the risk. In fact, we need *all* institutions to stand up*.

(1/2) Are you willing to hear an optimistic statement for a change?

Per major-media reports, Trump didn't pull back the Stefanik nomination simply because he worried the GOP could lose her seat.

He and his advisors were worried about a series of events that could lead to them losing the _House_.

Long term democracy can only be saved if they overturn Citizens United as well as Buckley v. Valeo

Or

They tax billionaires out of existence.

It can’t survive if a single donor can throw $1/4 billion and promise voters millions for their votes.

🧵Masked ICE thugs attempted to abduct the school nurse at Cooke Elementary School, located in the densely populated Adams Morgan section of DC. Workers at the school intervened, demanding a warrant and holding up their phones and ICE scurried off without making their arrest.

Corrupt judges let a criminal get away with treason and run for president. Propagandists masquerading as journalists lied to enough people that the criminal won. Then the criminal sold a half share in the presidency to the world's richest man, whom no one voted for. That's what happened, folks.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.

This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.

Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.

And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

The fight for our democracy is not coming. It is here.

When I say that we have months, not a year, to save democracy, I'm talking about this coordinated, relentless legal assault on political dissent.

The president and his allies in Congress are targeting the financial, digital and legal machinery that powers the Democratic Party and much of the progressive political world.
