An image of a piece of cardboard leaning up against a curb. On the cardboard is written, "You have more in common with every homeless person than you do with any billionaire."

“Pete Hegseth spent millions to fly in all of our generals and admirals to rant about facial hair and brag about how many pull-ups he can do, and have Donald Trump sleepwalk through a list of partisan gripes.”

The new MAGA motto.
A satirical version of the Gadsden flag, but instead of an alert coiled up snake with the words "don't tread on me", this image shows a snake that appears lifeless and belly-up along with the words "... as long as you tread on those I hate first."

We were all taught that this was evil.
And now we're told we can't even say we are against it.
An image that looks like a torn out piece of paper with the dictionary definition of "fascism". It says: fas•cism ('fa-shi-zam) -ist n. -ist, -istic adj. 1 often Fascism: a political philosophy, movement, or regime that exalts nation and often race above the individual, that is associated with a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, and that is characterized by severe economic and social regimentation and by forcible suppression of opposition broadly: a philosophy or system with some combination of fascist values and governing structures 2 a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial

Hmm, I wish there was a word that could easily describe someone like this... 🤔
A list in simple white text on a black background that states this: He wants to dictate what the press can say. He wants to dictate what schools can teach. He wants to dictate who companies can hire. He wants to dictate when the law does or does not apply. He wants to dictate what you can and cannot say. He wants to dictate who gets a voice. He wants to dictate what history were allowed to remember. He wants to dictate which companies win. He wants to dictate which billionaires get richer. He wants to dictate that his opposition should be silenced. He wants to dictate that the "other" are the enemy within. He wants to dictate that dissent is terrorism. He wants to dictate what truth is "fake." He wants to dictate what lies are the "truth". He wants to dictate what is "American." He wants to dictate who should be punished. He wants to dictate who the military serves. He wants to dictate which violence is "necessary." He wants to dictate which rights we get to keep.

FASCISM. KLEPTOCRACY. OLIGARCHY. I'm sure some think Liberals like myself have used these words a bit too… um, liberally. BUT, the warning signs are real. I tossed these cheat sheets together to highlight the patterns used throughout history to undermine democracies.

A simple illustration of a black paddle — like those used by Democrats at Trump's address to Congress — with the words "THIS IS NOT ENOUGH".

Graphic with text says: WARNING FATIGUE (with siren icons) Like ignoring a hurricane warning because a hurricane has never hit your house yet, warning fatigue happens when constant alerts make people numb, leading them to ignore real dangers. That's how authoritarianism creeps in-through exhaustion, normalization, and silence. Dismissing the signs only strengthens those seeking unchecked power. Democracy isn't self-sustaining; it survives when people stay engaged, speak out, and push back. Don't let fatigue turn into apathy. Stay informed. Stay active. Stay

I will never not think of @ifycomedy.com, @vornietom.bsky.social, and @mikewtrapp.bsky.social every time I think of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (which obviously happens a LOT).

LITMUS TEST
Fact: Russia attacked Ukraine.

If your "news" source is saying otherwise, or is bending over backwards to justify what the President claimed, it's not news
- it's propaganda.
