Things are accelerating. The end of our democracy and start of the Trump dictatorship isn't happening at a consistent pace—nor is it intended to.

The way they end America is to move so quickly that neither institutions nor the masses can react in time.

I'm not sure democracy makes it to Christmas.

If you're heading to a protest tomorrow, it's important to know your rights. Consult this information from the ACLU.

Be peaceful. Be safe. Be careful. Be strong.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m starting to get the same feeling in my gut that I had at about 1:30 PM on January 6, 2021—like Donald Trump has incited a series of events that are intended to culminate in a coup of our democracy by the far right. This is getting very bad.

Every time the Justice Department tries to claim the military isn’t actually banning transgender people, Pete Hegseth tweets that it is.

This is likely to come up at oral arguments at the DC Circuit Court of appeals — conveniently scheduled for tomorrow.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

UPDATE: El Salvador’s brutal far-right dictator, Trump and Musk friend Nayib Bukele, has confirmed that he will never return any person sent to him from America. And Trump has confirmed he wants American citizens sent to El Salvador to die in a foreign gulag. This is a five-alarm fire for democracy.
Yes, Donald Trump is Planning to Send U.S. Residents En Masse to Death Camps in El Salvador Run By Dictator Nayib Bukele
The White House meeting on Monday between Trump and Bukele isn’t quite a Hitler-Stalin summit, but in the context of this century’s politics and America’s descent into fascism, it approaches it.

Tomorrow—the 50501 Movement ignites nationwide with the “Hands Off!” protests—50 states, one unified voice against authoritarian overreach.

More than a protest—a movement reclaiming our country’s core values.

It's the end times for our democracy.

They're talking about shutting down federal courts they dislike.

Creating "freedom cities" whose supposed 95% MAGA votes will be impossible to verify.

And disenfranchising millions and millions of Democratic voters via new roll purges and sub rosa poll taxes.

I really wish people would care about Trump using Pinochet's tactics to disappear people for speaking their mind.
This may be the biggest free speech crisis in living memory. The president now bragging about detaining a lawful permanent resident and smearing him as 'pro Hamas', no outlining any specific crimes he is accused of or charged with. This is what a fascist takeover looks like.
