What is fascism? What forms has it taken in the past? And how can we fight against it?

I try to answer these questions, and more, in our latest video. Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWYqrVsBvwI
Are We Witnessing Fascism?

Make it so!
This only happens one way. Every person that loves our country that lives in Tennessee's 7th congressional district gets out, stands in line as long as it takes on Tuesday Dec. 2nd, and votes for Aftyn Behn. www.politicususa.com/p/democrats-...
Democrats Are On The Cusp Of An Earthquake House Win In Tennessee
Democratic candidate Aftyn Behn is within two points in a Tennessee US House special election in a district that Donald Trump carried by 22 points in 2024.

She'll make a boat load of money with a podcast exposing the GOP. Let the games begin!
BREAKING: Marjorie Taylor Greene announces she is resigning from Congress. Her last day in office will be January 5, 2026.

100%. Dems need to do this with rotating guests of Dems. May I suggest Sean Patrick Maloney?
Watching Karoline Leavitt spew her usual misinformation and divisive nonsense makes me wonder, why isn’t there a People’s press secretary?

Someone who stands at a podium, tells the truth, and gets covered too.

Democracy deserves balance, not propaganda.

Now would be a really good time for any decent Republican to support the release of the files. The world is watching.
As more and more files come out, Ghislaine Maxwell has less and less leverage for a pardon or commutation. Things are really going to start heating up.

Let's go after every Senate seat that is up in 2026 and BTW let's encourage sitting senators to retire early. We need the energy of "yes we can"!
Now, following last week's elections, Democrats are talking seriously about retaking the Senate. This is one of the states to watch.

Medicare for all.

Ditto
This is a good night.

A resounding YES!
Is it time to call it a referendum on the president yet?
November 5, 2025 at 2:54 AM
Let me guess, every Republican will say "I haven't seen it". As trump runs his presidency on social media it's a dereliction of duty for R's not to be paying attention to every tweet.
Not a single mention of this across the Sunday shows as far as I could tell

The next big event should be a massive boycott in January.
No Kings protest sign: “Food Prices Still High!”

We need massive economic boycotts now, if we impact the economy they will listen.

We need our leaders to demand receipts to R's talking points by showing the public where undocumented residents are signing up for the ACA in mass. And BTW if Trump is deporting them doesn't that eliminate their so called problem? Make it make sense.
October 6, 2025 at 2:11 PM
Bingo. And of course Trump doesn't need their votes anymore.
People are asking: Why is Trump screwing American farmers so badly when they’re his most loyal voting bloc?

Maybe because it’s a cheap land grab. Run farmers out of business, then he and his billionaire buddies buy up millions of acres for pennies on the dollar.

Are the farmers catching on yet?

Poverty is the point.

We need Dems going everywhere and anywhere and moving the goal post as follows: "democratics want universal healthcare for all legal residents. We would welcome Republicans to work with us to craft the language to prevent any loopholes."
I heard from one woman yesterday whose husband works for the Dept of Education. His outgoing email message while he is furlouged has been changed.

It says that he is out of the office because Democrats wouldn’t come to the table to negotiate.

It’s a lie. The employees know it, and so do we.

Dems need to strike back when Republicans say it's healthcare for illegal residents. Dems need to counter with universal healthcare for all legal residents. Change the narrative.
October 3, 2025 at 7:45 PM
We all need to be more like Bernie. Universal healthcare now.
“If you can beat the oligarchs here…that will send a message to every community in America that real change is possible.”

More of my conversation with Bernie Sanders on democracy, oligarchy and his time as Mayor.

He doesn't need their votes anymore.
Tariffs killed our entire soybean crop sales. That’s on Trump.
I can’t think of any reason to completely wreck the ag markets in entire United States other than purposeful sabotage.

A fire sale on farmland.

This is a good day for an economic boycott as well. Pack a lunch and snacks to share, if you have to buy look for a locally owned store.
Everyone deserves dignity, a life they can afford, and real opportunity. That’s what we stand for on October 18. Will you join us at a #NoKings event in your community? Find one here: go.aft.org/nokings

Is there an automated way to take a user's x posts and mirror them on bluesky? I refuse to go back to x but I miss a lot of the posts from voices I like to follow
September 28, 2025 at 8:17 PM
We all saw this coming, but this time Trump doesn't need the farmers vote in another election, and I'm sure he has friends who want to pick up all the land for cheap. I predict he'll string the farmers along as far as he can through the mid terms.
@timmiller.bsky.social breaks down how you're paying for the dumbest bailout ever!
September 28, 2025 at 8:13 PM
Let's go bolder. WA State needs to introduce legislation for universal healthcare including mental health, substance abuse/addiction and recovery. I know this isn't an easy or quick task but start the conversation and lead the nation!
Approximately 28% of our budget consists of federal investments, so these cuts will have adverse impacts for many Washingtonians.

As I write my first budget, I will be focused on delivering a balanced budget that maintains core services to the people of our state.
September 28, 2025 at 8:06 PM
We need to go farther and demand universal healthcare aka Medicare for all and not just return to the status quo.
You bet I’m calling on the GOP to come to the table to get health care funded. Americans are going to be choosing health care plans in just a few weeks. We don’t have time to wait.
