EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

What the US is experiencing right now is fascism. There's no other word for it and pretending that it's verboten to say so diminishes the truth as much as they are diminishing the truth. It's fascism. It's arrived.

Late last night, Trump fired the independent inspectors general of at least 12 major federal agencies.
Inspectors general are tasked with rooting out fraud, abuse, and corruption.
Trump wants loyalists in these positions — a key tenant of Project 2025.

Trump ousts at least 12 independent inspectors general in late-night purge
The dismissals appeared to violate federal law, which requires Congress to receive 30 days’ notice of any intent to fire a Senate-confirmed inspector general.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is suing a taxpayer-funded, Christian-run homeless shelter that he claims is a “magnet” for drugs and crime.
The shelter’s leader says helping the poor is an extension of his church’s religious freedom and therefore legal.

Violent misogyny has been and is going to be an animating force in younger generations of the far right.
And until we actually start acknowledging that and treating it as the extremist hate it is, it will continue to function as a virtually unchallenged avenue of fascist radicalization.
