A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.
We mustn’t let this war do so.

BREAKING: The US Constitution.
“Donald the Dove” has unilaterally and unconstitutionally declared war on Iran with Israel, so the Irani people can take over the government.
Listen, either you’re cool with our constitution no longer being the rule or the land, or you’re not.

In case you’re just waking up, the U.S. has teamed up with Israel overnight to start an illegal war of regime change, apparently on a presidential whim with no involvement of Congress, and they are already committing horrific atrocities.

Trump lost an election just like exactly half of every candidate that ever ran. For 240 years people lost with dignity. Then Trump comes along and it’s all fraud, the ballots are wrong, mail in voting is anti Trump, we need to show ids. All because one tiny little man lost. Trump lost not America.

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

Why is nobody speaking out against the🍊💩s campaign rally at Fort”Bragg”.Telling the cheering(?)troops to vote GOP and having a repug senate candidate up there with him is crossing another line. Our military is not his political tool to wield. They have a duty to Country and Constitution, not Fatass.

Wow! This is some top-notch investigative journalism. The report claims the 3 million Epstein files released are only 2% of the total.

A short note to Kristi Noem
To a current Cabinet secretary from a former one
The New York Times reports that the Department of Homeland Security has sent Google, Meta, and other media corporations subpoenas for the names on accounts that criticize ICE enforcement. The department wants to identify Americans who oppose what it’s doing. I’ll save them time.
