Writer D. L. Mayfield’s advice for resisting fascism.

From D. L. Mayfield:

Jeffries: "Donald Trump's strategy during this government shutdown that he has created has been to play golf and issue deep fake videos. Mike Johnson's strategy is to keep House Republicans on vacation."

How long can this last? April Ryan & Paul Osadebe on the true cost of the government shutdown "This is crisis moment, guys."

Politics Chat, October 9, 2025 YouTube video by Heather Cox Richardson

@hcrichardson.bsky.social always returns me to rational thought. Yesterday’s political chat was excellent. Link here in case you missed it. www.youtube.com/live/7UgFQT-...

Opinion | Free speech includes the right to call political opponents 'fascists' Top Trump officials say heated political rhetoric is illegal “incitement.” They're wrong — it’s free speech.

You have the right to call President Donald Trump a fascist.

(new @msnbc.com column)

Guess he’s learning that you can have all the wealth but still not be able to take it with you.

They all know in their hearts that they are on the losing side, but the desperate will try to cling to their power for as long as possible.

Maybe I’m not the only one to notice how easily he got away, on foot, and now can’t be found?

Dogs can get stressed with too many people around them. Might be good to leave them at home, really.

I’m so sorry that happened to you and your dog.

The more I read about the poisoned minds behind Trump the more I worry. He’s a failing figurehead who is getting them installed behind the scenes. One day they won’t need him anymore but by then it may be too late for the rest if us. How do we resist against Palant*r for example?

I asked a retired Marine officer if the oath is to serve the Constitution or the President and he said Both. So Trump is setting up the military to determine if his orders are legal or not. He hates the US. Of course he wants to take the military down with the rest of the country.

Well well well. The Supreme Court, 6 to 3, has sold out everyone in the Social Security system by giving Doge full access to all of our data. There is no rational justification for their data mining. NONE. I cannot believe I once put my faith in the Supremes. Fool me once, you corrupt cowards.

Hi Marc, I read your email today, including the part about Bode. I’m very sorry for your loss. Pets are family.

The Republicans are doing all of this work at night, so it’s hidden from most voters. We need the Democrats to bring it all out in the open. And Democrats in Congress, please STOP voting on their bills!!

Hi Senator Hickenlooper, we see the Republicans are doing all of this work at night, so it’s hidden from most voters. But also hidden from Trump, who likely doesn’t know this bill will trigger Medicare cuts? He must agree about the Medicaid cuts, sadly, but he always says he’ll protect Medicare.

FFS! @cnn.com, why are you giving any time to videos pushed by the felon and his team as to the mental competency of Prez Biden. He’s not who we should be concerned with right now. Focus on the 30 minute rants of gobbledygook coming from Trump! #DoBetter

How much more can we hate these people?

Her side job is receptionist for the 9th circle of hell.

Hey #CNN , scared of the Mob Boss in Chief? Yeah, we all thought so, which is why we watch lots of other shows over yours these days. #MeidasTouch

BREAKING: The scene at the Rayburn Building is pure rebellion. Protesters are swarming in during live hearings on Medicaid cuts.

Security’s losing control. Because when the government wages war on the poor, the poor fight back.

They are sissies?

It is time for all Republicans in Congress to step down.

So many layers of corruption.

Because they are sissies who don’t want their neighbors seeing how petty and cruel they are being in order to play act as tough guys. Real men aren’t bullies. I’m so angry about the children left in a truck when ICE agents swarmed the area and stole their father. You’re bada$$? Show your faces. 🤬

I agree. We have nothing to gain by snubbing those who break free from the party of cruelty that is the GOP. Best to welcome them and hope they can help change things.

Thus driving kids away from educational shows to whatever is on their phones or ipads instead.
