Every time you see someone powerful acting like a craven coward in the face of this authoritarian menace, let it stiffen your own spine. We are all we've got.

X post by Timothy Snyder (@TimothyD ...), posted 6 hours ago. The post reads, "The people Attorney General Bondi is calling 'terrorists' have had no trial and no chance to defend them. We do not know they are. Ignoring the Constitution does not make us safe. It puts us all in peril."

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

Nice ragebait

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

Say it louder for the people in the back

Folks, please do not let your anger with the current administration lead you to be sexist, racist, ableist, etc in my comments, or to wish real-world harm to its individual members. The latter will get you monitored by the FBI; the former is just bullshit. I'll likely hide your comments either way.

this was before the whole senate budget fiasco. they are gonna be polling worse than polio with their own voters soon

Just an envoy?

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

Democratic Leaders Stand Real Still In Hopes No One Notices Them WASHINGTON—With the elected officials trying their hardest not to move a muscle, reports confirmed Monday that top Democratic leaders in Congress were standing real still in hopes that the American pe...

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Hating Elon isn't an excuse to be a jerk to other people for no reason.

Kelly: When I was flying in combat over Iraq during the first Gulf War, I didn’t expect that there was a 10-year-old kid sitting in South Africa who would one day become the richest guy in the world and call me a traitor for doing my job. Now, he kind of acts like a 12-year-old kid

RFK Jr.: It Would Be Better if ‘Everybody Got Measles’ “The measles gave you lifetime protection against measles infection,” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Sean Hannity on Fox News.

Sure, but measles can be dangerous or even deadly.

If only you could get a safer version of the virus that doesn’t make you sick, but creates the antibodies you need.

We should invent something like that.

Shh, don't speak facts. Facts = communism or something.

It's riveting alright

Corporate news isn't inherently bad. While it's good to know who owns your news, factors like editorial independence, transparency, and factual accuracy are more pressing when determining the reliability of a news source. The key issue here is that WaPo's editorial independence has been sacrificed.

Trump is dismantling the Education Department. Here's what it does President Donald Trump has said he wants his new education chief, Linda McMahon, to “put herself out of a job” and close the Education Department.

The whole “trade war” debacle is a red herring. We must not overlook the totalitarian patterns of behavior that the corporate media is less concerned about.

I hope so, too. It might help to think about the odds that were faced back then, and how insurmountable they must have seemed before organized resistance really took hold.

Ah yes, the notoriously violent Civil Rights Movement which ended a century of de jure segregation. The Indian Independence Movement was also exceptionally violent.

Get out there and make your voice heard, and most importantly, vote.

I fail to see why people in the comments are hostile to this. Anything that helps win support for Ukraine in Washington without compromising their fight is a good thing.

Drawing huge crowds, Bernie Sanders emerges as the leader of the anti-Trump resistance At 83 years old, Sanders is not running for president again. But the stooped and silver-haired democratic socialist has emerged as a leader of the resistance to Donald Trump's second presidency.

“This is like presidential campaign rallies, isn’t it? But I’m not running for president, and this is not a campaign,” Sen. Bernie Sanders told The Associated Press. “You gotta do what you gotta do. The country’s in trouble and I want to play my role.”

These are .gov emails for public employees. I believe we have every right to contact them about our concerns, especially since they were installed without the consent of the people.

Image of a book page saying: “Do not obey in advance. Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.”

In 1942, the American President opposed censorship because books were weapons in the fight against tyranny.
