The Third Reich didn't last 1,000 years.

Pinochet was ousted with a referendum.

And the US isn't exactly dealing with the smartest, most competent fascists.

Those of you insisting that 2025 is forever need to read a book, touch grass, go to therapy, anything other than trying to make others quit.

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

Tulsi Gabbard has learned her lesson. So have Edward Snowden, Vladimir Putin, and Bashar al-Assad.

Folks trying to save USAID are trying to counterprogram Musk's $40 million Super Bowl ad. They're asking everyone to share this video as widely as you can today: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqUE...

Yes - I did the same as you, but I have no idea if they’ll be able to understand what I said. Try calling the local offices for the reps, although in my case, those mailboxes were full too.

Every time I remember Stephen Miller designed this rush of orders to burn me out specifically I get a new burst of energy from the spite alone. The very thought of my exhaustion giving him an ounce of joy makes me want to burst through walls

In honor of black history month, I will be doing a daily thread of James Baldwin quotes. If you have never heard of the late great Mr Baldwin, he was a trailblazer in so many ways. If the weather is crappy where you are might I suggest β€œI Am Not Your Negro” a 2016 documentary.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Trump must be held to account:
- his agenda is raising prices for everyone
- he’s breaking the US govt/our public health system
- he fired senior aviation security leadership and 67 people died
- his foreign aid pause may be causing mass death

I just want to say for the record that when the history books are written centuries from now, I believe the election of Donald Trump in a free and fair election in 2024 will go down as one of the most senseless and self-destructive own goals in human history
