Every time he escalates in another city the question is not "is this proof he's a fascist" that ship has fucking sailed the question is "does he have the capacity to make this happen and what opportunities for resistance and refusal are opened up by this provocation?"

The only reason you assassinate every Al Jazeera journalist left in Gaza is because you don’t want anyone to document the genocide you are about to accelerate.

Any politician and any journalist who cannot call this genocide for what it is, is complicit, and I hope history remembers you as such.

We need Gov. Whitmer to reject the Line 5 oil tunnel scheme with the same force as she did when she revoked Enbridge's easement for the aging pipeline.Β

Enbridge's proposed tunnel might sound like a solution, but it's more like a bandaid on a bullet wound. Let's not gamble with our environment or the future of our beloved Great Lakes.

The highest levels of the Trump administration are collaborating with the FBI and DOJ to cover-up evidence the President committed sexual crimes against children.

Unspeakably corrupt, and not a single Republican in Congress can be expected to speak out against it.

UPDATE: Governor Abbott just threatened to REMOVE THE TEXAS DEMS FROM THEIR SEATS if they don’t return by 3pm Monday (so Republicans can steal 5 seats in Congress using a special session about the flooding as cover) β€” and charge them with FELONIES.

We are over the cliff.
