What ARE we doing? Becoming habituated to lying, to over-militarized “policing,” to fear, and inured to loss of rights, to horrific, murderous violence streaming into our palms … while creating traumatizing PTSD in millions & millions of us.

Then rinsing, washing, and doing it all over again.

This American is confused too

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.

Tulsi Gabbard is trying to gaslight you in the name of authoritarianism, points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

It would be helpful to your readers to see additional reporting showing just how much money Evergy reserved for profits last year — one year — of more than $800million. Why is it not incumbent on KCC to demand Evergy reinvest in its own business before going to the customer for rate increases?

Let's show up. Let's organize. Let's win.

The next few months need to resemble the 2017 fight to save the ACA. In the end, we won. Call Congressmembers, confront them at town halls, offices, airports & fundraisers. Hold events so Congressmembers look really bad for being afraid of constituents.

Just so we're all clear: It's not a coincidence that the first senator they've used physical force against is Sen. Alex Padilla, a Latino man representing California.

THIS from Cory Booker:  "… we have a constitutional obligation to provide oversight to the executive."

And to speech.
And to assemble.
And to ask questions
… of the very heads of the very departments over which the senator has fiscal/appropriations authority.

Padilla’s manhandling and handcuffing is designed for optics, as always. It’s also a good barometer for just how comfy this regime and their goons have become in their fascistic ways.

Former federal inmate pardoned by Trump tapped as Bureau of Prisons deputy director Joshua J. Smith, a Tennessee businessman whom the president pardoned during his first term, now advocates for inmate rehabilitation.

I know everyone is occupied w authoritarian tactics of Trump sending marines & national guard to LA but wanted to show the hypocrisy of this lawless regime.

it isn’t and they know it which is why 1) they are rushing to do 4+ years worth of harm before the midterms, fully expecting to lose Congress but just hoping the damage is irreversible by then; 2) they are doing mostly small-scale symbolic horrors to intimidate the public, due to limited capacity

Trump Lets “Good” Banks Hide Their Bad Fees Last year, credit unions were forced to disclose the billions they made charging their members unnecessary junk fees. Now Trump is once again hiding their grift.

WTH, people?! Was this a campaign issue you demanded be “fixed” like this?
Last year, credit unions were finally made to disclose the billions they made by charging their members unnecessary junk fees.
Now? Well… Trump’s hiding their grift once again.
