When you look up "domestic enemy" in the dictionary, it says "see him."

Pro tip: Live in such a way that you don't get a preview of the joy and celebrations people will be having after your passing.

Given the level of finger-pointing and screaming at each other currently emanating from various big names in the GOP, I expect the next step is going to be the formation of a circular f*r*ng squad arranged in a very complex Venn diagram.

If you work for Faux "News," you should know that that stain doesn't ever come out of your résumé.

Deploying the military on U.S. soil as law enforcement against Americans was on page 555 of Project 2025.

So don’t say “I didn’t vote for this,” because you did.

This isn’t a response.
This was always their plan.

Breaking: ABC News says senior national correspondent Terry Moran "has been suspended pending further evaluation." This since-deleted tweet is the reason for the suspension:

CHARACTERISTICS OF FASCISM Authoritarianism: Fascism advocates for strong centralized power, often led by a single leader or party, with limited or no accountability. Nationalism: Fascist ideologies emphasize a fervent loyalty and devotion to the nation, promoting a sense of superiority and often emphasizing cultural or ethnic purity. Totalitarianism: Fascist regimes aim to control and regulate all aspects of society, including politics, the economy, and individual lives. Suppression of Dissent: Fascism seeks to silence or eliminate opposition, often through censorship, propaganda, and the use of force. Militarism: Fascist ideologies frequently glorify military strength, expansionism, and aggressive foreign policies, often viewing war as a means to achieve national greatness.

Non-violent resistance to fascism: Educate communities, amplify truth, and organize peacefully. Vote, protest, and support free press.
Build solidarity through art, dialogue, and mutual aid to counter hate with hope and unity. #ResistFascism

Thank you, Robert Reich for reminding us that Trump is not invincible, he is but a coward hiding behind the green curtain. He’ll be cowering in his bunker soon. “I won’t, back down, no I won’t back down, you can stand me up at the gates of Hell but I won’t back down.” Tom Petty

The feds kidnapping and trafficking people is a violent crime. Protesting it is fighting back against abuses of power. The government claiming protestors started the violence is DARVO—Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender. It’s what abusers do when they face consequences.

Keep the sequence of events clear in your mind:

ICE was preparing to snatch day laborers from a Home Depot in order to meet deportation quotas set by Trump.

Community members protested.

ICE responded with flash-bangs and tear gas.

ICE started it and ICE escalated it. Period. #LosAngeles

SEIU California | SEIU California President David Huerta Injured, Detained at ICE Raid in Los Angeles We are proud of President Huerta’s righteous participation as a community observer, in keeping with his long history of advocating for immigrant workers and with the highest values of our movement…

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing.

ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him.

"I don't owe anyone anything" is a brattitude commonly shared by house cats, libertarians, and two-year-olds.

It's not a good look. Don't wear it.

“When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another…” The words from the Declaration of Independence resonate now more than ever given Trump.

This administration's cybersecurity actions from a holistic standpoint can only be explained by one explanation:

"An Apple spokeswoman blamed the issue on phonetic overlap between the two words"

The Letter suggests, however, that a wide variety of core instruction, activities, and programs that schools, from pre-kindergarten through post-graduate education, use to teach and support their students now constitute illegal discrimination. 10. For example, the Letter appears to ban the teaching of history and other subjects that acknowledges “systemic and structural racism,” claiming that such instruction is discriminatory. It is not clear how a school could teach a fulsome U.S. History course without teaching about slavery, the Missouri Compromise, the Emancipation Proclamation, the forced relocation of Native American tribes, the laws of Jim Crow, Brown v. Board of Education, the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II, or the Civil Rights Acts, the Fair Housing Act and the Voting Rights Act without running afoul of this prohibition. 11. Likewise, the Letter appears to ban any existing voluntary associations or student groups, such as a Black Student Union. These groups are open to all yet provide programming to support and amplify the lived experiences of students or faculty who are members of a particular demographic. 12. The Letter appears to ban all programming in support of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (“DEI”), again despite the fact that such programming is lawful and previous presidential administrations of George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Donald Trump, and Joe Biden have supported such efforts. 13. Finally, despite invoking the Supreme Court’s 2023 decision on college admissions, the Letter goes well beyond that holding and states that many legal, evidence-based, and well-accepted ways to foster inclusivity and increase diversity of all types are nevertheless considered discriminatory by this administration

If you don’t think Trump is taking over the US Mail to do away with mail-in voting, you haven’t been paying attention.

The White House is expected to issue the order to dismantle the Postal Service today. We must take immediate action to protect this important public service that we all rely on, as well as the letter carriers who make it possible.
