Dallas, Texas. People showed up in the pouring rain to protest the fascism happening in this country. #nokings

Dallas, Texas. No Kings Protest

Great point.

Tim Walz summed it up perfectly ...

One of America's two major political parties seems to have embraced the position that the founders of this country really secretly intended to create a monarchy just like the one they fought to overthrow and that all this democracy talk these past 250 years was just woke political propaganda.

50 Republican Senators just voted to confirm an unqualified drunk — whose own mother thinks he's a threat to women — to run the Pentagon. The GOP is broken. It’s only Day 4.

It turns out the “free speech” guys want the federal government, or its proxies, to control all major communications platforms

Social media post by Secular Talk criticizing Trump for appointing wealthy individuals, featuring a table listing names, political positions, and reported net worths in millions and billions.

This is oligarchy, not democracy.

Oh it’s super clear now, Elon.

Now do Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard & Kash Patel.

The image features a cropped screenshot of an article headline, authored by Alice Thomson, titled "Don’t replace the culture war with class war." Below the headline, a crying man meme is superimposed with text saying: "Bro please don’t worry about why you pay more in taxes than billionaires. Worry about the War on Christmas & The Trans Agenda. Please bro. Stay distracted bro."

Every conservative columnist right now.

🤣🤣🤣

Trump reiterated this morning on Meet the Press that he intends to end birthright citizenship. When told the 14th Amendment says all persons born in the US are citizens, he said, “Well, we’re going to have it changed. We have to end it.”

Bless her heart.

“We’re all rapists here in the GOP” seems like a problematic message.

A tweet from Americans For Tax Fairness announces that the combined wealth of four wealthy Americans has reached $1 trillion. It names Musk, Bezos, Ellison, and Zuckerberg, noting their wealth was $74 billion twelve years ago.

This is unsustainable, especially now that billionaires are taking over our government.

🤣

Indeed.

The incoming Trump administration is not sending their best. They’re sending people with big problems, and they’re bringing those problems to us. They’re rapists. They’re alcoholics. They’re criminals. And some, I assume, are good people 🤷🏽‍♀️

Donald Trump didn’t win by a historic landslide. It’s time to nip that lie in the bud | Mehdi Hasan In 2024, we have a new post-election lie – Trump didn’t just win, Republicans say, but he won big. He won a landslide. That’s false

"Trump won the crucial blue wall states... by 231,000 votes? So if just 116,000 voters across those three swing states – or 0.7% of the total – had switched from Trump to Harris, it is the vice-president who would have won the electoral college … and the presidency" - me for the Guardian:

I can hardly wait!

When objective reality that is seen as “good news” for the party in power is ignored as being “political” we leave a void to be filled by lies. That’s why people are angry at the media. Truth was ignored for “both sides balance” and we all suffered. My latest open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...
