I never realized how quickly the dominoes would fall once companies started tipping toward oblivion.

One day this will be over, because Fascism is self-defeating. I'll never forget the businesses and companies that caved and acted against our freedom.

I'll remember even more those that resisted.

‘Censoring you in real time’: suspension of Jimmy Kimmel show sparks shock and fears for free speech ABC decision over Kimmel comments about Charlie Kirk killing comes hours after Trump-appointed chair of US media regulator threatened broadcaster’s license

Real question:

Do American corporations like ABC actually realize how upset much of their viewership is getting as they constantly capitulate and bow to Fascist pressure?

Do they care?

I'm deeply curious: How many of us are sick of participating in our social structure the way it's operating?

... It doesn't have to be this way, and our collective decisions can change everything. Perhaps some will be brave and lead the way.

Everything is possible.

Supreme Court lifts limits on ICE stops in LA LA Mayor Karen Bass said the ruling means "federal agents can racially profile Angelenos with no due process."

How close or likely is California to split off and become its own country at this point, as it faces targeted oppression from the US Government against the will of The People?

Or might we see a Newsom presidency in the near future?

Florida lawmakers allowed into ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ say detainees packed into cages | CNN Deep in the hazardous and ecologically fragile Everglades, hundreds of migrants are confined in cages in a makeshift tent detention facility Florida’s Republican governor calls “safe and secure” and D...

Well, folks...

"Never again" is literally happening again.

We need more viable parties.

Nothing shows the world an "empire in decline" quite like a squeaky tank parade led by a delusional, incompetent leader counting empty seats as a standing ovation.

It's like the wannabe emperor showed up with no clothes.

Meanwhile, 12 million people show up literally everywhere to protest him.

Thanks for being there in full solidarity!

It's a very good sign! Don't tread on Minnesota!

Reports coming in indicate an attendance at the Minnesota capitol of 80,000!

Me too! I was with my dad. It's what he wanted to do for Father's Day

A MAGA extremist assassinated Minnesota lawmakers last night.

Governor Walz insisted everyone stay home and not protest, as the assassin is still on the loose and credibly may have intended to harm protesters.

Organizers cancelled.

Tens upon tens of thousands of Minnesotans showed up anyway.

Did you get through to the final page? It kept letting me through the first two forms and going back to the beginning even in Chrome.

Congressman Tom Emmer

Has my representative, Majority Whip Tom Emmer, gone dark? I try to contact him via online forms, but it sends me into endless loops which never produce a real contact page.

BlueSky'ers: Can you test and report back? I'm trying to ask him to stop Trump's Fascist invasion & tried Chrome and Firefox.

No matter who you are or who you love, you are welcome here.

Happy Pride Month, Minnesota!

Thank you so much for your understanding, unwavering support for real people's lives and dignity, always.

The same people who manipulated themselves into power want to take everything from us.

They want to steal our autonomy. Our freedom. Our resources. Our society. Our culture.

They would enslave us to the way they think, and enforce the way they think we should live: serving them.

I refuse.

Republicans Pass Strictest Medicaid Work Requirement They’ve Ever Put Forward

Does anyone else hear "serve the rich or die" in this?

Most first world societies on the planet value everyone's life without requirement.

:) Indeed.

Don't let the b******* grind YOU down.

Brilliant.

Indeed. The Handmaid's Tale once seemed like a theoretical, frightening possibility at a distance. Now? . . . Yeah, prophetic.

She's not just speaking to Gilead.
Does this feel like fiction?

(Clip from The Handmaid's Tale, Season 6, Episode 9.)

She’s not just speaking to Gilead.

Does this feel like fiction?

People working for the US gov't today must literally be asking themselves,

"Will I give this person up to the Nazis?" (Replace Nazis with MAGA.)

Gratitude to every single person who has, and continues to make the moral decision to say, "NO!"

Intelligence. Military. Police. Officials. Everyone.

The Science of Autocracy Suggests the U.S. Is Headed for Dictatorship The red flags abound—political research tells us the U.S. is becoming an autocracy

Every act of resistance and word that strengthens our Democracy matters.

We can together reverse this plague of unlawful dictatorship. We each may not always know how, but remember:

You matter.

Apparently enough people were convinced things were bad enough to choose Fascism over freedom, even if they didn't see it in those stark terms.

It may have been brainwashing. It may have been Fox News propaganda meeting Russian interference. Maybe many just learned to hate people instead of listen.

Supreme Court allows Trump to implement transgender military ban The blanket ban, expanding on a similar policy Trump proposed in his first term, has been blocked nationwide by lower courts.

I feel like I live in a Land of hate. Yet, I know the People are better (for the most part) than the horrible government that misrepresents us every single day.

Text me. I may need to first clear out a throat infection that has been building for most of the week starting with a chlorine burn and maybe allergies.

Anyone with so much power and money, that they manipulate the public and bend reality to their liking, must be stopped.

Our world is in peril at the hands of self-interested people leading us all off a vast cliff.

They have no reason to uplift society, help people, or cherish the planet.

It's up to us. Me too.

People who create the strategic maps functionally allowing us to collectively cut social power off from those nefariously misdirecting us will be the next great leaders and philosophers.

It's that or let compassionless foolishness destroy everything.
