Clearly, there is no floor for the New Confederacy fascists.

Trumpโ€™s assault on voting intensifies as midterms loom:โ€˜a wholesale attack on free and fair electionsโ€™ White House is manipulating voting system, from redistricting to rule changes, to affect midterms

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

We cannot let Tuesday's victories lead to hubris and caplacency. It probably just confirmed for Trump that the only way he stays out of prison is to suppress our right to vote.

We need to unite and get to work ensuring 2026 elections are free & fair. #resist

Agreed. I like to think that humans need a spiritual outlet. Pray away. I'm relieved Americans are resisting.

That said, once "spirituality" gets replaced by a fundamentalist religious dogma, you've lost me. Who's right in all the 1,000s of religious rulebooks on Earth? That conflict defies logic.

Why the anger with Billie Eilish? Because itโ€™s against the rules to say what we all know about billionaires | Zoe Williams The singer is giving away millions โ€“ but the parameters for criticising the super-rich are very narrow, and hardly anyone qualifies, says Guardian columnist Zoe Williams

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Great piece. I find it helpful to keep in mind that:
1 billion dollars = $999,999,999.00 + $1.00

Who on Earth really needs that kind of money? The war to have the biggest yachts & largest private residential compounds etc are not helping people or the planet.

Science is the only global/ universal language.

The fascists really do want us to return the dark ages of ignorance, sickness, and religious superstition.

This is a five alarm fire imho. Get involved any way you can. United we stand. #resist

I'm not mad at anyone. It was an honest question for a writer I've been reading for years.

I'm fired up from No Kings. Anyone that sympathizes with that day needs to do everything to stop the complete slide into fasism imho. Hope that provides more context for you.

I agree that online snark needs to end.

How do we stop the circular firing squad and actually get to work on some sort of regular action as follow-up to No Kings? My fear is that Trump isn't going anywhere. I think he's adopting the crown image rather enthusiastically.

Including the majority of the Democratic party.
Pls tell your colleagues to stop trying to preserve the neo-liberal system and instead stand up for the PEOPLE. We need an opposition party that is going against their capitalist donors and creates something fair for all.
