Trump’s message is clear: when Black women rise, he’ll do anything to push us down.

Newsflash: we’re not going anywhere.

Rep. Veronica Escobar: "We need more people marching in the streets."

J.B. Pritzker: "Mr. President, do not come to Chicago. You are neither wanted here nor needed here."

This is how you stand up to bullies and aspiring tyrants.

Last week Trump said he likes the idea of starting a war so he can declare “no more elections” and stay in office forever.

Today he just said “a lot of people” want “a dictator.”

See where this is going?

This might be the most fascistic authoritarian thing the psychotic shitstain has ever announced. This imbecilic fake populist lunatic has no fucking idea that the burning of a red, white, and blue piece of Chinese cloth is protected by the First Amendment.

MAGA Maoism is here to stay: While continuing to screw working class Americans by cutting Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, the Dear Leader has decided that after the fascist authoritarian Trump regime took a stake in Intel, they'll now take stakes in other companies.
