BREAKING: Trump threatens to use the Insurrection Act, allowing him to deploy troops to end protests in Minneapolis.

We are over the cliff folks 🇺🇸

This was the plan

“Liberals think and act as if they’re in a Paul Thomas Anderson or Wes Anderson movie, while conservatives think and act as if they’re in a Quentin Tarantino movie.”

MAGAs: The left is escalating the rhetoric by calling us Nazis

Also MAGAs: Look at our new podium, featuring a Nazi slogan about the time Nazis wiped out an entire village in Czechoslovakia and killed up to 5000 innocent people in retaliation for one Nazi being killed.

"One of ours, all of yours."

I don't think it's ever been more clear that many of these people want to kill us. They want us dead. They want us gone. If you're a Trump supporter who doesn't feel this way, if you're horrified by it, I would encourage you to speak out against violent rhetoric and actions. Because the window for forgiveness is rapidly closing among most of us, if it hasn't already been permanently slammed shut. I warn you: do not be the willful idiot who thinks there's a path back from this. That pendulum is gonna swing back with a lot of goddamn weight, and you do not want to be on the receiving end of it. Rediscover that part of your soul that's humane and act accordingly. There ain't much time left.

When the right-wing talks about “freedom”, they mean freedom to hate who they want and freedom to unalive who they want.

Turns out the guy you all labeled as a “socialist/communist/marxist/far-leftist”, whether it was due to my last name or how you chose to interpret my political beliefs, is one of the few people in this country who actually wants freedom!

they wanted authoritarianism. Totalitarianism. Dictatorship. They don’t even worship God or Jesus, they worship partisan politics, fascism, guns, money, and abuse of power. Heck, abuse of everyone/everything really.

Everyone seems to want to be either a cult leader or a cult member/follower. What about those of us who simply just want to live our lives? Ya know, freedom!
Weird how the people who constantly wave their flags and preach about freedom can’t even practice it. They never wanted actual freedom……

I’ve always felt one of the untold stories of January 6th was how many Secret Service went along with Trump’s insanity and kept their mouths shut in aftermath. Not surprised, as Trump is a master at sniffing out corrupt LE, but their lack of valor added to the weakening of U.S.A.

At least 33 pardoned insurrectionists face other criminal charges—but many are now going free - CREW | Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington At least 33 January 6th insurrectionists pardoned by Trump have been rearrested, charged or sentenced for other crimes since January 6, 2021.

When Trump returned to office years later, he quickly used his power to pardon individuals involved in that attack.

Since Jan. 6, 2021, at least 33 of those pardoned have been rearrested, charged or sentenced for new crimes.

Since then, Trump and his allies have tried to deny the facts and whitewash the truth. I will not be complicit in lies designed to protect his ego and escape accountability. (2/2)

Five years ago today, Donald Trump incited a violent insurrection to overturn the results of a free and fair election he lost. Calling it anything else is a lie. (1/2)

I still remember Ma telling me five years ago that if these insurrectionists on January 6th were Black, then they would be dead. Five years later, they are almost all alive, out of jail, and their guy is back in the White House. If that’s not White privilege, then I don’t know what is.

Five years ago today, a sitting US president incited a violent insurrection to remain in power after losing an election. Donald Trump swore an oath to the Constitution—and on Jan. 6, he violated it.

But the danger didn’t end that day…

The FIFA Peace Prize Winner has now bombed:
•Iran
•Iraq
•Nigeria
•Somalia
•Syria
•Venezuela
•Yemen
•Armed Netanyahu to bomb Palestine, Iran, Syria, Lebanon.

This is the “pro peace” President. Alas, I remember when the FIFA Peace prize meant something.

Asking @stephenasmith2028.bsky.social why he’s talking about issues he knows nothing about?

Merry Christmas to everyone whose joy isn't heightened by the misery of others.

Trump’s DOJ is building a voter purge machine—powered by your private data The federal agency ordinarily would prevent attacks on voting rights. Now it’s carrying them out.

Today, the DOJ sued Colorado for access to its complete voter roll. This marks the 15th state sued over private voter info, 13 of which are led by Democrats. My colleague @ariberman.bsky.social and I published a big piece last week about why this should scare you. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

45 years later, technology has advanced, but mental illness and guns are still 2 of the biggest issues this country faces. Unfortunately certain technologies seem to be enabling those problems instead of curing them.

45 years ago tonight, John Lennon was assassinated with a gun by a mentally unstable man. Much of the country found out while watching Monday Night Football, announcer Howard Kossel broke the news live on the telecast. News didn’t spread as quickly in 1980, no internet, no cell phones.

No more pretense or excuses. Trump and his team have made the white supremacist foundations of this project explicit and clear.

If you enable this you need to face who and what you are. But you can always choose another way.

Choose humanity. Decency. Equality. Democracy.
