The Third Reich didn't last 1,000 years.

Pinochet was ousted with a referendum.

And the US isn't exactly dealing with the smartest, most competent fascists.

Those of you insisting that 2025 is forever need to read a book, touch grass, go to therapy, anything other than trying to make others quit.

A lot of people just don’t realize how unpopular Trump is The backlash to ABC/Disney canceling Kimmel shows why it's important for businesses and the public to understand that two-thirds of Americans are not Trump voters

The backlash to ABC/Disney canceling Kimmel has been swift, and severe. The whole episode underscores something I've been blogging about for a while: A lot of powerful people just don’t realize how unpopular Trump is

So many people are canceling Disney+ over the Kimmel suspension that the cancellation page crashed.

Did you cancel too?

Oklahoma court stops social studies standards with 2020 election misinformation from taking effect The Oklahoma Supreme Court is putting on hold proposed new social studies standards for K-12 public school students that include conspiracy theories about the 2020 election.

Another loss for Oklahoma's MAGA mini-me Ryan Walters.

OK's supreme court blocked new social studies standards that included conspiracy theories about covid and about Trump's loss in 2020. And they blocked the law putting bibles in public schools.

Virginia 2025 Election: Enraged DC Metro Government Workers Will Have Their Say There are few groups more impacted by the chaos and governmental purges than the federal workers that live in the DC Metro area. Virginia could be one of the states most affected by President ...

If there is to be a backlash to "DOGE" and the wanton destruction of the federal government it will be most acutely felt in the DC Metro area. There are six races I am watching in the area including four races we have a shot at flipping.

Pritzker: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal ... I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital constitutional rights if it's being done in the fake guise of fighting crime."

Illinois Gov. Pritzker vows to pursue Trump officials who participate in an illegal National Guard deployment to Chicago:

"If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me - not time or political circumstance - from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law."

I think it’s high time we take back the national narrative. For centuries Americans of all races, genders, religions, and abilities have worked to create a more perfect union, and we should shout from the rooftops that WE are America. Not these idiot white supremacist authoritarians.

Jess Piper warns how GOP-led cuts to Medicaid, public media, and weather services are devastating rural communities. However, there are avenues that Democrats can take to build local power and hope.

Many say he has done the impossible 53.92 vs 46.08%🥳

The world is rejecting Trumpism.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Starting to wonder if we took one for global civic democracy. Electing Trump basically seems to have knee-capped every revanchist far-right candidate in the world. You're welcome, world.

This is leadership.
This is solidarity.
This is good trouble.
