Fealty to Donald Trump will not spare you from his cruelty.

It's strength — not weakness — that curbs his baser instincts.

Now is the time for us to be strong.

Despite the hype, DOGE hasn't found a shred of fraud All they've really got is "spending that Elon Musk doesn't like."

New in PN: Despite the hype, DOGE hasn't found a shred of fraud

"With nothing to show for its efforts to find actual fraud, it has become clear that DOGE is the enforcement arm of a Trump administration that has no interest in working with Congress to implement its policy priorities."

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

these clowns are genuinely not prepared for the violent backlash that's coming their way once the cascading failures from destroying government agencies and the social safety net start to manifest in concussive, very unsubtle waves

Donald Trump was recruited by KGB with codename 'Krasnov', claims ex-Soviet spy Donald Trump was recruited by the KGB with the codename 'Krasnov', claims an ex-Soviet spy.

Since American media outlets are scrubbing the Internet of this story… thanks, Yahoo UK! www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/uk-worl...

Sure hope so.

To my Michigan followers in Metro Detroit: we have to show up and make our voices known.

“At least Russia has elections”

Russia frequently jails and kills any opposition to Putin, who has been in power since 1999.

If you like dictatorships, that’s fine. Just admit that. Don’t insult anyone’s intelligence—including your own—by claiming Russia has real elections.

It’s not a coincidence—it’s a warning.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame.

The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight.

It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

History: “Eventually the incompetent fascists invariably lose power and then society recovers in a new and stronger way”

Me: “Oh, cool, so what has to happen for the spell to be broken??”

History: “mmmm…well, that part is less encouraging.”

Van Hollen: "Can you imagine FDR in the middle of WW2 saying to Churchill, 'you know, we're not going to continue to help you until you turn over half of your coal and mineral reserves.' That's not how you behave when you want to support a friend who's under attack by an authoritarian like Putin."

I worked on this story for a decade and he just said it out loud on Fox News

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IN CASE OF ICE: CONOCE TUS DERECHOS EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:

DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR. ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge. Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door. NO ABRAS TU PUERTA. ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.

ASK THEM TO LEAVE. If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission. 2 PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN. Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.

REMAIN SILENT. You have the right to remain silent. If the agents ask you questions, tell them, "I wish to remain silent." PERMANECE EN SILENCIO. Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio. Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles: "Deseo permanecer en silencio".

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Go ahead.

Let the people see you for what you are.

This is why you fight these cowards.

The moment you stand up to them, they crumble.

Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights.

He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Massive protests in the US as the country faces an ongoing coup d’état by the Trump regime and his oligarch cabal headed by Musk.

Countless people are standing up to fascism proving the US will not go quietly.

New Orleans food may actually make me believe in God again tbh

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

every day I think about the comms strategy of the korean opposition party in the wake of the coup and I get so burningly resentful that other countries have legislators who are awake

I think we might know where all the missing Dem ballots went

This is Ethan Shaotran. He's one of Musk's DOGE takeover hackers

2 yrs ago he won the Berkeley AI Hackathon

But in 2000 won the HackGT7 with a ballot altering program called BallotProof

Here's the deep dive that he couldn't scrub....

What can you do?

Don’t give up hope. Dictators feed off your hopelessness.

Don’t quit. Dictators want you to give up.

Punch back. Dictators are bullies, and bullies are cowards.

Stay tethered to the truth. Dictators need you to believe their lies.

Resist. Stand with others.

Some good news:

Corewell Health has reversed its decision to comply in advance for following through with pediatric GAC ban.

Following Michigan AG Dana Nessel stating last Friday that such practices deviate from Michigan anti-discriminatory law, 1/3

Because you're stupid and choose to stay that way.

Goldman: "My Republican colleagues are so weak and afraid of Donald Trump that they're willing to undermine their own constitutional authority just to please them. You're giving away your own power in fealty to Donald Trump."

I feel like so many people I know are just dissociating/pretending everything in America is totally fine and normal. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR YOU TO OPEN YOUR DAMN EYES??????
