Civil rights and freedom. Pluralism and nonviolent protest.

The values Americans cherish are under assault by Donald Trump.

THIS IS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, and California will keep peacefully pushing back against the Trump Administration's authoritarian takeover.

Trump- ceasefire or severe consequences.
Putin- no ceasefire.
Trump- no consequences

We are not children of the gods, we are their ancestors.

David Eller, paraphrased

A very popular error: having the courage of one’s convictions; rather it is a matter of having the courage to attack one’s convictions.

500 law firms challenge Trump's executive orders in court: what to know

500 law firms challenge Trump's executive orders in court: what to know

As markets melt down around the world, Congress could act right now to prevent an economic collapse before markets open on Monday.

The only thing standing in the way is a few spineless Republicans.

Tonight, we forced Republicans to take a simple vote:

Can we all agree that billionaire corporations like Amazon and Tesla - who take home over $1 billion in sheer profit a year - shouldn't get another tax handout?

Republicans said no.

Mark Kelly: "This is not surprising. Here's a guy who told Americans to inject bleach into their bodies, who sent a mob to Capitol Hill. And now I think it's fair to say he stands out as singlehandedly destroying more wealth with his bad decisions than anybody else who has ever lived on this planet"

This is part of what’s so insane. As they talk about re-shoring and manufacturing they are actively trying to destroy an entire us manufacturing industry that already exists.

Trump Tells NBC He ‘Couldn’t Care Less’ About Higher Auto Prices President Donald Trump said he “couldn’t care less” if automakers raise car prices in response to the planned tariffs on imported vehicles.

Ex-press secretary compares Trump's press pool takeover to state-run media ""They are attacking the fiber of the freedom of the press," she said.

Former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre denounced the Trump administration's takeover of the White House press pool.

"When the White House press team decides to step in and override the White House Correspondents Association … then what we're looking at is state TV," she said.

Screenshot of a Tweet from Dominic Grieve on Mar 1, 2025 The events this week confirm for me the opinion I expressed in my last post. Pleased as I am that our PMs visit to Washington seemed to be reasonably successful, it is hard not to see the entire week as a performative pantomime orchestrated by Trump. He placated France and the U.K., whilst preparing for a deliberate and choreographed attack on President Zelensky, a visiting head of state, that guaranteed the failure of his visit. The behaviour of Trump and vice President Vance was outrageous-as a piece of theatre it was straight from the playbook of Hitler's summons of President Hacha of Czechoslovakia to Berlin in 1939 to sign away its independence. Zelensky was entitled to say what he did. There was nothing remotely disrespectful about it. He stood up to the crude bullying that now seems the hallmark of the Trump administration. Even more chilling is the sense that we are seeing much more clearly Trump's motives. It is not about "peace" but doing a deal with Putin's Russia-Ukrainian land and people to be traded for the benefit of Russian raw materials. Just like the Hitler-Stalin Pact and we know how that ended.

Putin was supposed to occupy Kyiv in 3 days, and after 3 years he has occupied Washington instead. #trump #zelensky #putin

Megyn Kelly slammed as she fumes Zelensky should've 'sucked up' to Trump

Megyn Kelly has said Volodymyr Zelensky should have "sucked up" to Donald Trump as she accused the Ukrainian President of showing "dumb diplomacy" during their meeting at the White House on Friday.

Sucking up is perhaps the underlying problem.

Way past time for trump to be dumped
