The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.

Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.

Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.

But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Remember this.

Obama: As for the president, he has been focused on critical issues like paving over the rose garden so folks don't get mud on their shoes and gold plating the Oval Office and building a ballroom… If you can't visit a doctor, don't worry. He will save you a dance.

Nothing says 'good Christian' like taking food out of children's mouths while you're firing up the nukes.

Jack Schlossberg, JFK's grandson, Caroline's son, posted this photo. I strongly recommend following him, "jackuno."

So much of this gorgeous photo, bulldozed & covered with slabs of concrete. Soulless. Empty.

This photo is all about life, color, beauty, promise.

Now bulldozed & drowned in cement.

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.

Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called β€œkids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

There’s Nothing More Patriotic Than Dissent. Don’t Let Anyone Tell You Otherwise Β Ahead of October 18th’s nationwide β€˜No Kings’ Day, some Republican leaders tried desperately to rebrand the protest against President Trump’s policies, not just as un-American, but as anti-American. But, this Republic was founded on dissent. The right to peaceably assemble and to seek redress of our government is etched into our Constitution. And it has been the catalyst for progress for generations.

You can & should be critical of your government if it is failing to live up to its ideals. Dissent is the highest form of patriotism. And if they tell you otherwise, then they are afraid of the power of your voice #Velshi

Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.

Trump hates to be the object of humor. He understands that humor can be a more powerful antidote to tyranny than any other form of criticism.

I'm sure he'd hate it if you shared this cartoon. [Cartoon by Jon Adams/The New Yorker]

β€œTerrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

Just an FYI: We’re not facing a β€œgovernment shutdown.” This is a Trump-MAGA Republican shutdown. Call it what it is.
