The words from Gov Cox of Utah are the words they should be coming from the president of the United States.

Will the media hold him, and people like Nancy Mace accountable for their false accusations?

This is so insane and horrible…

Brilliant.

Portland, Maine crowd as Democratic US Senate candidate Graham Platner takes the stage today.

The umpire who picked a side: John Roberts and the death of rule of law in America The chief justice of the US has painted himself as a modern institutionalist over the past 20 years. Experts say he’s emboldening Trump’s drive toward authoritarianism

THIS...
#SCOTUSIsCorruptCabal IS Responsible for OUR Loss of Democracy. PERIOD.

Pritzker has his staff exploring how to force Apple and Google to disable location tracking for anyone crossing into Illinois for medical procedures, preventing any digital trail that could be subpoenaed. Multiple governors are studying whether they can legally deny federal agents access to state databases, airports, and even highways for immigration enforcement. The discussions, according to sources, have gone as far as evaluating state authority to close airspace to federal deportation flights. States are creating pharmaceutical stockpiles, climate agreements, immigration policies. The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact has secured 209 electoral votes. The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative’s 11 states have reduced emissions by 50% while the federal government rolled back climate regulations. The U.S. Climate Alliance’s 24 governors represent 60% of the American economy. California doesn’t wait for Washington anymore. Neither does New York. Or Illinois. They’re building functioning governmental systems that operate independently of federal authority.

More from this article, which for the first time in months, makes me hopeful that Dems ARE doing "something".

VERY important to read this! Blue states are already coordinating among themselves to “soft secede” from Trumpreich!

I love this so much.

The Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 called for dismantling the NOAA, which provides warnings of natural disasters, such as the deadly floods in Texas. The irony is that Heritage wanted these cuts because it’s angry that NOAA helps prove the reality of climate change--the thing causing floods.

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

Why social democracies work and Trump/GOP’s America doesn’t

The Bizarre Right-Wing War on…Empathy? It’s hypocritical and often misogynistic—and echoes totalitarian rhetoric.

One of the weirdest fads of MAGA rhetoric is a loathing of "empathy." (Sometimes they talk of "suicidal empathy," which Elon Musk, that colossal jackass, calls a "civilizational risk.")

Let's examine the stupidities and hypocrisies of this anti-empathy rhetoric:

They’re not “deporting” people, they’re kidnapping them and sending them to foreign prisons. Concentration camps. They’re paying these countries to imprison humans. It’s human trafficking.

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

Even Elon Musk's AI Grok says Trump's tariffs will be definitively bad for the U.S. economy.
