Brendan Carr in 2019: “Should the government censor speech it doesn’t like? Of course not.”

Brendan Carr in 2025: “Except when it’s Jimmy Kimmel dunking on Trump—then suddenly I’m the Ministry of Truth.”

. Fair is to even the playing field. Texas redistricts, California must too!

Please read what the YES is and the No is. Talk with your friends and neighbors. The majority of Americans are unhappy with the Trump regime. It IS time to fight fire with fire.

We do not have the leisure to sit back and hope that we can just win elections fairly while Trump and cronies are doing everything in their power to steal away our democracy.

I understand that Scwarzenegger believes from his time as Governor, that redistricting could be bad for getting things done in California, But that was then, and this is now.

YES ON 50
Arnold Schwarzenegger says that “Two bad behaviors don’t make a right behavior. Two wrongs don’t make a right.”.” And to vote no on 50. This is a guy that made movies such as Conan the Barbarian and The Terminator – both movies supporting fighting fire with fire.

Again: The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left." It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power. (@taxgreed.bsky.social)

We have to stop being blindsided and start acting accordingly.

At least he is standing up to DT and his thugs

I am perplexed beyond reason at the state of this country of those who are silent. Do you think it will save you?
History will not be kind.

If Rachel Maddow, Stephen Colbert and the like can stand up to this takeover, where is everybody else?!!

Is it fear? Or only wanting to protect themselves (I've got mine mentality)?

Where are the Bush's, the Clinton's, the Obama's, the Harris's - the people we stood behind and supported. Where are they now!?

Where are all the people that said how great this country is and received the benefits of said country, and now are silent!

Donald is arming himself against the American public by calling out the National Guard. He says about Washington “It’s becoming a situation of complete and total lawlessness,” Not true. The country has turned against him and he is afraid. Because he knows what HE DID on January 6th!

Bombing for peace is like burning books to promote literacy.

This administration is not simply “a different ideology.”
It is a coordinated, authoritarian machine — with the Supreme Court, the House, the Senate, and the executive pen all under its control.
And you?

You’re still asking for decorum and donations. WTF."

Please read the rest of this. There are somewhere around 45 Millions Democrats - it is time to stand up and fight for our country.

"Dear Democratic Party,
I need more from you.
You keep sending emails begging for $15,
while we’re watching fascism consolidate power in real time.

Yes

There is nothing comforting about “I’m just as scared as you” coming from the legislative branch that’s supposed to keep checks and balances on the executive. While she thought it was relatable, it is actually mortifying.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

Oh well

An Urgent Warning to the West From the Ukrainian 'Elves' Fighting Russian Infiltration Zarina Zabrisky speaks exclusively to Ukrainian officers from the 'Elves' unit about how Putin's agents waged a decades-long hybrid war against their country

If you replace names , places etc. the tools used by the Russians to manipulate other countries can easily be applied to America.
