All I see on my Twitter timeline are reporters parsing every quote from AOC in Germany, trying to mock them for incoherence or inaccuracy, while a demented old man who can’t string sentences together or stay awake sits in the Oval, while the legacy media happily sanewashes his quotes.

Opinion | This Is What Autocracy Looks Like The president didn’t bother to wait for a crisis to launch an authoritarian crackdown.

“there’s no sidestepping a president deploying the military in an American city based on ludicrous falsehoods about a foreign invasion. Indeed, it’s hard to think of a clearer signpost on the road to dictatorship.”

Corporate media has truly failed us. Obsessed with access and focused on nothing more than their monetary perks and book deals, they'll happily slow walk us into the dismantling of the Republic if it means they still get Oval Office exclusives.

Support independent media.

For anyone feeling helpless with all that is happening, please remember: Every authoritarian regime that rose to power by silencing dissent, banning truth, controlling the population through fear and violence has either collapsed, been overthrown or imploded under its own corruption or paranoia.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work.

You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules.

Get your lies straight.

I will never forget that the week Qatar decided to bribe the president of the United States with a plane, CNN decided to focus on the age and health of an ex-president.

Shame.

“What is your red line? When will you stand up for the constitution that you swore to uphold? Thusfar you have not done so.”

A question that, when asked, a R representative will have police or brown shirts forcibly remove you from a town hall.

Shame is what the rep should feel, Shame.

This Is Why Dictatorships Fail The authors of the Constitution separated powers for a reason.

"No one, apparently, is willing to prevent a single man from destroying the world economy, wrecking financial markets, forcing this country and other countries into recession if that’s what he feels like doing when he gets up tomorrow morning"

this is just a level of sickness that i don’t think any society can come back from

So you're telling me these ass hats could've been doing this the WHOLE DAMN TIME!! I swear to God every single Democrat who has voted for his nominees needs to be voted OUT! We can not keep sending these chicken shits to the Congress and senate.

I don’t really like to comment on political strategy but WTF are Schumer and Newsom, two of the most powerful leaders in the Democratic Party, doing right now?

YouTube video by MeidasTouch WTF?!! Schumer CAVES to GOP CR and DEMS ARE PISSED

Grow a spine, Chuck.

Remember this!

The moronic and cruel VA cuts are stunning…

Trump is slashing staff, delaying benefits, and gutting vets’ healthcare—while pretending to “support the troops.” Fewer doctors, fewer services, more vets left struggling.

Patriotism isn’t just waving a flag—it’s taking care of those who served.

Trump says he wants peace, but his actions prove he only wants to increase the amount of carnage. His words mean nothing - watch what he does, not what he says.

I’ve been feeling a particular affinity for the French these days … not just because I’ve watched Casablanca so many times lately that I know the words to the first verse of La Marseillaise forward and backward

Such a petty, petty man

DJT decides not to greet President Macron upon his arrival at the White House

Melissa Harris-Perry. Tiffany Cross. Alex Wagner. Joy Reid.

I'm sure there's a pattern here but I can't quite put my finger on what it could be. (/s)

Passage from Carl Sagan’s 1995 book, the demon haunted world. The passage states “ not explaining science seems to me perverse. When you’re in love, you want to tell the world. This book is a personal statement, reflecting, my lifelong love affair with science. but there’s another reason: Science is more than a body of knowledge; it is a way of thinking. I have a four boating of an America in my children’s or grandchildren’s time - when the United States is a service or information economy; when nearly all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those and authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good, and what’s true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness. The dumbing down of America is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media. The 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially, a kind of celebration of ignorance.

More true every day

Wow!
So 1+1 really does equal 2.

The Texas measles outbreak is hitting the area with the highest vaccine exemption rates. Shocking—if you ignore science.

Bwahahaha.

Mar-a-Lago was listed as "Kremlin Headquarters" for a little while on Google Maps.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

⚡️'No point trying to negotiate' with Putin, Yulia Navalnaya says.

"Even if you decided to negotiate with Putin, just remember he will lie," Navalnaya, widow of late Russian dissident Alexei Navalny, said at the Munich Security Conference two days before the anniversary of her husband's death.

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.
