This is an old formula used by authoritarian regimes. Stoke chaos and blame scapegoats to justify the use of force.

Sen. Schiff to NBC: "He's described me as the enemy within. He's described other Democratic elected officials as the enemy within. He is using the Justice Dept. to go after his political enemies, and he's using the Justice Dept. to protect his political friends … This should concern every American."

Gov. Pritzker: "[ICE] killed an unarmed person just a couple of weeks ago in Franklin Park...They killed somebody...They are just putting out their propaganda and then we've gotta later determine what actually happened."

Ed Sheeran praises Taylor Swift’s songwriting skills:

β€œAnytime I’ve written with Taylor, but Taylor is also just a great songwriter on her own anyway. She usually comes in with a concept that’s almost done.”

Historian here, I know the tech bros are poster children for fascism but what about Stephen Miller who was a philosophy major like Goebbels Kevin Roberts of Project 2025 fame who is a historian and Russ Vought who majored in history and political science. These β€œthinking men” are just as dangerous!

There is no longer room in America to be "apolitical."

We can no longer assume that the rest of the nation operates in its best interests and will carry American democracy across the finish line for us.

Every person who cares about living in a free society must mobilize their passion and power.

Partisan gerrymanders may be legal, but only because SCOTUS said so. They are anti-democratic measures used by a party that fears losing power to hold onto control, a mechanism that lets parties choose their voters instead of letting voters choose who will represent them.

Question about law enforcement....

If a local (city/county) policeman sees a federal officer break the law, what is his duty?

I won’t link it, but I just read a truly frustrating thread. An Israeli anti-war advocate, who’s been working in this area for DECADES, was very patiently explaining to a US anti-zionist that they are not, in fact, an evil fascist genocide-supporter. 1/3

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow that’s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?

Its up to us to save the America of our rights and freedoms- the America of our Constitution - if we can. We can push back- we have seen that can be effective . We can stand with those who are being oppressed. Dont lose hope

Democracy Docket has a reporter in the courtroom covering the Texas redistricting hearing every single day. Meanwhile, the big legacy media is nowhere to be found.

At stake are 5 congressional seats. If this matters more than both sides journalism, become a DD subscriber today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Nothing says America First like bailing out Argentina while making healthcare unaffordable for 20+ million Americans.

Or signing an Article 5 protection treaty with Qatar coz they bribed you with a plane, while screwing over longstanding NATO allies.

Folks, I think America First might be a scam.
