The Speaker of the House Is Abetting Authoritarianism
Every Trump needs his Johnson: a flunky who will rationalize his crimes.
If you put your ear against the Capitol, you can hear the sound of a man who will do nothing to challengeโand anything to justifyโpresidential violations of the Constitution, as long as the president is of his own party. ICYMI @saletan.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/speaker-mi...

The one thing that all fascists share: NO SENSE OF HUMOR WHATSOEVER.
In related news: sense of humor is a main indicator of intelligence.

Question - if wealth taxes donโt work and raise only paltry amounts, how come whenever we start seriously discussing them rich people start pouring resources into trying to start race and class wars as a distraction?

Double checking there were no violent insurrections, beating up of cops, pro-Nazi shirts, and smearing of shit in state Capitols today across the country during the massive NO KINGS protests, right?
Because that's what Trump supporters did on January 6th to overthrow a free and fair election.

Sign of the times at the No Kings rally today in Reno, one of 2500 gatherings across the country against what protesters are denouncing as increasingly authoritarian and militarized policies coming from the federal government. #renoprotest #renoactivism

Telling moment: I was walking back from the rally, but a couple miles from it, carrying nothing but my gigantic American flag. An eight year old on his bike sees me with it and yells "No Kings!!" with absolute conviction.
My friends, they have lost the flag.

Coast Guard bought Kristi Noem two private jets (I guess if one breaks down). Cost: $172 million. Is that what you call draining the swamp?

7 million people marched today. That's greater than world's three largest militariesโ combined.

Memo to Future Historians: This Is Fascism, and Millions of Us See It
From Chicago to Portland, James Comey to Letitia James, and so much elseโthis is no longer America.
"Historians sometimes say that when societies are descending into fascism, it can be hard for the people to notice it in real time. Well, historians of the future, Iโm here to tell you: We are noticing. Millions of us are noticing. And we are horrified and enraged." newrepublic.com/post/201625/...

Millions of Americans may not get their SNAP payments because of the government shut down

No worries. When the FOX cult folks exit that bubble, weโll welcome them to a more grounded and loving reality. Itโs the only option.
