Robert Reich Five Ways to Fight Trump's Fascism

People are constantly asking me — what can I do?

Between now and the 2026 midterm elections, here are five practical steps you can take to make a difference. https://youtu.be/8W-lVRQQGtI?si=cPTuY2zOryMd4pQ5

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

If you're a good enough friend, my deck will be as mean to you as it is to me. #tarot

Me: Why am I so cold? I've turned the heat up?
:: remembers my covid and flu shots from this morning ::
Me: uhoh

yes 100% this. when you stop viewing it as harm reduction and instead view it (accurately) as harm displacement, the prospect of supporting these clowns is a lot less convincing.

it’s always been “who’s getting harmed instead.”

Time to hurt my feelings with tarot!

Americans are finally starting to receive their SNAP benefits.

Trump is rushing to the Supreme Court to try to ensure those people starve.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.

The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

"We had a fire drill today."
"What were you setting on fire?"
"No. A fire drill."
"Why are you setting drills on fire?"

I just tried to swipe "body doubling" in my phone and it came up "body fucking". A better person than I would take this as a sign to swear less.

Prices since Trump took office:

-Groceries: ⬆️ 2.7%
-Utilities: ⬆️ 11%
-ACA premiums: ⬆️ 26%
-Overall consumer prices: ⬆️ 3%

Trump: “I don't want to hear about the affordability.”

Tell your house you love her today 🥰🏠#witchsky #okthankyougoodbye

Spending the morning tidying my house because I love her and she deserves to feel pretty. Got that frankincense resin incense burning, too, and even though the world is ✨chaos✨ it's feeling pretty good in here

The SNAP contingency fund holds around $6 billion.

Trump refuses to spend it on the American people.

The same guy who just fast-tracked $40 billion to Argentina.

Trump thinks Argentina deserves our money while he lets Americans starve.

Trying to make friends with moms at the playground reminds me why I prefer internet friends, generally

Listen... For gluten free? That's not a bad loaf.

The hardest part about making bread is not opening the oven to check on it

The White House just posted this they are not mad they swear they are so not mad

Ok, now come on ✨ Minneapolis ✨

The oligarchy came out in full force against Zohran Mamdani's fight for a more affordable NYC.

It didn't matter.

Let his victory in the face of Big Money serve as a reminder that people have the power.

Lololol

Misinformation spreads with quick in app searches. The first step of media literacy is getting ✨off the app✨ and searching for the stories yourself. It doesn't escape my attention this video has been under review for some time. #declutterdc

the president has destroyed the east wing of the white house without so much as a word of input from anyone else to build a royal ballroom paid for with bribes

Potentially controversial take:

If you use pity marketing ("I opened this business with my dad and no one comes in" [pans over to dad sitting alone at a restaurant bench]) I will never cross the threshold of your establishment.
