The referendum against Trump and his manifesto of hate, racism, bigotry, cruelty, and authoritarian fascism has begun in earnest. Democrat Abigail Spanberger is going to be Virginia's next governor. Tonight, at the polls, voters are responding to Trump's Nazification of America.

"Bury him face down." This barn burner of an obit might feel hyperbolic to people who entered the world in the wake of 9/11; it's not. Cheney was one of the architects of today's American Christian conservatism. He was directly responsible for millions of deaths. Salt the earth where he's buried.

Kind of ironic, really, that the creator of DILBERT - who was a Trump booster (and a wacko to boot) - has to beg for help like this.

U.S. Steel. Nvidia. Intel. Westinghouse. By squeezing one company after another, Trump "is literally seizing the means of production," writes @jvl.bsky.social.

He's "a socialist...trying to make the American economy function more like Communist China." And all the while calling Mamdani a communist.
Donald Trump Is a Commie
Bernie’s democratic socialism is still compatible with liberal democracy. Trump’s national socialism is not. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

There is ample historical, political, and economic research about policies that help combat fascism.

Are Democratic Party leaders promoting these policies? No. You know who is? Democratic Socialists.

And—again—these used to be policies that fit VERY comfortably within the Democratic Party tent.

“What is needed is anti-fascist economic policy—an economic policy that offers a solution to socioeconomic decline and can ease people’s fears about the future. We need a concrete, democratic alternative to the status quo.”

Data from ICE shows that none of its agents have ever been killed by an immigrant in the agency’s more than two-decade history.
How dangerous is it really to work for ICE?
According to ICE’s own data, none of its officers have been killed by an immigrant in the agency’s history.

NYC is going to have the world's biggest media-manufactured crime panic in history the second Mamdani is elected. They aren't even going to wait until he is inaugurated. Whether or not you like the guy, you need to start preparing now for the fire hose of disinformation that is about to activate.

Sooner or later, someone is going to respond to one of these ICE goons by returning the violence and it's not going to end well -- not for the goon, not for the victim, not for any of us.

Col Steven Lockjaw, or the man who served as his model, Greg Bovino, has videographers from DHS's Office of Public Affairs following him around Chicagoland, with the purpose of creating propaganda. Because everything he does is designed to entertain the MAGA base.

The moment Trump dies, this will be the sum total of the GOP. It took them 60 years, but the Dixiecrats finally took over the entire party.

America has no idea what's about to hit them. "Young Republicans" are fully steeped in neo-Nazi edge lord talking points. Fuentes is the present and future of the GOP. After Trump, this is the new form of MAGA. The establishment isn't built for this fight.

I hope this is the start of something big for Democrats‼️

NEW: Barack Obama personally called Zohran Mamdani, the front-runner for NYC mayor, to praise his campaign and offer to be a “sounding board.”

Democrats, take notes…
