It's wild that we've reached a point where the President openly admits to firing people for political reasons, and his OMB director tweets about it like it's a victory. This is page one of the authoritarian playbook, happening in plain sight.

Trump is inviting Qatari military on to American soil, there are business and billions changing hands, who’s to say this isn’t to eventually use them in addition to his loyalist on American soil.

These people are anti-humanity, they’ve warped religious beliefs for power and control out of fear and delusion. Democrats need to find the moral conviction and leadership to take these people on. If Dems can regain majoirty, billionaires need to be held accountable. www.reuters.com/world/us/pet...

It’s so wild that we reached a point that republicans have self actualized into this extreme version of themselves in Trumps MAGA Facism while democrats lose their identity through their own greed and lack of conviction to their values thinking their being ‘D’ while just fearing being the other.

When people say 'gentle parenting' will create defiant children, what they mean is they don't want their children to feel safe enough to express themselves when they want something or their needs are not met, or they disagree w/ ex. This is the perpetuation of abusive response patterns and beliefs.

Democrat leaders should be leading the protests. It is PRO-AMERICA to remind our leaders and the world, we have NO KINGS. www.nokings.org

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

NEW -- As Trump rushes the country headlong into autocracy, chief propagandist Stephen Miller is already miles ahead of him.

He calls judges who rule against Trump "communists," Democrats who oppose him "terrorists," and claims Trump has absolute power.

She is using the existing power structure as a means to her ends. She supports the idea that they're Narco traffickers, Trump invades, she replaces him. She wins. The Nobel Prize is a bonus. Maduro is fighting a war for the legitimacy of his gov. on multiple fronts.

Some of these media outlets need to take basic psychology classes. Like, can we ask for just one sec why this billionaire tech groomer weirdo would be calling out a person trying to end genocide and the global destruction of our climate? For fuck sake.

Game recognizes game; it would be that this person, who believes it is good to take away the rights of others and enrich himself while causing harm to our society, would see a person who refuses to live within the norms of conformity to atrocities as the antichrist

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.
