The steps from opposing someone or disagreeing with them used to seem far removed from threaten someone's life and terrorizing their family. But, here we are, and don't bother to pretend this is not how the Nazi went from a political party to implementing the murders of millions of innocent people.

This should outrage everyone. Mark Bray, Rutgers professor and antifascist expert, was doxxed and death-threatened by the far right. Even trying to flee to Spain, their travel was sabotaged. The U.S. is no longer safe for scholars—but thanks to support, he and his family are finally in the air, safe

Trump’s regime dramatically increased ICE funding and removed restrictions on the federal agency, resulting in a surge in deportations.

They don’t want you to realize that the House has been on a weeks-long paid vacation because they’re scared of a vote to release the Epstein Files.

What are they trying to hide?

🗣️📣 If you’re not speaking out about Letitia James’ indictment with the same fire you showed before about Jimmy Kimmel,what do your words really mean? She had the courage to take on Donald Trump—now let’s have the courage to stand with her. Speak up. Be loud. Justice needs defenders, not bystanders.

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.

"Donald Trump and Russell Vought are evil, others as well. They revel in others’ pain and want to inflict as much as possible."

Trump and his Project 2025 Reichsleiter are blowing up the US government. Trump doesn't care about the damage, Vought is there to make sure the damage gets done.

💯 Correct, BUT…

Republicans in Congress aren’t acting legitimately.

How does a two party system continue to operate and function when only one party is acting legitimately?

It doesn’t.

Trump and Republicans in Congress are destroying America’s government from within.

IT IS A COUP

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

This is what happens when people do their own research. Somehow their personal biases take precedence over rigorous research. It's OK, we all do it. We just don't get the opportunity to share it like this.

Donald Trump is 6'2" tall and weights 224 lbs. His heart is 14 years younger that his chronological age. Why isn't the press asking whose heart is in Trump chest?

Also, too, how can anyone believe that bullshit about Trump's health? The corporate media has sold us out.

Is it just me, or does it seem the press is actually and completely terrified to report about Donald Trump's physical and mental health the way it would have if anyone else were president?

Folks like Thiel have the ability to determine that words in The Bible are inerrant and then provide us with their somewhat warped interpretation of those words to justify their own life style.

"FACILITY" suggests housing, mess hall, meeting/class rooms and maybe a rec room. The 9 square mile airbase is the home of the 366th Fighter Wing which flies F15E. These are what the Qatari's will train on. Singapore's air force trains at the base. The base also has a nice 18 hole golf course.
