It's the Final Countdown

Greg Olear @gregolear.bsky.social · Jul 1

"The Rough Beast was indeed re-elected. We are now just three days away from the Fourth of July 2025. And the America that existed when my book came out last May has, alas, already changed as drastically, and as uglily, as a MAGA woman’s Mar-a-Lago’d face."

Fascism in the USA Enters the Fifth & Final Phase

A survey of the work of fascism experts shows that, five months into the Trump Redux, our democracy is reeling. Can it be saved?

Someone who thinks that dagging children from their homes in the dark of night & zip tying them, assaulting priests, & violating American's rights....makes "jesus smile" is someone who is a bad person, not an "avenging angel".

Those who join ice are abusive cowards.

Republicans ignored Helsinki, J6 and chose the convicted felon to lead their party. They control both houses of congress. They knew they just don't care.

This senile liar who currently occupies the White House does not remember that he was President on January 6th.

If you voted for this senile liar, and if you enable him today, you clearly are ok with breaking America. The ruins of our once great nation are because of you.

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.

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

Live performance of "For What It's Worth" by Buffalo Springfield in 1967. The song was written in 1966 in response to the Sunset Strip curfew riots in Los Angeles. It became an anthem for generational conflict, civil unrest, and later anti-war movements.

"The lyrics are still so relevant."

The best reason for emergency health care for all is:

If a person is sick and doesn't go see a doctor on Monday, they'll infect 2 people by Tuesday. Then you have 3 people that need care.. unless they don't all come on by Tuesday, then you'll have 9 by Wednesday. 81 Thursday. 6561 Friday.

This is not a border crossing.
There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

The ##NoKings2 protest is reported to be shaping up to be the biggest in American history, and people around the world will be out there.
They are nervous and worried. That's why they're lying and gaslighting. Ignore the noise.

So now the Administration are saying that the mass firing of CDC scientists, including many responsible for preventing outbreaks, was an “error” and many will be brought back.

Whether by intention or incompetence, dismantling public health will kill people.

@repstansbury.bsky.social: "This is gangster activity. The president is trying to shield pedophiles by calling and threatening members of Congress. We need more members of Congress, whether it's the Epstein files, the shutdown, health care, democracy, the rule of law, to just fucking do their jobs."

It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters.

And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!
