Flash bang grenades and children, used in the same sentence, is an obscenity.

Waking those kids in the night, zip-tying them naked, putting them in unmarked vans?

So beyond obscene I'm wordless.

We all need to be Anti-Fascist, and vote accordingly.

#WeakJournalism leads to fascism & dictatorship

Trump's political life he has been sanewashed & bothsided by the press rather than holding facts as sacred and following up scandals

Fascism cannot exist side by side with a strong, factual press. Look at Watergate and any number of other scandals

Republicans generally and Trump in particular attack Democrats every day in the crudest and often sexist or racist terms but you rarely hear anything in the press about it. Meanwhile, Hillary called some Trump supporters deplorable and they came down on her like a ton of bricks.

Trump: "Schumer is even losing to AOC plus 3. What happened to the plus 3? Are they still around? I met the president of Somalia and I said, 'I have somebody I'd like to give back to you.' He said, 'No thanks. We don't want her.'"

Calling out fascist actions is not 'violent rhetoric.'

DOING fascist actions is violent.

The inability to tell the difference is #MAGAMentalIllness

If you don't want to be called fascist stop doing fascist actions.

#MidtermConsiderations State Senator Stephen Harding is a snowflake triggered by a sign. Where was this GOP angst when House Speaker Melissa Hortman & her husband were murdered & State Sen John Hoffman & his wife wounded? Crass hypocrisy that can't tell a joke from a tragedy. #Vote w/ your eyes open

Moskowitz: We need $30 billion to extend, obviously, these healthcare subsidies, which allow Americans—Americans, not illegal—Americans, citizens, to afford healthcare.

And the president’s like, “We don’t have $30 billion, but I am going to send $40 billion to my dear friend in Argentina.”

Tom Homan and the Case of the Missing Fifty Thousand

Lawmakers and ordinary citizens have to keep asking about the bag of cash, or accept an executive branch without any accountability.
