The Nazi's are mad because anti-fascism is anti-Hitler. It was used against Hitler in WWII Germany.

This was a thing that came out in the first Trump admin - I still have mine. A woman in my resistance group made them with rainbow colored beads and I'm proud to have it.

Join Us: Paper Clip Protest
Let's all start wearing paper clips.
During World War Il, people wore paper clips as a powerful symbol of resistance against the Nazis.
Norwegian teachers and students attached them to their lapels, symbolizing solidarity that connected them just like paper clips hold papers together.
Today, we wear the paper clip for the same purpose. It acts as a quiet yet strong signal to others that we are united, that we oppose the takeover of our country by a petty tyrant, and that we are standing firm against the destruction of our democracy.
Wherever you go, when you see a paper clip on someone's lapel, you'll know you have an ally.

Hi, it’s Lily Franklin, the Democrat running to flip Virginia's most competitive House district from red to blue.

All across the country, people are watching Virginia to see what happens next. And here in House District 41, the race couldn’t be closer.

Then MAGA IS also a terrorist Org and should be outlawed, especially, since Trump and Heritage Foundation is dismantling America to remake it into little Russia.

Trump’s current government, through Pam Bondi, just convinced a federal judge to force a gun rights group to hand over its membership list.

That’s a gun owner registry.

Is MAGA winning yet?

In my opinion, we need to replace a great number of Democrats on The Hill, but overall, they still care more about America and the American people than the GOP could even fathom.

So I agree, enough with the false equivalence. We are not the same.

Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social · 15h

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

Yep, a lie, but now that Trump is in and people are shooting at him and others for those horrendous policies and their mouths, I expect those guns to go real soon by Trump & GOP. Trump can't be King and have people using him for target practice. For the record, I won't be giving up mine.

Actual statements made by RFK Jr. And Trump last meeting. It was ridiculous. Watch Trump now try to claim he's smarter than doctors. That he is in fact a doctor in a way because he has a good brain. 🙄

The staggering moral trash that is the Trump GOP facist regime. When you go to the polls in the Mid terms remember it was GOP Senators, Representatives and Fox 45 that sent these gross incompetents and Trump sycophants into power.

A lot of Republican Members of Congress are in a total bubble.

Right-wing media can paint a rosy picture of our economy, sure.

But reality is gonna come crashing down on Republicans when their constituents see their premiums more than double, or even quadruple.

Trump bragged that his drug deal would cut prices by “1,000%.” For the record, that means drug companies would pay you 10× the drug’s value to take it. This isn’t policy—it’s incoherence in real time. #Trump #MAGA #Politics #USpol #Democracy
