@nytimes.com Epic fail! Page 23 and not even a picture spread. Way to cement your irrelevance.
Thanks for the tips and inspiration, Portland!
Comey is certainly on the right side of this, but it’s just a bit ironic that his own ill-timed communication about Hilary’s emails helped put the Orange Felon in the White House the first time.
Perfect symbolism, destroying the White House as well as the government.
Take it down like Tesla & Target. $ is the only language techno-fascists understand.
Spotify’s founder, Daniel Ek, is another techno-fascist billionaire.

He’s invested in AI that specializes in war, surveillance and violence, so it’s no surprise he’s fine with running ICE ads on Spotify.

If you haven’t already, cancel your Spotify subscriptions. Let’s make them feel like Disney+.

Fascism can not be stopped by marches alone but they are among the tools of resistance that can inspire others to resist and blunt the fear that fuels facism.
were people of color who felt their presence might increase the odds of violence, or black women tired of being ignored.
The movement is growing and the fascist regime will end. For every one of us out in the streets, there were at least 5 like-minded people who could not afford to skip work, had to care for children or elders,
Marc Benioff has earned his place in history as a craven opportunist.
A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, our healthcare, and the information we receive. Many are now currying favor with Trump to both avoid accountability and maintain their power. This is what oligarchy looks like.

Hypocrisy is totally on brand for MAGAts.
CDC Library staff were fired on Friday.

The CDC Library plays an important role in providing our public health professionals with access to the best information.
Without them, CDC employees will lose access to information and resources in an outbreak.

No problem. They also fired the folks who compile the mortality stats.
Mass action like a national strike is needed. That’s what’s worked elsewhere to overthrow repressive regimes. No politician or judge will save us. Don’t give in to fear - take action.
It’s true that sometimes the law holds back Trump and affords us some semblance of safety.

But the more we lean into the law as our shield, the more powerful it will become as a sword when Trump changes it in his favor and wields it against us.

Only mass antifascism, legal or not, can save us.

I want to believe the promise isn’t dead—just unfinished. Still being written in a hundred languages, with callused hands and stubborn hearts. Every firework a reminder, not of what we are, but of what we still might become.

Can you elaborate?
I disagree. They are the result of the Citizens United decision, voter suppression and apathy.
Most of the U.S. did not vote for it. There was widespread voter suppression, lots of people who just didn’t vote, and worst of all people who wouldn’t vote for Harris because she wasn’t perfect.
Then we need to take definitive action soon before democracy is completely dismantled and we’re in WW3.
Racism and profiting from prisons is a dangerous combination.
People understand this, but Putin’s puppet is in the White House.
