State are already encountering, wake up!

This administration is completely lawless. There are no checks to balance, there is no cavalry coming. It‘s sadly a wait and see time that no amount of protests are going to solve. The military isn’t going to suddenly side with the people and take up arms.

Remember, TACO is in the files, he wasn’t shot, he didn’t win.

This is how you cover and advocate for victims of sexual violence, with information, not condemnation or pejorative condescending questions:

Everything Trump does is an attempt to distract from the Epstein files — and from how his administration is refusing to release them.

F’ Marjorie Taylor Greene… She’s talking out of both sides of her mouth while continuing to say that she fully supports Donald Trump. The truth is that she’s up for re-election, she aspires to obtain more power and higher office, and she sees troubles ahead for MAGA and the Trump regime.

On #WorldMentalHealthDay, all governments should commit to moving away from coercive mental healthcare practices.

Human Rights Watch has documented coercive mental healthcare practices, including shackling people with mental health conditions, in more than 60 countries across the world.

Nearly all people here have no experience dealing with #fascist regimes. I have dealt with several.

From my perspective, this would be a very unlikely, but best case scenario.

These are good points.

"Mock Them" strategy.

Mocking is effective against a rising threat with absurd premises.

Unfortunately, at least in my view, we passed that point.

I have zero doubts this administration is looking forward sending every one of these protesters to a concentration camp.

There is no such thing as "civil unrest" there is only civil protests which are very very legal in this country...

It is bad that Trump wants to use American soldiers against their fellow Americans. And it is also bad that Trump wants foreign powers to exploit his unnecessarily, artificial, and pre-scripted civil war.

Trump to generals: "Last month, I signed an executive order to provide training for a quick reaction force that can help quell civil disturbances. This is gonna be a big thing for the people in this room, because it's the enemy from within & we have to handle it before it gets out of control"

If you look closely, you can see signs of GOP lawmakers fearing the long-term political consequences of paying more attention to Trump's demands than to the voices of their own constituents - or consciences.

Republicans are 💯 responsible for shielding the pedophiles they once promised to expose.

Republicans are 💯 responsible for stoking civil unrest across the country. They’ve peddled in inflammatory rhetoric for years, outlawed anti-fascism, weaponized the DOJ, ICE and the National Guard.

Republicans are 💯 responsible for the price hikes in everything. You can thank Trump tariffs.

Republicans are 💯 responsible for the economic uncertainty gripping working class Americans. They’re building an oligarchy and you’re simply an inconvenience that needs to put up and shut up.
