I want to hear one of the main tv stations - cbs, nbc and abc - talk about Trump in truthful terms. I want them to report on him as an authoritarian and everything he does as part of his authoritarian agenda.

The murder of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis on Saturday morning at the hands of federal agents has put wind in the sails of those trying to rein in the Trump administration at the same time it has sent the administration scrambling to regain its course.

When are people going to realize that opposition to Trump is not about Democrats versus Republicans, it has everything to do with one man, void of morals and principles, one man who exists for one man, Donald Trump. It's not that complicated.

Across America and the world, people are realizing it’s not possible to appease America’s dictator.
The only way to deal with him is to stand up to him — and the only way to stand up to him is by joining together against him.
It's time for a massive general strike across the country.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.
Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.
