Exactly. If we wait until we're all at the last line of the "First they came..." poem before speaking out, it will be too late.

The media normalizes Trump and just because it’s the early stages of fascism doesn’t mean it’s not fascism. —

With all due respect, this you? Context is in tact, 2023.

Imagine if Joe Biden -- against the wishes of the Texas and Arkansas governors -- had sent California National Guard troops for bogus reasons to Houston or Little Rock.

The GOP and Fox News would lose their minds. Yet they stick their heads in the sand and pretend what Trump is doing is normal.

Indicting political opponents & critics because they are political opponents & critics is terrifying.

It's completely inconsistent with the rule of law & democracy.

It should scare everyone - and (hopefully) will get people to realize that we all need to stand against this.

Anybody else wish Dr. Richard Kimble from THE FUGITIVE would've barged into Trump's cabinet meeting and confronted RFK Jr as he was going full Dr. Nichols?

If you rename the Department of Defense the Department of War, then bomb fishing boats in the Caribbean, and shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper bullet, you should automatically be barred from receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for the rest of your life.

He said this AT THE SAME MEETING where he bragged about his perfect cognitive exam.

Same. F**king. Meeting.

Zelensky is a f**king GENIUS! Stroke the orange narcissist's ego and he'll do anything.

If Zelensky says they will also recommend him for the Fields Medal and an MTV Video Music Award, Trump might turn over America's nuclear arsenal to Ukraine.

⚡️ Ukraine to nominate Trump for Nobel Peace Prize if he secures ceasefire with Russia.

Trump, who has boasted about ending "seven wars" since returning to office, has actively campaigned for receiving the prestigious award.

The picture of the First Presbyterian Church of Chicago pastor being pepper sprayed by a masked ICE agent reminded me of civil rights protestors in Birmingham being sprayed with high-pressure water hoses in the 60s.

It was wrong then, it's wrong now. How are we letting this happen?
