Here's what the Republican Party is working towards. A future where the Party and Big Brother are absolutely in power.

Think globally. Act locally. Resist fascism. They are just getting started and they HAVE NO LIMITS. There's no end to how horrible they'll be to reach their goal.

"Now I will tell you the answer to my question. It is this. The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from the oligarchies of the past in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just around the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means, it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now you begin to understand me." George Orwell, "1984"

🧵 Many of you never knew of a prison riot that took place in Vietnam. It involved incarcerated U.S. soldiers, most of whom were Black.

Everytime I watch MSM, It's like watching a hostage video.

Am I the only one seeing this?

With the exception of @maddow & @Lawrence and other @MSNBC pundits, every other news outlet is afraid to call out Trump's BS.

It's hilarious that the same people who claim that their families never owned slaves and their family came here as immigrants get upset when someone posts the truth about America's racist & violent past.

Why do they agree to erase history they had nothing to do with? 🤔

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

I became a teacher in part because when I was a kid, I got bullied a lot, teachers were the only ones in the world who seemed like they cared.
Everybody needs at least one person in their lives who is there for them, and no one else. I'm lucky I can be that person for a few. youtu.be/kXYiU_JCYtU?...

He knows he's lying. He will do anything it takes for him to forward his agenda. He will lie, cheat, steal, abuse, lie more, cheat more, abuse more, and keep stealing.

Even most of his constituents know he's lying, they just want to see POC and 'libs' get beaten in the streets.

The fact he gets away with saying this shit without any serious push back from the media is very revealing of the media. Does anyone in the presidential press pool take their job seriously? Or just their employment?

Lying liars and the lying lies they propagate.

Our President is a disgrace. A pitiful, ugly, stupid, greedy, abusive disgrace.

If you voted for this, you're a piece of shit and you need to do better.

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.

And they complain MIGHTILY when they get called out! They hate it when their hypocrisy and bigotry are exposed.

"But it's for your own GOOD" they say, as they tear down democracy, violate rights, and bully and abuse people to stay in power and make themselves feel good about what they're doing.
