I've noticed a lot of users are interested in joining some iteration of "resistance" to oppose fascists. Allow me to outline some first steps:
1. Cite your sources. And when someone asks you to, or when someone sources your claim for you, say thanks.
Fascists survive on mis- and dis-information.

Notice there's not a single word to identify the masked scimitar wielder and yet we all know exactly what trope it's meant to represent.
Yeah, theocracy is bad. Xenophobia is a feature of theocracy. Kind of undermines your point, Andy Marlette.

NEW: In this interview, Chuck Schumer describes the "five buckets" Dems think are key to their possibly winning a Senate majority in 2026: housing, "the high price of food [and] food monopolies playing a major role there," electricity, "the high cost of childcare," and health care.
Zero Chucks Left to Give
Chuck Schumer now sees a path back to the majority. Can he manage his way through it?

It's an open secret that multiple members of congress are planning to flee to Europe if things get really bad in the US (which of course would be entirely their fault).

Voting is the most basic accountability measure that exists for elected officials, but it's the bare minimum.
If you're not doing anything else, you are explicitly *not* "holding your representatives accountable".
You are sitting out and being politically disengaged.

Plenty only oppose his methods and aesthetics, but not his mission.
I still think people are struggling to get that the Democrats are not actually unified in opposing Trump.
In fact many of them are perfectly fine with his behavior.

There's no "allow" about it.
The words we use are important.

The reason why everyone is pissed off at the Democrats over Greenland is they are literally proposing nothing?
It's literally always the same: for ANY issue they can hold up the floor, force debate, introduce votes, push to remove Trump, etc.
And they've decided they won't do that.
