Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

Disgusting. That's often his stock answer - I don't know, I haven't read it, you'd have to ask so and so. The whole denial of Project 2025 (his ignorance of it) was treacherous. And it all continues with those around him. Frightening times and erosion of multiple rights and freedoms.

I haven't heard of that, and I don't intend to read it.

I think he mentioned trans at least two different times (in case we missed it) - a deliberate "poke" to Carney in his messaging. That was passive-aggressive BS to his guest at the very least, speaking to his base as usual. Such poverty of the mind. So many in the U.S. must feel unsafe :(.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

Can you (she) actually answer the question you're asked?

I think "they" abolished critical thinking skills many years ago. And, "they" are more adept now at blurring reality and fantasy, with superb subterfuge. Glad you highlighted this.

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States.

America is on the brink of martial law.

Do not be silent.

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

After a federal court blocked his attempt to federalize the Oregon National Guard, Donald Trump is deploying 300 California National Guard personnel into Oregon. They are on their way there now.

We are taking this fight back to court.

Apparently, "Amazon founder Jeff Bezos once said he wanted to make Prime so compelling that consumers would feel they are “being irresponsible” if they are not members." www.ctvnews.ca/business/art...

So he's great at manipulating people. Laughing all the way to the bank (and the WH power hold).

These people pay all sorts of taxes. Billions a year, collectively. So sick of them scapegoating "the other". Are we eating the food grown by migrants (before they were harassed and chased away or detained/deported?) Do we hate our fellow human beings? Never mind…

They are chipping away at even the most basic freedoms, privacy and safety.

Disgusting what human beings have become. What we value, what we'll spend money on, and how we mess with everything we touch.
