It’s a start. Keep making phone calls to keep partisan politics out of airport safety PSAs.

Obama: "When you see an administration suggest that ordinary street crime is an insurrection or a terrorist act, that is a genuine effort to weaken how we have understood democracy."

Hey Central #Ohio, there are at least 21 #NoKings events in local towns & villages

Most of them are midday so you could also make the OH Statehouse rally from 4:00 - 5:30 pm

LFG!

Find your event: NoKings.org/#map

The Wikipedia article on fascism now includes Trumpism. That tracks.

BREAKING: Kristi Noem just discovered the founder of Antifa by questioning their girlfriend. This is the first time the world will see who the founder really is, and it is shocking. Because of the absolute terror this imagery causes, we are sharing it in a follow-up post in this thread.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

Yes there IS more power in peace. That's why they fear us and call us terrorists now. We create terror in their souls becuz they KNOW their time is very limited and that we won't back down.

A restraining order was issued YESTERDAY by a federal judge barring detention of journalists in this district unless they refuse to reposition themselves and are given adequate time to do so, or there’s probable cause they’ve committed a crime.

Is there a better indication of how superficial and unhelpful mainstream media has become than that they are cutely musing about whether the domestic terrorist who changed "The Department of Defense" to "The Department of War" will get a Nobel Peace Prize—instead of reporting the fascism/terrorism.

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command.

The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.
