The fascists use “The Big Lie”, a propaganda technique coined by Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf, 1925). Fake lawsuits like the indictments for James Comey & Letitia James are a great example. The cases can be thrown out but the masses receive their dose of Kool aid & it’s ANOTHER win for mind control.

This isn’t left vs. right. This is big vs. little. Only 2% of our elected officials from both the House and Senate come from the working class. That’s the problem.

Sooo Fox News had to pay out nearly a billion dollars for lying about the election, and we... allow them to remain in operation? To lie more? About elections?

The First Amendment was 100% NEVER meant to be used as a tool of oppression or manipulation of the masses, it was created for the opposite.

You know who takes a cognitive test? People whose family members suspect their loved one is suffering from dementia. If he kept getting “perfect” scores…they wouldn’t keep administering them. My take? He blew the first one he ever took. Now, they’re tracking the decline. I’d bet my hot coffee on it.

Why do so many powerful Republicans turn out to be pedophiles and child sex abusers? 🤨

WV resident: If the ACA's tax credits go away, I’ll simply go without. I won’t have health insurance, and I won’t go to the doctor because I can’t afford to.

That’s what this fight means—life or death for real people.

Hegseth texts war plans on Signal and includes a journalist. Trump DMs Bondi on Truth Social ordering her to prosecute Comey.

These clowns don't give a rat's arse about your or the country's safety – and even if, in some alternative universe, they did, they're too damn dumb to communicate securely.

The world will never trust us again nor should they until there is accountability for all the criminals in Government. They all need to be sent to prison after a very public trial.

They're going out of their way to hurt us.

And they're using our money to do it.

Patients rationing insulin costs the US $1.5 billion a year. $800 million would provide insulin for free to everyone.

Homelessness costs the US $100 billion+ a year. Ending homelessness would cost under $20 billion.

Doing the wrong thing is expensive.

@warnock.senate.gov: "As a man of faith, here's something that I have noticed about evil... Evil always gets a little bit too impressed with itself. It's filled up with hubris. Evil always goes too far, and because it goes too far, it contains within itself the seed of its own destruction."

She is one of the early rats to jump off the Trump sinking ship. This is a good sign.

I would love to have a selection of parties to choose from. I am in awe of the Scandinavian system. I seriously just don’t know if American citizens are capable of grasping the concept. 58% of Americans are illiterate or partially illiterate. Scandinavian counties are highly literate.

The real problem isn't just Trump... He's not the cause... Project 2025 IS the CAUSE. He is simple a "figurehead, front man. The regime that is actually running things are the problem. The Millers, Voughts, etc. The Regime WILL find the next "face", probably JD, but the "workings" WILL be the same.

There is only one way I know of for a bloodless revolution: The blue states need to secede to Canada where Democracy still exists. Our tax money will then go to strengthen a Democracy. That will starve out the now US Fascist state. It may also be the only way to help with global climate change.

The Supreme Court and Congress did give him that power though because they are anti constitution and anti American. This Treason is on them.

We are 249 years into this experiment.

Please explain to me why we are letting Stephen Miller drive the bus off a cliff. He's a monster.

He wants a LOT of dead Americans, a police state, and a dictator. And he wants a very weak, very demented dictator.

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

Laura Rodriguez, on Twitter:

A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them.

Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.
