Yes, It’s Fascism
Until recently, I thought it a term best avoided. But now, the resemblances are too many and too strong to deny.

Our country was founded on resistance to a tyrant.
Attorney General Pam Bondi: "Our country was founded on law enforcement"
Bondi: "It's extremely organized. The signs they have are all matching, they're well written. And look at what's happening today. How did these people go out & get gas masks? These protesters. Would you know how to walk out on the street and buy a gas mask? Think about that. We're not gonna have it"

i think this MLK day the thing to focus on is the strategic focus and tactical brilliance of the civil rights movement and the way it was laser focused on a set of achievable goals

On MLK Day, we’ll hear a lot of quotes from people actively dismantling his legacy, including the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act.

Out of ~60,000 Somalis in Minnesota, 85 (.01%) have been criminally indicted

Out of ~4000 people in the Trump regime, 215 (5.4%) have been criminally indicted.

Thats a ~40X higher crime rate

Not qwhite sure why the people who ignore Trump indictments want you to be upset about Somali indictments🤔

14% of MAGA now admit regretting their vote. 'ThePatrioticBlonde' was a loud fan. Now, she admits she was wrong.
Now? A grudging apology doesn't excuse her behavior. But ex-MAGA like this will be important.
Our best strategy is to allow them back. They influence others.
