"American fascism looks like the president using armed military units from governors loyal to his regime to seize cities run by opposition political figures and it looks like the president using federal law enforcement to target regime opponents."

Slouching into fascism

Are we already past the tipping point?

Join @somaaction.bsky.social and other groups around the country with the Signs for Solidarity campaign. @indivisible.org has spearheaded but it's up to all of us to reach out to local businesses and ask them to stand in solidarity with immigrants and to stand up for human rights.

Sometimes political scandals should dominate the news. This is one of those times. The president of the United States seems to be covering up something really really awful--something even worse than what we already know about him. And he's using every institution of government to do so.

Taking it right to Tom Kean Jr! His constituents need to ask him why he voted for the worst piece of legislation in a generation, but of course he won't come. @onenj7.bsky.social

SHAME on Tom Kean, Jr. for harming his own constituents in order to give himself and his rich family a tax cut.
