“This is exactly the moment for people to stand up. And do I see enough people doing it? No, I don’t. It shouldn’t be that there are Democrats that are afraid, because you know what? We’re the targets. We need to be strong, we need to fight back.”

"They’re trying to trigger the very unrest that would justify further crackdowns. In the end, violence serves their ultimate end: They want to create the illusion of disorder so they can tighten control and stay in power indefinitely."

“Trump’s militaristic posturing and rhetoric is to lay the basis for sending in federal forces to scare away voters in 2026.”

Trump is against anyone to the left of fascism, which includes most Americans. They can burn the nation down, which they are attempting to do, but they are incapable of rebuilding a nation in which most Americans want to live in.

Cutting "Democrat programs" which Trump has no authority to do. Those cuts will also hurt Republican voters.

Lies and propaganda, that's all they've got. Trump hates the cities, because most of the people who live in them were smart enough not to vote for his sorry criminal ass.

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

“I expect more from the government than this kind of very shoddy work. The government’s perception of events are simply unreliable."

With the exception of SCOTUS, the judges are not the problem, the lawless, lying con-man felon president and his henchmen are.

You know what fascism looks like? Attorney General Letitia James getting criminally indicted on literal trumped-up charges by the criminal who she fought to hold accountable for the actual crimes he committed and is now using the full power of the US govt to seek vengeance.

Our country is in great danger right now. They’re taking our healthcare. Our voting rights. Our women’s rights. Our civil rights. They’re occupying our cities and debating martial law. The Epstein files have likely been wiped clean. Let’s make sure the same doesn’t happen to our constitution. #FOCUS

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