@netflix.com, can you finish The Wheel of Time for us? Based on Stranger Things seems like you know how to do it. #SaveWOT

I could agree, but on the other hand I am so thankful I got to see 304, 306, 308… it was fantastic. Makes me so sad, then mad, then again sad.

If the National Governors Association chooses to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.

We should be standing as one against the idea that Donald Trump can call up the National Guard against our will.

Well done, Venezuelans for Trump. Play with fire and you will get burned, but well, so many -not just Venezuelans- thought they were Khaleesi.

SCOOP: At 9:35am on Wednesday, the first morning of the US government shutdown, employees at the Small Business Administration (SBA) received a template from human resources for their suggested “out of office” email. They were advised to blame the Democrats.

Here's a link to the entire document. Like all primary sources, it is a product of its moment and does not voice timeless or universal truths. It is, however, interesting how insightful this particular analysis of American fascism, ca. 1945, looks in hindsight. archive.org/details/Army...

In March of 1945, the US Army issued this "fact sheet" to guide conversations with soldiers on the topic of fascism, paying particular attention to the ongoing threat that domestic fascist movements posed to the US. Their analysis of what a homegrown US fascism would look like is interesting.

CRESTRICTED]
ORIENTATION
FACT SHEET
64
WAR DEPARTMENT-WASHINGTON 25, D. C. • 24 March 1945 FASCISM!
Note For This Week's Discussion:
Fascism is not the easiest thing to identify and analyze; nor, once in power, is it easy to destroy. It is important for our future and that of the world that as many of us as possible understand the causes and practices of fascism, in order to combat it. Points to stress are: (1) Fascism is more apt to come to power at a time of economic crisis;
(2) fascism inevitably leads to war; (3) it can come to any country; (4) we can best combat it by making our democracy work.

He is escalating. It started with DOGE terminating funding because of “radical DEI” or “misalignment” with “agencies' priorities.” No new funding announcements. Thanks for showcasing this issue. They truly want to get rid of any institution there to help. Any nonprofit is “radical left” to them.

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Can someone convince Jeffries and Schumer that Trump is actually a democratic socialist so they put up a real fight against him for once?

I came to the US with an H1B visa to work in a nonprofit twenty years ago. No nonprofit will ever afford that. Sad. Really sad.

This is precisely the kind of government coercion that the First Amendment was designed to prevent — and media companies need to start standing up rather than capitulating to it.
