We need to talk about Trump’s threat to defund universities unless they arrest and expel protesters.
We’re watching classic fascistic institutional capture in real time and if this continues unabated we’re going to look up and live in a world without escape. The time to fight is now.

Republicans appear to have engaged the secret (not) police to remove dissenters from town hall meetings.

For those following the story of unidentified men violently dragging a protester from a local Idaho GOP meeting, it turns out they were from a private security firm called LEAR Asset Management. But neither the sheriff (who watched it all go down) or the GOP will take responsibility for hiring them.
UPDATE on town hall chaos: Woman who was dragged out speaks, police chief condemns security, name of security firm confirmed
A legislative town hall organized by the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee devolved into chaos Saturday when unidentified, plainclothes security personnel dragged a Post Falls woman from th...

We cannot support the state of hunting today.
Once, long ago, hunting was how people fed themselves.
today subsistence hunting has been largely replaced with thrill killing.
With only 4% of mammals being wildlife, it's time to give them a break and end the pretenses of hunting as conservation.

Propaganda is used by governments (fascist or not) to generate popular support for one end or another. US gov't. is using google as a propaganda tool; updating time stamps on old articles about past deportations to give the appearance that the gov't. is doing much more than it is on deportation.
US immigration is gaming Google to create a mirage of mass deportations
Thousands of press releases about decade-old enforcement actions topped search results, all updated with a timestamp from after Trump’s inauguration

Disenfranchisement of ***US citizens*** from their #right to #vote!!! This is just one thing the smokescreen of non-stop outrageous and foolish executive actions is meant to hide. This is one action of many that will take away your right to vote. #Fascism has arrived.
Restricting the Freedom to Vote
The SAVE Act would be one of the worst voting laws in congressional history.

This is what happens when regulators disappear. You know what else happened without regulation? The Great Depression.
When there weren't enough bank examiners on the beat, SVB and Signature Bank failed, requiring big bailouts.
The FDIC should explain why it’s now axing even more examiners whose job it is to make sure big banks don't crash our economy.

Concerned about keeping your Medicaid? If you're retired (or about to be) and use it, you should be. Make yourselves heard to your elected officials so they know removing / reducing Medicaid = no re-election for them! Use this site to find your representatives: www.congress.gov/members/find...
Republicans in Congress are saying the quiet part out loud: cuts for grandma in the nursing home to fund tax giveaways for billionaires.

Pete Hegseth admitted to the Senate that he paid $50,000 (!!!) to silence a "Jane Doe" who accused him of rape.
But at his hearing last week, he said he was “falsely accused."
More questions than answers. We can't rush his vote and trust him with our national security.

The Senate just received another report that Pete Hegseth has a pattern of alcohol abuse.
Confirming him as Secretary of Defense puts our national security at risk.
