This is true, and I wish more people understood it. Calling Trump a fascist makes him feel strong and powerful. Mocking and laughing at him will drive him insane.
(More insane than he already is.)

1/2 🧵Tell an authoritarian how much you hate him, and he gets a surge of energy, and comes at you even stronger.
Publicly ridicule him...and laugh at him, it's like you wield a magical power.
Humiliation destabilizes authoritarians by stripping status...without triggering fear.

Australia just recorded zero cervical cancer cases in women under 25 for the first time since records began in 1982. The amazing result of HPV vaccination.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.
Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Just finished watching this. It was heartbreaking and cathartic at the same time. I am often shocked by where we are now, but it gives me courage knowing that people like Adam Kinzinger are fighting for the truth. @adamkinzinger.substack.com, thank you for your service to this country.
BIG NEWS: When Adam Kinzinger stood up to Trump and risked everything, director Steve Pink captured it all. Meidas Studios just released our latest documentary ‘The Last Republican’ on all major platforms. Watch the movie today!

The American people are the landlords, and the felonious tenant did NOT have permission to remodel OUR house.

And *this* is why the White House spent all week desperately--and stupidly--trying to undermine No Kings in advance. They had reason to be scared.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Mark Kelly: “lf you are undocumented in our country, you cannot get healthcare from the Affordable Care Act exchange. You are not eligible for Medicare. You are not eligible for Medicaid. They’re just making that up. They just like to blame brown people.”

Joni Ernst’s lifelong legacy for women serving in the military from her time in the Senate is Pete Hegseth.
Every woman denied promotion, denied a job specialty, sexually harassed, or forced out for bs reasons, owes it all to Ernst and the Republican Party.

Republican Jesus told Mike Johnson to cover up Jeffrey Epstein‘s raping and trafficking of children. Not the real Jesus — Republican Jesus. I’m talking about the ersatz Jesus that Republicans invented because they didn’t want to show the love, charity and honesty that the real Jesus preached.

After the dominion lawsuit, I don’t think there’s a chance in hell WSJ wasn’t prepared for this story. Trump going to war with Murdoch isn’t going to go well for him.

I think we have a great shot at taking the House in 26. The Senate will be tougher, but depending on how bad his approval rating is at the time, not impossible.

Trump and his cronies claim they support immigration as long as it’s done legally.
But today, thousands of Afghans in the U.S. lose their Temporary Protected Status. They’re here legally and would be targeted by the Taliban if they had to return home.
The cruelty is the point.

Further context: If you’ve never dealt with FEMA after a disaster I can tell you they answer within 30 seconds. No hold times. Real live wonderful people who help while you cry and can’t even figure out what questions to ask. They walk you through it all. Every call.

I want to think Sen. Bill Cassidy is losing sleep over his role in this, but I don't think his political ambition leaves any room for that.

"Democracy...is built on a foundation of relative economic prosperity and a vibrant middle class. It thrives when the economic pie is expanding such that one group’s gain does not come at the expense of other groups in society."
How Trump’s tax bill undermines democracy
It is not just an economic disaster; it is a political disaster, the kind of blow to constitutional democracy that presidents from Adams to Obama worried about.
