Giving up in advance is exactly what authoritarians want you to do.
Because they know that giving up gives them more power that they don't actually have.
They're counting on people's apathy and nihilism to help them. Doomerism is not helpful.

AOC: “I understand that VP Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, & I do not — That is a fundamental difference between VP Vance & I — I do not believe the American people should be assassinated in the street”

The Vice President of the United States stood before the press this afternoon answering questions and said that federal officers are protected by “absolute immunity.” That is not true. That is a lie. Absolute immunity does not apply to federal agents, …yet. Are you paying attention, ….yet?

I don’t think I’m here for anything.
Not in a bleak way. Not in a rebellious way.
More like noticing gravity. I exist. That’s already true.
For years I assumed this meant something was missing.
Meaning. Purpose. Direction.
Everyone else seemed to absorb those automatically. I didn’t.

The New York Times released a forensic analysis of the ICE shooting in Minneapolis. The video completely refutes the Trump administration’s BS.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said.
That is called murder when they do that.
Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.

i don’t think the intention of noting the victim’s citizenship is to imply that one life is more valuable, but rather to shake anyone out of complacency and apathy if they assumed their passport would shield them from the violence and brutality of their own government

You know, local cops do this all the time, usually to minorities.
May our newfound desire to end extrajudicial killings in the United States extend to state and local forces, too.

After the Trump/GOP/MAGA opening salvo on democracy in 2020, 100+ businesses crowed about not giving money to election deniers. Many of us knew it would be short-lived, a PR stunt. We were right.
However, there are just 10 companies remaining true to their word.

As Administration officials seem to be struggling with this, let us say it again: it is illegal to use the U.S. military to invade a foreign country without the authorization of Congress and is a violation of international law.

Their constitution does not say that Donald Trump gets to appoint a new president of Venezuela.
It says that their vice president, Delcy Rodriguez becomes president.
She has already been sworn in.
