Authoritarianism prevails not because people stop believing the truth, but because they stop saying it aloud. If we wish to remain free, we must refuse that silence. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/lies...
Lies, violence and the American state
Trump abhors democracy because it allows ordinary Americans to reject his lies. Even worse for Trump, it allows us to reject him.

We get that Republicans want to argue that “you shouldn’t” protest or film agents, or that it’s “a bad idea.” But it’s a right. That means you don’t get to decide whether someone gets to do it if that’s how they choose to protest. It also means agents can’t kill people who do.

ICE agents in Colorado have been leaving ace of spades cards behind when they detain someone, a psychological warfare technique the United States Armed Forces used against its mortal enemies during the Vietnam War.

To date, I have seen ONE Dem Rep in Congress call for ICE to be abolished. Ilhan Omar.
Not defunded. Not trained and restrained.
ABOLISHED.
Are there any others? If so, post them and let's get a count on the number of Dems in Congress.

Hundreds marched through San Francisco Saturday evening in solidarity with Minneapolis after federal agents shot and killed 37-year-old nurse Alex Pretti. It was at least the third shooting involving federal agents in the city in three weeks.

I’m a huge soccer fan. I was so excited for the World Cup—for years.
But, there is no way to host a World Cup in the midst of consolidating fascism and threatening imperialist expansion.
Canada and Mexico can pick up the extra games. The U.S. can’t be part of it.
