We need more Americans to understand how Trump is turning American democracy into a fascist government that will create more evil and eventually destroy the USA.

Songwriter Zach Bryan releases song that speaks out against brutal Trump immigration policy tactics.

Despite government criticism from DHS Head Noem and others, Zach is set to now get even more popular.

--Just like what happened to Jimmy Kimmel.

No, Mike Johnson, House Liar, the GOP does NOT have the privilege in Congress to create a budget bill that democrats object to and then GOP members go home. Your job as elected officials is to NEGOTIATE and WORK to an agreement.

For the Trump cult to send emails to federal employees and post on government websites about a "democrat shutdown" violates The Hatch Act. It's illegal use of government resources to promote a false, partisan Republican political agenda.

In a video, Trump cultist Mike Johnson says GOP have done their job creating a bill rejected by democrats and so don't need to be in session at The Capitol to negotiate. The elected members of the GOP have no such privilege.

Zach Bryan is a Warner Music Group recording artist with a multi-million dollar contract, and the Trump cult is telling him to get in lockstep with the mainstream fascist narrative.

It will backfire.

Waiting on the edge of my chair for Kristi Noem and the rest of the Trump cult to start talking about Zach Bryan "weaponizing song."

Peter Flaire @peterflaire.bsky.social · 3h

DHS Director Noem slams Zach Bryan for a song, and Chicago slams Noem and the feds for brutal suppression of 1st Amendment Rights.

Just wondering what's actually more important here...
