The face of fascism
In Trump’s America, if you record a protest, post a meme, or publish an article the regime doesn’t like, you can be woken up in the middle of the night and find this at your door.
If you’re not treating this like a five-alarm fire right now, it won’t stop here.
In time, they will come for you too.

Journalism is not a crime.
The Justice Department should investigate the federal agents who killed US citizens in broad daylight, not arrest reporters like Don Lemon. He should be released.
It's a spine-chilling assault on press freedom and threatens the public's right to know.

The White House has ordered the US Dept. of Justice to prioritize denaturalization: voiding the citizenship of US citizens.
Who will it denaturalize? "Any" case that it "determines to be sufficiently important".
Point 10 leaves the criteria opaque and arbitrary.

complacency with what's happening is starting to shift. Frustratingly late, but better than never. If anything, boosting awareness of this will help, but as always a large coffee's price is a big deal so pitch in!

Bad people know that one way to control people is to make them feel economically uncertain, so more of their time is spent worrying about their own precarity and less on the general welfare and/or what the bad people are doing. There's a reason the current administration is undermining the economy.
Interesting thought on the financial stability. The more stable I personally got, the more time and space I had to gather more information. The more information I had, the more accepting I got.
Hadn't really thought about that till now.
