If you aren’t Antifa, you are anti-freedom… Antifa = anti-fascism = pro-democracy = pro-power to the people = FREEDOM!

We’re all ANTIFA, Donald; at least, all decent, patriotic Americans are.

And no, this is not a declaration of our membership in some non-existent group that you’ve declared a phony war on, but a collective statement of intent...

Holy shit! In Chicago last night, thousands of residents took to the street to protest fascist authoritarian Trump, the National Guard, and Nazi ICE Gestapo's attempted coup of their city. 🙌💪👏✊️👇

Anti-woke = pro-discrimination; anti-woke = pro- White Supremacy; anti-fascism = power to the people; anti-fascism = freedom

David Roberts @volts.wtf · 2h

It really can't be said enough: the goal of the "anti-woke" movement was always to destroy social norms against bigotry. And it worked. And there's a whole lot of purportedly "left" thinkers & commentators who helped it -- indeed, it couldn't have been done without them.

They should feel bad.

Good fucking morning to everyone except the ICE agents who shot a Chicago priest in the head with a pepper ball from a rooftop yesterday. Real law enforcement officers don’t have to wear a mask to do their job. You’re cowards.

Donald Trump boasts in a meeting where he endorses fascism that he has taken the freedom of speech away.

C-SPAN CALLER: What is your plan to fix Obamacare?

MIKE JOHNSON: Great question. There's a lot of improvement that's needed. Obamacare did not do what was promised. We gotta fix that. In the big beautiful bill we reformed Medicaid.

This is a military wife calling out Mike Johnson on C-SPAN this morning
Yesterday Johnson had the temerity to announce publicly that he will NOT call the House back to pass emergency pay for our troops
Can't imagine why he thought taking callers on C-SPAN would go well for him..

Republican C-SPAN caller to Mike Johnson: "As a Republican, I'm very disappointed in my party,and I'm very disappointed in you, because you have the power to call the House back. You refuse to do that just for a show."

I agree… but he should have stuck to his original commitment to be a one-term president… to beat the MAGA tyrant in 2020, get us through the pandemic while growing the economy, and then turn the leadership over to the next generation for the 2024 election

This isn’t about saving lives for Trump, it’s about building a justification for an illegal third term.

I have a friend who owns a restaurant. He says tourism and travel to DC in recent months has devastated many restaurants in DC. So, yes, Trump is lying. Again.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 15h

Trump: "You can go and eat at the restaurants. The restaurants are booming. They were closing one after another and now they're booming, they're opening. Nobody has ever seen a transformation like they have in Washington DC. It's as hot as it can get."

Every word he says here is a lie. Every single word. But way too many people don’t care that he lies as he breathes. That’s a really bad thing that people don’t care. A people who do not care about being lied to like this deserve the tyranny they live under.

Country fans are upset with Zach Bryan after he criticized ICE in a song.

But don't let it be known that Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Johnny Cash all despised fascism and leaned heavily to the left.

Let's face it, President Joe Biden wasn't SALACIOUS enough, NEITHER was VP Kamala Harris, so the Media decided that another term of President Trump would boost their ratings and rake in the dough. It DID & we're SUFFERING for it. Our country is SUFFERING so MUCH!💔

The alignment of far right politicians with billionaire tech bros is at play.
The op ed is an illustration of why so many subscribers left the WashPo and so many journalists left the newspaper in disgust and dismay over what happened to a revered paper.

Anna Bower @annabower.bsky.social · 14h

You’ve gotta be kidding me.

This WaPo editorial presents a misleading revisionist history of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s criminal cases against Trump.

Then it has the gall to compare that to Trump’s overt targeting of his perceived enemies.

Really embarrassing stuff.

But the mere fact that a legal tool might be available does not mean it should be used. The
current rage over Grassley's revelation shows why. Smith showed little restraint in his pursuit of a former president. He charged Trump for official acts he took as president. He sought a gag order to limit Trump's ability to criticize the prosecution. He tried to accelerate the case to try a leading presidential candidate before the 2024 election.
