If anyone wonders why we call them wannabe authoritarians, here you go.

They’re now shitting on the Bill of Rights.

“Policy says reporters cannot obtain or solicit any information the Defense Department does not explicitly authorize. Any media who does not sign by 5 p.m. Tuesday has 24 hours to turn in their media credentials and clear out.”

Absolute fucking abomination.

GOOD! Alex Jones, loser extraordinaire, loses again.

It looks like every media company in American that covers the Pentagon except OAN is refusing to sign Hegseth’s ultimatum.

Trump is counting on you thinking that everyone’s on board with his politicization of the military. He’s wrong - most Americans can see right through it.

Read more here:

The Cost of Trump’s Politicization of the Military

They’ve crossed one line after another since January - and we must not become numb to the mounting damage to our military and national security.

Airports including Buffalo, Charlotte, Cleveland, LA, Phoenix, Seattle, and Portland are refusing to air Kristi Noem’s shutdown video at TSA checkpoints, citing policies that ban political messaging. Good. Stop giving oxygen to this ridiculous government-funded propaganda.

ICE Serves Only to Terrorize and Occupy Americans

It's no longer just undocumented immigrants, Muslims, Black people, & pro-Palestinian activists who are targets. As ICE violently marches across American cities, the majority must stand up & resist.

Trump’s threat to invoke the Insurrection Act isn’t new, but it’s getting louder and from all directions!

We had years of warnings.
He told us what he’d do. Project 2025 laid it out, but too many shrugged.

How much is “enough” for everyone to start getting loud with one voice before it’s too late?

There have been a lot of incompetent, greedy, corrupt, unsavory characters in Trump's orbit, but Homan is just EVIL. Miller, Vought, Bondi, Gabbard, & Thiel too.

It's not red or blue anymore.

It's democracy or dictatorship.

Trump's end goal is to transform our entire government into an oligarchy working for HIM, *not* the American people. He gets there by lying, hiring loyalists, and sowing chaos, doubt, fear, and hate. Trump is doing Putin's work FOR him.

RESIST! It's now or never.

How can Trump possibly be considered a peacemaker when he wages WAR on his own citizens and MURDERS others at sea?
