For years we warned about this: The “Enabling Act of 1933”, which allowed Hitler to seize control of all branches of the German government, served as the template for “Project 2025” — and Trump’s DNA is all over it.

A new KFF study reports: 24 million Americans will see their health care premiums under the Affordable Care Act DOUBLE.

Further, 15 million people will be thrown off their health care entirely.

Unacceptable. We can’t subject millions of Americans to this unnecessary suffering.

I present to you the acting US Attorney of the Eastern District of Virginia.

In addition to overseeing the prosecution of James Comey, Lindsey Halligan will also oversee a slew of national security cases due to the fact that her district covers the Pentagon, CIA, and NSA.

Odd, how we can’t afford to give Americans healthcare, but we can afford to drop $200,000,000,000 on Argentina with a moment’s notice.

Things become clearer when you figure out that the purported autism-fixing leucovorin (it doesn't work per actual science) is available at one of the biggest herbal companies, iHerb, which is -- here it comes and I know you're not surprised -- owned by...

Dr. Oz

All of this is just lies for grift.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

In 1983, 50 companies controlled 90% of the U.S. media market. That number is now down to 5.

Havel’s insight must never be forgotten. Tim Snyder kept it alive. Asha Rangappa has reinvigorated it

Kim D @kimilatad.bsky.social · Sep 18

Vaclav Havel wrote about the importance of pointing out the law in a totalitarian society - it may not help in a situation where the government makes and enacts laws willy-nilly, but calling it out keeps the insanity of it all in the open for all to see.

in light of the kimmel news, just a reminder that a few days ago a prominent fox news host literally called for killing homeless people. right afterward, someone shot up a couple homeless encampments.

that fox news host still has his job.

Brian Kilmeade endorses euthanizing homeless people: "Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill them."

This is exactly how the Erdoğan regime built its dictatorship in Turkey. Conservative and Liberal Americans who treasure our Constitution must understand where it leads.

Filipe Campante @filipecampante.bsky.social · Sep 4

These two things might seem unrelated, but together they help distill the workings of competitive authoritarianism. When the opposition loses, it gets blamed on their having terrible leaders, but part of why they have terrible leaders is bc any rising leader is hounded by the ruling party.
