George Takei @georgetakei.bsky.social · 5h

Trump recently signed an executive order declaring antifa a domestic "terrorist organization." The declaration may be absurd, but Trump's endgame is clear: to allow the government to label everyday citizens as terrorist threats in order to suppress protests and silence opposition.

No @tedcruz, there isn’t. There isn’t any “evidence that George Soros is funding the #NoKings rallies.” Quit lying. And these rallies will be the largest peacetime protest in American history. Come on out on Saturday Ted. You agree we must never have kings in America, don’t you?

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos."

I don't want children growing up in this country thinking racism is normal; misogyny is normal; hatred of 'others' is normal.

This country fought in WWII against fascism and now our government is turning into a fascist government.
