All it takes to collapse this whole stupid scheme is for our State and local governments and institutions to say "NO" to unreasonable and illegal demands, instead of capitulating to fascism in advance.

That's it. They will inflict a limited misery on us, but they can't destroy us.

Our media is fascist - that’s how this is not major news.

Leak the Epstein files. If they refuse to swear in the respected 218th Vote Arizona Adelita Grijalva, then release the files and just leak them. Make a mistake...

When the tribunals start, the rebuttable presumption should be that *every* DHS special agent committed willful and flagrant civil rights violations, kidnapping, false arrest, and assault. As a baseline. Possession of a DHS badge is sufficient proof.

SCOTUS is all in on the fascism. Pass it on.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

It's been 22 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in. At what point will political reporters start calling this a constitutional crisis?

Los Angeles has just declared a state of emergency.

Not because of wildfires. Not because of riots. But because of an invasion by federal government troops.

We can see where this is going.

And ALWAYS REMEMBER: Trump does NOTHING on his own. The billionaires, oligarchs, tech bros, Republican Party, American media, Heritage Foundation, Federalist Society, the corporations, the Christo fascists, the right wing: they are ALL in on the destruction of our nation. ALL of them.

Donald Trump is bragging that "This will be the longest government shutdown ever."

Fuck Donald Trump. He will NEVER break the will of democracy defending Americans. Take pride in that...and make Goddamned sure you're part of making sure that remains our reality.

"Pablo" is picking oranges in Woodlake, CA. He shares, "We fill around 5 bins in a 6 hour work day. The work is very hard on the bodies as they have to go up and down a 16 foot ladder while carrying a sack of oranges that weighs 60lbs-80 lbs." #WeFeedYou
