Fascism is not looming.
It’s already here.

The fall of the Fascist Trump Regime begins on
November 5, 2025.

Join us in Washington DC. In the millions.

In the name of humanity, we refuse to accept a fascist America.

The goal of education was never about rote memorization of discrete facts and knowledge.

It was (or should have been) about developing critical thinking skills, analytical skills, social skills, persuasion, morality, ethics, wholistic thinking, etc.

These are things that AI simply cannot do.

When even MTG starts making sense, you know MAGA has gone way off the rails …

Meanwhile, the Fascist Trump Regime has diverted massive resources away from intelligence gathering and counter-terrorism operations and into immigration enforcement.

Trump is risking our national security and homeland security to pursue a racist agenda based in pure hatred and conspiracy theories.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again …

Congress could put a stop to all of this madness tomorrow.

If they only had a spine …

No Kings

As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

Where is Congress?
Where are the Courts?
Where are the former presidents?
Where are the journalists?
Where are the clergy?
Where are the retired military officers?

Where is the OUTRAGE?

The silence is DEAFENING.

50501: The People’s Movement ❌👑 @50501movement.bsky.social · 1d

The secret power of a people’s movement is that it’s random.

It’s neighbors protecting immigrants from ICE. It’s millions canceling Disney+. It’s a man throwing a sandwich. It’s inflatable frogs dancing.

Dictators struggle to fight a movement, because they can’t do what they want most—control us.

They do.
Every. Single. Day.

Shocking. Who would have ever suspected … ? 🙄🙄🙄

No one is paying anyone to show up.
But even if someone were funding it, so what?

This is moral courage.
We need more of this.
A lot more.

Not reposting the nonsense from the right about how Saturday's march is ANTI-AMERICAN! SOROS-FUNDED!

What they're saying is so nonsensical that it reeks of desperation.

They're scared of a simple display of mass opposition.

Bring your American flags, folks.
It's a pro-America, pro-democracy march
