"Authoritarianism, it's a cancer. The symptoms are here, today... We thought it couldn't happen here... and now the disease is growing, metastasizing in America. But there is a cure—it requires you. On October 18, Americans will stand up, peacefully, for what makes America, America." nokings.org

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

Calling Stephen Miller a “clown,” AOC said “Laugh at them,” because it’s “one of the best ways you can dismantle a movement of insecure men.” #momsky

2017 TRUMP: “Qatar has been a funder of terrorism at a very high level.”

2025 TRUMP: “Thank you, Qatar, for my free $400,000,000 personal jet!”

Yeah...I'm f*cking pissed. Qatar is building its own facility inside a U.S. Air Force base. What could possibly go wrong? Tonight, give you clear answers to that question. 😡👇

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

I’m down for any defection but how big of a deal is Loomer? It would be great if we had this 👇 for defections so we would know when it’s a big one (to the other side) or enough of them that there’s a real shift in the winds. Is time for Safeway brand, Popsecret, Orville Redenbacher or Newman’s Own?

Mueller, She Wrote @muellershewrote.com · 4d

A federal judge just asked the government if they're the cause of the violence in Chicago - whether this is of their own making.

Jon Seidel @jonseidel.bsky.social · 4d

Perry asks directly whether the feds started the alleged violence in Chicago.

She asks whether it matters if the inability to execute the law was "caused by the federal agents."

Hamilton: "No, your honor."

Lots of similarities between 1933 Germany and 2025 USA.

We know what happened in the 1940s. They did not.

That knowledge and another big difference could change our trajectory…if Republicans in Congress act in accord with their oath and common decency.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?
