Rep. Frost: "We cannot let the fear of speaking out become normal. We cannot allow truth telling to become a crime. And we cannot let them silence us."

Rep. Jim Himes: "Look at your senator, look at your governor, look at your member of congress — if they didn't say 'Deep breath, calm down. In this country, we don't have enemies, we have people who disagree with us, and that's a strength of this country,' then fire them."

Remember: Wealth can’t be separated from power. Power begets wealth and wealth begets power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging our markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of billionaires.

In a conversation with the personal lawyer of the man with the ability to pardon her, the convicted child rapist and sex trafficker said that man with the power to pardon her did nothing wrong. Well that’s settled.

The most exhausting thing about this time is being condescended to by dipshits.

"I voted for you, and you turned us into a bunch of hateful, mean horrible people"

Lose your morals, and there’s no defense left. Republicans are suffering the consequences of what they built. Trump didn’t twist who they were—he showed it to the world. Now they have to face themselves.

Republicans Against Trumpism @rpsagainsttrump.bsky.social · Jul 26

A lifelong Republican breaks down over what Trump’s done to America:

“Mr. Trump, I’m so disappointed in you. I voted for you, and you turned us into a bunch of hateful, mean horrible people…I’ll never ever vote Republican and I’ve been voting for 80 years”

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

“When we internalize the belief that nothing can change, we stop demanding change. When we accept corruption as normal, we stop fighting it.”

Grateful for @molly.wiki’s work every day, but especially today: www.citationneeded.news/it-matters-i...

It matters. I care.

When we throw up our hands and say none of it matters, we're doing the fascists’ work for them. They don't need to hide their corruption if they can convince us it's pointless to look. They don't need...

How Orwellian is this country willing to go?? The regime is here. Big brother is watching and encroaching on every civilian liberty we have. They are trying to alter reality, do not let them control the narrative.
I don’t know…maybe we are fucked.

I’m so close to giving up. Everyone who vowed to protect us, has protected their own. There are outliers, but we are stumbling towards a future we cannot come back from.

THIS IS AUTHORITARIANISM.
THIS IS FASCISM.

We must act now, I’m begging.

It’s not too late, please.

It’s not red vs. blue—it’s the 1% vs. the rest of us. They rig the system, hoard the wealth, and keep us fighting each other so we don’t fight them. But we’re the majority. The moment we see that, they lose.

Something Orwellian is happening: the rewriting of history. In 1984, countries would “fight” and then “never had fought.” History was erased. We must resist this. Ukraine was never the aggressor. Changing history is the first step toward authoritarian control.
