In order to stop this fascist proliferation the legal system must be able to stop this regime’s violence, Constitutional violation of rights, it must hold these mercenaries accountable for their crimes against freedom. If it can’t, then they can do whatever they want. It’s that simple.

So, the grifter extraordinaire, sexual predator, convicted felon, and liar who supports heroin-addled RFK Jr.’s dangerous, unscientific propaganda just got double vaxxed.
Show this to every MAGA fool who claims vaccines aren’t safe.

Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

Found on FB. This is exactly what I thought he was doing. Everyone stay peaceful! That’s how we strike back!

Facebook post. Text: Miles Taylor worked for Donald Trump, he worked in Trump's Department of Homeland Security, he helped write Trump's anti-terrorism plan his first term. He knows Donald Trump, he knows the people in his administration and he knows exactly what he's doing now. Trump is not ordering the military into American cities to stop violence, he's doing to create violence. He wants to provoke a reaction. It is now on us as responsible Americans to deny Trump what he wants. We must continue to resist peacefully and continue to use the power of the courts and the law to address his unlawful acts. Don't give Trump a win, don't let your anger get the best of you, stay peaceful and stay positive, we will prevail in the end.

Republicans did everything they could over the past 40 years to defund education.

Off you compared the average US HS curriculum to that of the UK, France or Germany, you’d understand why Americans are so fucking stupid.

If you really want to send Donald Trump into a RAGE, then make this idea go viral across America.
