There are hard questions we need to ask ourselves right now. But no matter what this administration is planning, we know who we are—we love democracy & plan to fight (peacefully) for it. In a moment where knowledge is power, here is what you need to know. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Are We the Nazis Now?

How do we meet this moment?

You gotta give ‘em hop.

A tweet from the Anonymous account says, “Make sure the dude in the frog costume in Portland knows he's an icon.” The image is a stylized poster of a frog wearing a stars-and-stripes scarf with the word “HOP” below, in the style of the Obama “HOPE” poster.

It’s so funny when they call the No Kings protesters “antifa” when they’re like 70% enraged senior citizens (complimentary)

Sean Duffy: "The No Kings protest, Maria, really frustrating. This is part of antifa, paid protesters. It begs the question who's funding it."

You can bribe the president with $2,000,000,000 but he'll apparently still do that dipshit Alpha Male move where he suddenly yanks your arm in a handshake.

Trump greets the delegate from UAE, which put $2 billion into Trump’s crypto company: “They got a lot of cash. Unlimited cash.”

MARCO RUBIO: This is probably one of the most important days for world peace in 50 years. That's not an exaggeration

TRUMP: Only 50?

Mike Johnson just defended not opening the House for another week, saying GOPers are “doing some of their best work" in their districts amid the shutdown.

Meanwhile, House Dems will all be in DC this week, holding events calling for a bipartisan solution to reopening the govt --with no GOPers here.

Did you know that the New York Times reporter who wrote the first fawning profile of Trump in 1976 also promoted the hoax about poisoned Halloween candy?
Misinformation is contagious. The media helped build the Trump myth, and we're all suffering now.
I wrote about it in my free newsletter.

The media’s kissing up to Trump started early

How lazy journalism helped us get to where we are today

No Kings Day is almost here.

The Trump regime believes that if it can overwhelm us with atrocities and threats, we'll surrender our rights without fighting for them.

But the people won’t bow down. We will rise. Join us at a peaceful protest on Saturday: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

STEPHANOPOULOS: ProPublica reported that several members of the Trump administation have similar questions about their mortgages

VANCE: ProPublica is basically a left-wing blog

S: Do you dispute the facts they reported?

VANCE: I haven't read it. I have no idea. I certainly question the source

oh one really fun idea i have is that the Supreme Court should resolve the issue before they go around making the whole country do what they say

Amy Coney Barrett defends heavy use of the shadow docket: "If we wrote a long opinion, it might give the impression that we have finally resolved the issue, and in none of these cases have we finally resolved the issue."

In Chicago, a federal government that is supposed to protect us has decided to terrorize us instead with an armed force of masked thugs.

Border Patrol is terrorizing Gage Park this morning (video from Facebook, 55th & California reportedly 9:40am). SWRR reports agents are highly active and were also seen at the Pulaski orange line again: instagram.com/p/DPtwEY7DhTy

The federal food program helping more than 1 in 4 young children access fresh produce, milk, and formula will run out of funding next week.

Over 5 million children could lose food assistance — all thanks to the Trump-Republican shutdown.

The cruelty is endless.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.
