Will fight the rise of fascism every step of the way! 💥
But it sure feels like we are f**ked 🌵
Of course Canada is next! Can we stop our own Russian asset, Poilievre?!

Such a proud moment as an American, watching a geriatric drug addict stand stoned & soiled, holding up another’s Nobel Peace Prize and pretending like he earned it in the very same week he attacked Minneapolis and turned his back on Iran to benefit his moronic sons crypto scams.

People are only fascists because they think fascism protects them and harms people they don't like.
Then they wake up one day and discover (too late of course) that fascism seeks to harm them too.
And then what? Those people have already surrendered their rights and now can't get them back.

This shouldn't require saying, but we highlight polls at a time like this because 1) it's heartening to see the American people rejecting fascism, which inspires more to join; and 2) because Ds are under pressure from certain quarters NOT to engage, so we need to let them know what the people want.

Because the media does not know how to frame what is happening, they keep referring to regular Minnesotans as protesters. But there is very explicit training that so many people done to learn how to be a constitutional observer. People are bearing witness to kidnappings, with phones and whistles.
by @democraticwins.bsky.social CNN just aired a devastating compilation of all the times ICE brutally attacked Americans. Remember, Donald Trump sponsored this. This is done at his command.
