Tyranny doesn’t happen overnight. Take it from the people who missed the first signs.

This is chilling watching how tyranny begins and seeing what Trump has tried in one week. We must fight back. We must support everyone targeted. We must not obey. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/22/o...

Just to review, in the last week the President of the United States:
- Refused to condemn the rise of Neo-Nazis in his party
- Tried to block the release of further evidence he sexually abused children
- Encouraged the execution of Congressional Democrats
Those are just factual statements.

Today, the president of the United States said that multiple US senators should be put to death for treason and articles of impeachment have not been filed yet. This country is cooked. Done. Finished.

when you tell the military to follow the Constitution and the president responds by melting down and threatening to have you killed, kinda makes you wonder whether he wants the military to follow the Constitution

Very important issue. Our country 1st passed anti-monopoly laws in 1890 when Teddy Roosevelt was the “trust-buster”. Biden tried to fight these corporations w/ Lina Khan as FTC Chair. Which is why Amazon, Google, Microsoft, etc all left Dems & now bow to Trump. We the people must Organize & fight!
Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.
Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.
The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

I guess that means Republicans will also have higher premiums for all those unvaxxed MAGAts & their kids. Of course, this is going back to insurance based on “pre-existing conditions” which meant many uninsurable folks or exorbitant premiums. But I don’t expect the OK Senator understands that. 🤦🏽♀️

Just a reminder that Trump had his attorney general preempt the Mueller Report with a self-serving “summary” and the media ran with it and it defined everything that came after.
Something to remember as we wait for a probably doctored and scrubbed “Epstein Files” report.
