Proud of my ol' Kentucky Home and all the brave folks who turned out in this deep red state. ❤️✊️
Lexington KY 4/19
Lots of honk support. Only counted 1 drive-by "Make America Great Again" shout.
I wonder if that should count as support, too, since at this point, 90 days into fascism, that is really what we are trying to do.

Never forget and never forgive the oligarchs and MAGA twitter grifters who led this country into collapse.

"U.S. authorities strictly enforce entry requirements. Expect scrutiny at ports of entry, including of electronic devices. Comply and be forthcoming in all interactions with border authorities. If you are denied entry, you could be detained while awaiting deportation," the website now reads.

George HW Bush (R) got us mired in a recession. Clinton (D) got us out.

George W Bush (R) got us mired in a recession. Obama (D) got us out.

Trump (R) got us mired in a recession. Biden (D) got us out.

Trump (R) is yet again ushering us into a recession.

Starting to notice a trend?

When you’re dealing with organized groups conducting snatch-and-grabs, you need something more concrete than moral outrage bouncing off the digital walls.

Fascism is a parasite starved by knowledge, empathy, and collective action.

One voice can start the tidal wave.

Let’s make that wave roar.

It is horrifying to see history repeating itself.
We are only three months into the Trump regime.
We need to speak up. This is happening on our watch.

"What does it say that a scholar of fascism is leaving the US right now? Said Stanley: 'Part of it is you’re leaving because ultimately, it is like leaving Germany in 1932, 33, 34.'"
“You’ve got to just band together and say an attack on one university is an attack on all universities.

And maybe you lose that fight, but you’re certainly going to lose this one if you give up before you fight."

We should all be terrified to live in an America where legal residents can be detained, held at gunpoint, or deported because of the color of their skin or because the President disagrees with their views.
