The raid at the Bryan County Hyundai plant is a prime example of Trump’s authoritarian playbook: weaponizing the power of government to terrorize working families, ripping communities apart, and creating a climate of fear.

In a hidden video, Trump's DOJ Deputy Chief brags the FBl is redacting Republican names and only leaving Democrats in the Epstein files; he also ADMITS Ghislaine Maxwell was transferred to "keep her mouth shut." THIS IS CRIMINAL.
I agree that he eventually wants to declare Martial Law. It surely seems like he is setting us up for it. All you have mentioned should be done. I also feel that a general strike is necessary and should happen SOON!
Pritzker on Trump sending troops into cities: "He has other aims other than fighting crime... he would like to stop the elections in 2026 or frankly take control of those elections. He'll just claim there's some problem with an election and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control."

Nicolle is simply the best. Love her.
The game many politicians are playing right now is class warfare. One man has more wealth than half the country. The statistics are not good, yet they still try to squeeze every last dollar from the increasingly growing lower class and middle class. They're letting Trump grift 3 billion dollars.
Another Nazi Republican gets called out...and he will continue to sell out his constituents...
This man is doing the lords work!

The Pentagon is reportedly planning to mobilize thousands of National Guard forces and deploy them in Chicago for the purpose of crime control. Trump is on even thinner legal ice with this plan than he is in Los Angeles and D.C. 1/12 www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
Yeah, Trump walking anywhere for more than half-a-block would be a pipe dream. What treacherous, nasty old guy.

Rather than reveal the real evidence in the Epstein Files, the Trump administration manufactured "evidence" with the staged/edited Blanche/Maxwell theater. The release of that faux-evidence was to get us to stop thinking about the real evidence they continue to hide.

open.substack.com/pub/treason/... Just in case you thought we still had a democracy. This is full-on fascism. May this regime rot in hell.
Thank you to Nicolle Wallace for her heroic bravery in speaking truth to power. We need more journalists to step up and call out this fascist regime masquerading as an idiocracy. Kudos to Nicolle!!
OPINION: 'Which is it?': Nicolle Wallace calls out Republican hypocrisy on Epstein scandal @nicollewallace.bsky.social and panel discuss Republicans' contradictory statements about the Jeffrey Epstein scandal as the House Oversight Committee says it will get documents from the DOJ on Friday.
OPINION: 'The bottom has fallen out': Trump's approval rating falls on issues that got him elected @nicollewallace.bsky.social and panel discuss Donald Trump's falling approval ratings on all of the issues he campaigned on - and the pushback Republicans continue to get in townhalls.

www.npr.org/2025/04/22/n... Levitsky is not a politician or pundit. He is a professor who has studied the breakdown of democratic governments. One of the books he has co-written is “How Democracies Die.” The book is very informative as well as the interview with him noted below⬇️
The only things keeping Donald out of a post-summit shame spiral are that he's incapable of feeling shame and lacks the self-awareness to know just how badly he and it looked.
That’s what makes him so dangerous. He is totally oblivious.

Question for Mike Flood: With $450 million being allocated to Alligator Alcatraz, and ICE burning through $8.4 million a day to illegally detain people—How much does it cost for fascism? How much do the tax payers have to pay for a fascist country?

Remember, they are not the Epstein files. They are the Trump-Epstein files. So get the name right in the future so everyone knows it.
Virginia Giuffre’s brother: I think we were shocked by it—especially the use of the term “stolen.” Because she’s not an object. She’s a person. Someone who was recruited at Mar-a-Lago—his property… it just kind of makes us wonder… how much he knew
Would you rather the term “autocracy?”
When ICE agents questioned a group of 11- to 14-year-olds who’d just finished batting practice, their coach, Youman Wilder, stepped in. “I’m willing to die to make sure these kids can get home,” he recounted afterward.
We are in the throes of fascism. The coach is a brave, good man. Going forward, we will all be asked to make difficult decisions. May we have the bravery and moral conviction of this brave man.

(HHS) Secretary RFK Jr. is planning to fire all the members of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) Trump’s team wants to kill the ACA’s free preventive care mandate. That means cancer screenings, STD tests, vaccines-gone. This is fascism with a scalpel. Fight back while you still can.
There really ought to be some part of the government consisting of a bunch of people who decides how much we spend on stuff and writes it all up in documents they vote on—we could call the documents, I don’t know, “laws”?
The most ultimate power we have is unity. They fear it, because when we rise together—we’re unstoppable. Change doesn’t come from silence. It comes from marching side by side, voices raised. Protest is unity in motion. Stand together. Speak louder. Defend every right before it’s gone. #unite
