I think ordinary, everyday people just have not "felt" what it means. It is abstract and not in the realm of their everyday reality. That's why the authoritarian creep is so effective and insidious. Frog in slowly boiling water.
Just an ordinary gal navigating a world seemingly at odds with my core values. Democracy matters.

One thing MAGA/Trump and their unqualified, specious sycophants forget is that most Americans haven't bought into their authoritarian schemes to overturn democracy and they forget that we're still decent people. FAFO.
Jacksonville. Its abhorrent.
Why should she? Hey Kristin... Maybe Trump should release the Epstein files. How about that.
We went from modern science to medicine wagon in 7 months.
Dispicable man. Dispicable party. The so called christian "pro life" advocates. They're reprehensible.
Our behavior is as utterly shameful as our priorities. We have to be better.
100%. Arm Ukrain to the teeth and get out of Zelenskys way.
Dont tempt me with a good time.
@marshablackburn is the biggest waste of a Senate seat. Now she has aspirations of Governor. Laughable.
The NationalGARDNERS forever now.
How humiliating for military trained person. Especially when they gutted the National Park service and took those jobs. Trump and his administration are fools.
Clown show.
Republicans are scared. That’s why they’re cheating. Vote them all out of office.
I can tell you I'm praying hard that Levitt will end up as a table dancer in hell.
‼️‼️
Yeah,Mike, but what about Louisiana crime and the Epstein files? Hmmmm?
Yeah... what he said!
This Doctor nailed it. 👌
They're trying to kill us. Where are REPUBLICANS on this? They are complicit. Responsible. Culpable.
100%
I live in Florida. You can't SMITE DeSantis hard enough.
This is painful to watch. Felon Trump has the National Guard picking up trash in D.C. Because there isn’t enough crime to keep them busy?
Is this why they need guns? Violent, criminal garbage?
Cabinet meetings have become MAGA rallies with Cabinet Secretaries lavishing praise on Trump and scrambling over each other for his favor. Its sickening.
💯
Bravo Marc and team!
Unconscionable.
Stop normalizing this! Its a 5- alarm fire.
And the clowns in the room nod in unison and go along.
Surely they must just be upstanding, real citizens with real concerns with no conflicting interests and 100% accurate information who don't want you to find out that they are upstanding, real citizens with real concerns with no conflicting interests and 100% accurate information.
Hmmm... Wonder what they are either pumping into him... or out... for medical tests.
Yes. Signed... Sane Concerned Ctizen.
Totally unhinged and demented.
Worth reminding Trump is a Putin puppet.
🤣🔊🆙 Repost please or quote. Just spread the truth 👍
Do not be distracted by Trump's effort to deflect from Epstein.
Thanks for keeping your eye on the prize.
Youre wife is a wise person. I remember when police were more "peace officers" and less "jack-booted thugs".
Once a lounge lizard... always a lounge lizard. ((Sorry, no offense to actual lizards)).
Why is a good question to start with.

John Bolton: “The historical verdict on Trump will be devastating. It’s rare to see one person being so destructive. He’s more like a vandal warlord than a constructive president. That’s what history will judge him on very severely.”
Listen to the survivors.
Whose side is Trump on? I think we know.
Hello. Earth 1 to Congress... are you there? Arm Ukraine to the teeth, sanction the snot out of Russia, let the smarter European leaders fighting for democracy take over and get Trump out of their way. The Putin fanboy in the white house is ineffective and cannot move things forward. Do. Your. Job.
Always amusing what white Christian Nationalists think the definition of Christianity is.
If there were more like this... and then stood up and spoke out... MAGA/Trumpism would wither and die on the vine. Or at least retreat back underneath the rocks it crawled out from under.
This! Yes! Why not call the thing a thing.
How crazy is it that we "accept" living in a world where the whims of one man can take precedent over normality and common good.
Bravo George!
When common sense presents itself.... partake of its fruits!
Yum.
💯
Love the shirt!
This.
Vile.
We cant be silent about DOGE just because Musk is out. End DOGE.
Governor Newsom standing up to Authoritarian MAGA overreach.
It wouldn't hurt these facist, racist, bigots to be a little WOKE.
There has to be room for Trump.
I might be an old hippie... but I know a facist, Nazi-loving bigot when I see one.
Have his ass arrested for stalking. Unbelievable.
Loved seeing more of Claire this week!
The irony of Fox and MAGA not getting the "troll" knocks me down! Holding up the mirror hurts. Lol!
No more turning cheeks! Lets go!!
Five alarm fire!!! 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
Give Jon Ossoff a lot more airtime. Love his energy.
Putin is the puppet master of the Trump administration. Sycophants.
Vile.
Thoughts and prayers.
They'll probably be back with tanks. Bastards.
Republicans believe they absolutely have the fundamental right to criminality.
Dark Gavin
I miss flame throwing Joe & Mika of old. Capitulation Joe on a leash is confusing. Sigh. Used to be my favorite. MS NOW? Whatever. Thank God for Johnathan and Willie to make it watchable most mornings. Preferring the PM line up for setting facts straight and shining light into dark corners.
Exactly!
I'm liking the shade-sass @governor.ca.gov is throwing at Trump. Dems need to see a few punches land. But he knows he's going to have to pivot to the kitchen table issues and the danger to democracy soon. And he's perfectly able to switch strides. You said it... he's a political athlete. Go Gavin!
Its breaking thru, but there are real issues out there for democrats to get their teeth into. I'm liking the sass... but @governor.ca.gov is better than that. Time to pivot to kitchen table issues facing us everyday Americans facing rising costs and fears about our democracy. Go Gavin!
Oh God! There goes the neighborhood.
Love, love, love Velshi... but glad you're back.
One can hope indeed she is!!
That's some bad-assery right there! ✅️ 🔥
In addition to not understanding how Salvery works... Does Trump know how Museums work? What a Neanderthal. My expectations bar regarding Trump is exceedingly low.
Looks like the Kremlin.
Traditional politics aren't working. Democrats are fed up waiting for action. Kudos to Governor Newsom for taking the fight to their door. Plus, added benefit of making Republicans look as ridiculous as they are. But there's nothing funny about where we are at the edge of losing our democracy.
Is this America? Where are Texas citizens standing up to this outrageous, illegal conduct.
Imagine if Texas MAGA leadership put the same effort and resources into TEXAS needs instead of Trump's will?
Trump is a fool. A Putin puppet. Arm Ukraine to the teeth. Impose onerous sanctions on Russia until they leave Ukraine. Stand with democracy. Putins only play is Trump. I hope Zelensky and the European contingency mop the floor with him. It is not OK to invade another country and steal their land.
Donald feeling threatened by all the European supporters for Ukraine showing up at his door. Weak Putin fool.
Disagree. Just don't need to justify anything to... you.
Disagree. Again.
Looks like one of the goons fell down and got a boo-boo. So enthusiastic to jump in the huddlebto inflict damage he bounced off. Karma.
Great title for the article!
I'm having a difficult time conjuring up a lot of sympathy for people who ignore facts, science, common sense and blame others for the consequences.
Disagree.
💯... @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Its time to get off the fence on Mamdani. It's go time. He's the rightful Democratic candidate... and he's going to be Mayor. Jeffries reluctance to endorse Mamdani makes him look weak and indecisive. Not exactly leadership qualities you want in the top Senate guy.
Absolutely! We should arm Ukraine to the teeth, implement the most onerous sanctions we can levy on Russia, and join the world in denouncing Putin for the reprehensible war criminal and dictator he is. But... instead... Trump had our armed forces on their hands and knees rolling out the red carpet.
Capitulation. Surly their resources are more vitally used at home.
