Trump & Kennedy, instead of attacking diseases are attacking the scientists who keep us safe, exactly what anyone who watched Trump’s performance during Covid, is familiar with Kennedy’s anti-science views, or read Project 2025 could have anticipated. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/29/h...
As Carl Schmitt explained in his fascist handbook, a crisis must be created where none exists in order to collapse democratic institutions and hasten the transition towards totalitarian dictatorship
It’s DEFINITELY the plan and they DEFINITELY work for our enemies
In a two week period: Trump fired 7 of the 8 members who do independent federal oversight on nuclear waste. Peter Thiel (Palantir) is found to be backing the first privately developed uranium enrichment facility in the US.
I truly can’t believe he’s a Republican. So shocking.
NEW figures show that 61,226 people are currently in ICE detention — the highest number ever in US history. According to ICE data, 70% of these people have no criminal conviction.
This crime at Social Security might amount to the biggest data theft in human history. Committed by a government against its own citizens. I don’t think anyone has begun to grasp the sheer scale of corruption and institutional destruction that has occurred in the last few months. Era-defining.
Maybe also add how many are right wing men.
Conservative rhetoric targeting the trans community after the Annunciation shooting doesn’t square up with the statistics. Data gathered by the Violence Prevention Project shows 98% of mass shooters are men.
Keep telling truth. Continue headlines that call out the lies. Anything less is total complicity.
Remember this when you decide whether to keep Republicans in your life. They are ignorant trash who would vote for a fascist dictatorship if it meant they got to watch everyone they hate and fear get rounded up like animals without due process.
Is there even one legacy media willing to call this what it is? The answer is no. Not a single one.
That’s a bold assumption you make, to believe we’re having legitimate elections in 14 months. The damage they’ve done in seven months pretty much demonstrates that there will be nothing left of democracy by then.
The Trump administration is reportedly continuing its attack on immigrant minors by preparing to send 600 unaccompanied children to Guatemala, in violation of legal safeguards. Vulnerable children deserve protection — not to be disappeared to places they fled, alone and without due process.
We can't even play basketball 🏀 🤬
read trump's new executive order on domestic military dplymt + vigilante "portal." one of the reasons i am happy to be an independent journalist is so I can say that this is crazy, fascist, brownshirts shit without getting pulled into a meeting with PR for "opening us up to criticism from the right"
children in minneapolis shot while praying, children in DC passing armed military when they take the metro to school, this country is so sick
remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature
imagine being so maniacally racist that you side with the fire over the firefighter
I love how someone called the new White House gold aesthetic as "Saddamcore".
In June, officials at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) moved a live copy of the Social Security Administration’s Numerical Identification System (NUMIDENT) into a cloud environment “without any independent security or oversight mechanisms in place,”
Preeetttty sure that ship has sailed
All honorable military leaders were purged.
Every Republican senator voted to confirm RFK Jr. as health secretary except for Mitch McConnell, who is retiring and thus was under no re-election pressure. The entire Republican Party has embraced anti-vax policies. It is pro-polio, pro-measles, pro-Covid. It's a death cult.
NEWS: CVS, the largest pharmacy chain in the country, is currently not offering Covid vaccines in 16 states and DC — even to people who meet the new FDA criteria — because the CDC hasn't signed off and isn't expected to do so (if it does so) for at least three weeks.
Meanwhile, Trump is pushing for more private-sector usage of AI and fast tracking permits for more data centers after Big Tech companies donated huge amounts to his inauguration. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/14/b...
I often talk about the fact that MAGA does not access the same news as the left wing. I present to you Exhibit A. Dr. Daskalakis’ resignation letter excoriated RFK Jr. and shared that RFK Jr. was lying to the public, manipulating data, and ordering unethical actions. This what Fox News served.
It’s worse. It’s an intentional plan to kill Americans enacted by enemy agents, aka the entire Republican Party. This became clear during COVID. There simply is no other logical explanation. They do the bidding of our enemies; Trump regime is an organized crime syndicate working for Putin.
Every one of them is a coward and a traitor. Some of them are too stupid to even know it, but many do. They are Compromised for certain. But the fact is that the party likes to run truly empty, compliant people who aren’t very bright and don’t have any ethics. Voters are too dumb to know better.
He works for our enemies. The Cold War didn’t end.
We're urging OMB to block the implementation of Grok across the federal government. Just last month Elon Musk's Grok was spewing hate speech. Now the government is preparing to use it. We do not need this unsafe, biased AI influencing decision.
Current and former DOJ lawyers say Leo Terrell, Trump’s pick to lead an antisemitism task force, has voiced open disdain for what he calls “lawyer talk,” berating staff who try to follow proper procedures for investigating civil rights complaints.
Not “which she believed” contradicted scientific evidence. Which CONTRADICTED SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE. You are not doing journalism. You are merely stenographers for the regime. You have the capacity and responsibility to research the facts here and you are not doing your jobs.
New Quinnipiac Poll — 50% of voters say Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Includes *77%* of Democrats, 51% of Independents, and 20% of Republicans. 60% of voters oppose sending more military aid to Israel. Includes 75% of Democrats, 66% of Independents, and 37% of Republicans.
Republicans after a mass shooting: “IT’S NOT GUNS!! IT’S MENTAL HEALTH!!” Me: “Okay, lemme see your policy proposals for broadening access to mental health care.” Republicans: “Lol no.”
This from Riley Gaines is why trans people freak out when Democrats try to carve out some compromise over sports. The politicians and activists attacking trans people are not interested in compromise! They're interested in our eradication from public life and are exploiting sports to that end
What does it say about a society that continually allows children to be shot and killed or injured without any meaningful laws to stop it? We also see pedophiles being protected? Why bring children into this world? To be raped, abused, injured, killed or starved? Who are we?
The work is educating cops on civil rights. They tend to not have much education. We don’t require it of them.
Trump has a weird penchant for lying about conversations he had with others... the problem is that he doesn't seem to appreciate that contemporaneous recordings of their discussions exist. This failing is consistent with a finding of dementia senilis. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...
Few charts show our current American weakness like this one. The minute Trump came into office, Putin knew he had the green light to do whatever he wanted and kill as many innocent civilians as he wanted.
On Inauguration Day, I listed 12 tripwires of tyranny that would indicate we were in a MAGA dictatorship. Things like “Investigators being investigated” and “A powerless Congress.” We’ve hit 5 of those tripwires and are close on 5 others. Check out the list in my free Stop the Presses newsletter.
As a new school year starts, Trump is terrifying the children of the District, thousands of whom rely on public transit to get to school and will now be greeted by a coterie of federal agents and armed soldiers who know nothing of their lives or their communities
Whether we like somebody or not, they are owed due process of law. Whether we like them or not, we can't stay quiet while Donald steamrolls the rule of law. I keep wondering, who'll be next? Dystopian times ahead.
It’s an occupation. But American media won’t ever ever ever call things what they are.
You’re putting way too much faith in cops here… most are fascists to their cores
It is the taxpayers’ money, not Dictator Trump’s money to be used to threaten people who say things he doesn’t like.
The president plans to invade Chicago this week. Now to schedule the vet appointment and get the kids’ backpacks ready for school!
Too many words they don’t know
He is not fit for this job at this moment. Not at all.
The US Administration is now deleting its internal communications, in brazen violation of the Federal Records Act, in order to conceal its other illegal acts. Those entrusted to enforce our Congress’s laws sit, simply watching this happen, flaccid and impotent.
The basis is to start a civil war. Same basis for doing this in DC and California and everywhere else.
Trump's plan for military dictatorship involves deploying national guard units drawn from fiercely loyal Red states in the major cities of the Democratic heartland. This is laid out in detail in all the major UK newspapers this weekend—and goes unreported in US newspapers.
Military ain’t doing shit. The military, cops, and ICE are all SS/Gestapo now. They do not defend us, the rule of law, or the constitution. They only exist to protect fascism, billionaires, and pedophiles now. It has to be the people.
Move to a different country
Everything you need to know about Republicans voters
A plurality of Americans continue to believe that Israel is consciously perpetrating genocide in Gaza.
Safe to assume at this point they’re keeping lists of those who oppose the regime. I haven’t felt safe contacting members of congress in a long time. Democracy is over here.
It would be in a country with a functional congress and a way to hold the powerful accountable. We are not that country and likely won’t ever be. The promise of what the country could have been is over. Americans were too racist and ignorant to protect their democracy.
There’s no justice and no constitution and no rule of law. This is what ignorant Americans chose when they voted for it or sat on their ignorant, intellectually lazy, “both sides are the same” asses. Americans are the problem. They invited fascism in right through the front door.
Donald Trump is on an ethnic cleansing mission using all the levers of government to rid the US of non-white residents under the thinnest veil of “immigration reform” to secure the “Homeland” In allowing this, Republicans are complicit in crimes against humanity. This is fascism…
Yup. They defend fascism, not our constitution or us. It’s been obvious for months.
The Coast Guard works for ICE now. Coast Guard planes previously used for search and rescue have done hundreds of secret ICE flights in recent weeks, including two I watched from a public parking lot near BWI. My exclusive for Rolling Stone: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
Newsom’s Twitter troll is genius because pleading and crying in front of an authoritarian does nothing, but pointing and laughing enrages the authoritarian.
Racism has been a horrific part of this country for a long time. We can’t afford to look away from the hard things… or we will be doomed to repeat these atrocities. These records on Emmett Till are an example. We must be better. We must actively fight racism. #Antiracist
Fat chance. All Republican elected officials are 100% on board with fascism. They’re scum. Every single one of them. They would rather protect pedophiles than democracy.
We didn’t need a study to grasp this
Extraordinary new detail about the FBI purge. *Senior officials were asked to fire lower level officials tagged by online right wingers as being anti-Trump. *When they asked for a reason - required by law - they were not given any. They refused. Then they were fired. www.cbsnews.com/news/politic...
They only have to be on iota less dense than the absolute fucking morons who vote for them
Here’s what appears to be a little girl shackled at the wrists and ankles boarding an ICE flight on Avelo Airlines yesterday. Seattle (Boeing Field) to Mesa, AZ, an ICE detention hub. Not one of those men helped her up the stairs. Courtesy @lalabote.bsky.social
There’s another: EVERY accusation is a confession. Always.
Just look at the FBI’s raid on John Bolton’s house right after he criticized Trump over Russia. Cough cough Krasnov.
By continuing to provide weapons to Israel — and bolstering the profits of America's military contractors — the U.S. is complicit in the genocide unfolding in Gaza. There is no moral justification in wreaking vengeance on innocent women, men, and children. www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...
He needs to be secreted out of this country right fucking now. Go somewhere where people still have rights. Get to safety. He will never ever be safe here.
Russia bombed an American business last night. So what now are we basically owned by Russia? Trump doesn’t care, and clearly neither does Congress.
This is horrifying. Also, you should read it.
Gosh, it’s not like they had any clues that he was a virulent racist over the past ten years, right?
And the textbook industry caters to them because they’re a huge market - which means kids in other states get the same whitewashed dishonest textbooks.
Otherwise known as communism.
Generally white women ALWAYS protect their own comfort over all else. Very very rare to see otherwise.
Absolutely incredible video of a woman standing up to ICE. This is resistance 1/2
Americans don’t have the guts.
General strike, and occupy all Republican elected officials’ offices until they decide to uphold the constitution and the rule of law.
This country has a Nazi problem. When this large percentage of the population is openly supporting a fascist, white supremacist, terrorist party, and another 1/3 doesn’t even think it’s important enough to vote, AMERICANS ARE THE PROBLEM
You do understand that the US is also criminal, right? The country is literally being run by a fascist, terrorist, criminal enterprise. The Republican Party is a criminal organization.
There is apparently nothing the rest of us are willing to do to stop this. We just watch and let it happen.
Trump threatens action against the criminal justice system and the state of Colorado to extort the release of a woman convicted of voter fraud for his benefit. This man is a crook down to his bones.
Their voters like it. They’re just that stupid.
And his asshole tastes So FUCKING GOOD
It’s a loyalty test also
Of course the Pentagon is supporting it. It was obvious about six weeks in that the US military is only ever concerned with protecting fascism. The constitution and the people are obstacles to be destroyed.
Not when their number one agenda is to protect criminals.
It could be. Americans don’t fight back. They let them do it all.
They love “em some Nazis. Their false notions of white supremacy are all they have.
Republicans often complain that Americans no longer have a shared belief system. Yet when I grew up, everyone knew: Slavery=Bad Nazis=Bad Hey MAGA, what’s your fucking belief system?
NEW: House Republicans have introduced the PROVE Act — a bill that would strip millions of U.S. citizens abroad of their voting rights. If voters can’t prove they have a “current residence” in the U.S., they are forced to fill an effectively meaningless D.C. ballot. From: @yuniorarivas.bsky.social
There will not be legit midterms.
Any day now they’ll get the civil war they are trying to stoke. And it appears that the US military has landed firmly on the side of fascism. What a shit country.
We are part of Russia now, duh. Our president answers to Putin. Nothing will be done.
