- You can't really argue with Tribe. Yes, anything is possible. But it doesn't reflect the trajectory America is on. We are descending very quickly into fascism, at light speed. If we don't start fighting for democracy like now, in the streets, we will be too late.
- “The costs of opposition are surmountable. And importantly, the descent into authoritarianism is reversible. Pro-democracy forces have successfully resisted or reversed backsliding in recent years in Brazil, Poland, Slovakia, South Korea and elsewhere.” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/08/o...
- The world is careening toward war and chaos thanks to Putin and his stooge Trump. This duo of war mongers isn't deterred by laws, treaties or diplomacy. America must do its part by rising up. Now.
- Very important point. The other major news outlets in America understand clearly this is a threat from the government. Either report what we want or we will come after you. It is to silence free speech and opposing opinions. This is authoritarianism.
- First amendment under attack. CBS may be canceled. youtu.be/zKaau_ijH_A?...
- On top of everything, think about the damaging psychological toll on all of us watching Trump kill democracy right in front of our eyes. It's like a daily televised execution. There has to come a point when we won't tolerate it anymore and we take the fight to them.
- Someone explain to Americans why this isn't happening.
- Oh, and they're also making billions.
- Trump accepting a $400 million jet from Qatar is a big middle finger to all of us, the constitution and the rule of law. "Look what I can do and no one can stop me. It's good to be King."
- Cotton defends Witkoff by saying he's 100% loyal to the president. Tommy Boy, that's the problem right there.
- Dems in congress, are you waiting until some of you are jailed to act? Is that what it will take to get you off your asses and into the streets with the people of America? We need leadership.
- 🇺🇸 “Rolling Stone reached out to all 53 GOP senators after the president said he didn't know whether he needs to honor the nation's founding document. None replied.” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
- Trump doesn't care what any of us think about this. We can't stop it, we can't prosecute him, we can't do a damn thing about it. The only thing we can do is rise up as a country.
