In “Autocracy in America,” Anne Applebaum speaks with Stacey Abrams about how the Trump administration could change voting rules and more to maintain power. Listen here:
Just say the government is lying. The goal of journalism should be to inform, not gaslight.
Stop what you’re doing and read this whistleblower report. ICE has been training its agents that they don’t need a judicial warrant to break down your door - a blatant violation of the 4th Amendment. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down
Boosting military spending

Slashing regulations

Market concentration → Less competition → Higher prices for consumers → Corporate profits at 70-year high → Record stock buybacks → Higher shareholder value → More power for corporations and the rich.
How do we fight back? Break up monopolies and rebuild union power.
Text card: Listen for dangerous words. Be alert to the use of the words extremism and terrorism. Be alive to the fatal notions of emergency and exception. Be angry about the treacherous use of patriotic vocabulary. #OnTyranny
One of the lessons I discuss in "On Tyranny":
Listen for dangerous words.
The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.
