Trump has nearly secured his position as dictator.
He openly ignores courts and Congress.
He has a massive state propaganda network.
He has his own private army.
He has a controlled opposition party.
Intelligence and military have shown little pushback.
And he is working on elections.
Well, there's that...
things every single republican president of your lifetime has done
- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy
UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres: โMilitary action carries the risk of igniting a chain of events that no one can control in the most volatile region of the world"
rough day for anyone who believes in the sanctity of human life
I just called my reps with @5calls.org, you should too: 5calls.org
Outside in the evening. An office building with video and the words "Palantir Powers Fascism" projected at top. Below, a crowd of people with signs and candles memorializing people who have died at the hands of ICE.
Happening now in Silicon Valley: marchers have surrounded the Palantir building and are holding a prayer vigil for victims of ICE, while video of ICE and Palantir crimes is projected on the building. #AbolishICE #ICEOut #Palantir #PaloAlto
I just wrote a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social letter: Target, stop cooperating with ICE. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/targ...
nursesonja โข 7h & Threads Let us not forget, it was the same administration that reduced us to wearing trash bags as protective gear while we watched the hospital go up in flames around us during the pandemic that just murdered one of our own on the streets in broad daylight. As a nurse & as a person, I will never forgive. I will never forget. I will never back down. This was never about border control. This is about total control. O240 Q5 G34 โ 21
The nurses are pissed
This is courage. Looking a masked, government fascist dead in the eye, face to face, knowing full well that your life is on the line.
If elected officials had 1/10th of Alex Pretti's resolve, we would have far fewer troubles.
Itโs good someone can still say something like this on American airwaves.
I think Scotland should seize Trump's golf course. Give him a taste of his own medicine
we did it! a perfectly structured democracy. it's got checks, it's got balances. this thing is made to last. there's only one weakness: bad guys. if somehow some bad guys who don't care about decorum got elected they could basically just tip the whole thing over. luckily such men are unelectable
Of all the competitive authoritarian developments of the past year I think the fall of CBS News is among the most chilling. That this can happen to easily and so quickly freaks me the fuck out.
Republicans could immediately go into session. As many as needed could become independent and caucus with the democrats. That group could immediately put an end to all of this in a matter of days. This is the law, and they know it.
If they don't act now, they are willfully choosing to go along.
What freaks me out isnโt Trump.
Itโs that weโre pretending we still have a Senate.
Pretending we still have democracy.
While one man acts above the law, invading, threatening, and doing whatever he wants.
This isnโt leadership. Itโs collapse.
Not to get too political but it would be nice if everything would stop getting worse.
Donald Trump cannot be trusted to lead America into war. He is unaccountable to America. He is lawless. He only seeks conflict to cover up for his failures. Congress must step up and reassert its power. No more forever wars.

Heโs out of control. Heโs deranged. This is the opposite of what he promised America when he ran for president. He said heโd focus on *us*.
This is billionaire-controlled media. They want to sleepwalk us into another forever war. We must break free.
Among the many reasons you donโt kidnap a foreign head of state at gunpoint even if you have the capability, is that it sparks consequences you can neither control nor anticipate.
Power outage just now at 37th and Fulton Outer Richmond San Francisco

So what you're telling me is that in a couple hours this song is going to be a quarter of a century old?
I'm not okay with that
Remember: There's always strength in a union. Solidarity.
The U.S. is giving dying mall vibes.
I can't explain it, but you know I'm right.
