Even under existential threat from the idiots in power, you might regain some sanity from this brilliant article. It came to my inbox at just the right time for my psyche yesterday.

It’s always the people, the everyday you and me, just in different countries, who suffer from this illegitimate US administration’s games.

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

How a DHS shooting of a third U.S. citizen went unnoticed for months No state or federal agency disclosed that a Homeland Security Investigations agent had killed Ruben Ray Martinez until it was revealed in a public records request.

This is the FIRST I am hearing of this.

What the actual fuck?

We will look back on Biden with appreciation as we dig through the rubble of Sweet Potato Hitler 2, the revenge.

Representative Yassamin Ansari (AZ-03), the first Iranian-American Democrat elected to the U.S. Congress, released a statement on the U.S. attack on Iran, which read in excerpt, "...as a U.S. Congresswoman sworn to uphold the Constitution and protect the American people, I am deeply concerned by President Trump’s decision to launch an illegal, dangerous war without Congressional authorization. Under Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution, the power to declare war rests solely with Congress. Consistent with my previous votes, public statements, and the consensus in my district, I believe no president–Republican or Democrat–has the authority to launch military strikes of this magnitude without Congressional approval..."

I’m preaching to the choir posting here. But if we get through to 1 person that still has an iota of critical thinking it might be 1 less suckling on the FOX titty supporting lying, killing, looting, prepare-for-the-rapture shit-brained evil of the illegitimate assholes who’ve usurped our democracy.

Say brilliant geeks break crypto and the economy as we know it. $$$ creeps become instantly poor. We’d suffer, but we’re already deemed exendable by the creeps. No more stealing from us to build bunkers or fuel wet dreams about colonizing Mars. See how they do against us on an even playing field.

The Minneapolis ICE protester called CBS, accusing them of pushing ICE propaganda and burying the truth. The Trump regime has been able to bully CBS into turning over their news department to one of its allies.

To understand Donald Trump you have to understand the dynamics of domestic violence.

Abuse with abandon and take no responsibility for anything. Lie and gaslight and never admit you’re wrong. Demand loyalty and lash out when your power is questioned.

Punish and blame. Power and control.

Trump.

We're supposed to learn from history and change laws accordingly.

After Nazi Germany, and the rest of the dictators that came before, there's no excuse for allowing a repeated situation.

It insanity.

Demand change, find the off ramp from fascism.

It's being permitted.
Cyclical.

Is Donald Trump working for you?

We all know the answer is no.

They’re not just followers: They’re active participants and profiteers.

It’s about time we ascribed them agency instead of pretending they’re all hapless fools who will wake up from that man’s hypnotic spell.

$170 BILLION diverted from healthcare, food & education to build a surveillance state tracking people in homes, schools & places of worshipβ€”without oversight. That's not achievement, it's crisis manufacturing. #TrumpsStateOfDelusion

The President boasts of "no tax on tips", but this expires in 2028.
He boasts of "no tax on overtime," but it is taxed, and the break expires in 2028.
He boasts of "no tax on social security," but it is taxed, and his break expires in 2028.

He also passed tax cuts for the rich. They're permanent.

The mayor’s office is working with dozens of advocacy groups to teach constitutional observer courses β€œto train people how to engage in videotaping without interfering with ICE operations” and with local law enforcement on procedures when emergency calls about ICE sightings come in.

Trump cannot cancel the midterms. States run federal elections. He has no power over, and no role in, federal elections. Re Congress, he's just a guy watching the results just like anyone else. We, the people, hold the power. No fear. Be inspired. We vote. We organize. WE decide. #Sheshed
