We the People must destroy Trump's fascist dictatorship and restore our Constitution and our rights. Nothing else will do. 8647

Never before in U.S. history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next. This is dictatorship.

It’s absolutely impossible to think this is the result of good faith legal analysis, especially when they refuse to provide any reasons!

Back in April I wrote a NY Times column calculating that the "Liberation Day" tariffs would be 50 times more painful than Trump's 2018 tariffs. August 1 tariffs appear set to be even higher. Back of my envelope say that the cost will now be ≈60 times larger. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/o...

We didn’t want the US president to embarrass himself again in front of world leaders, so we thought a brief history lesson was in order. Here’s a snapshot of the country Donald Trump didn’t know was a US colony. Subscribe to zeteo.com so you never miss a video!

The Trump Administration killed people with their greed and incompetence. That's the bottom line without the bullshit. Many of these deaths in Texas were preventable.

No, wealth is what divides Americans. Wealth allows people to buy massive amounts of voting stock and control huge corporations, as well as large areas of land and natural resources that the wealthy can strangle other people with (see water rights). It can even buy private armies and spy software.

"From 2000 to 2022, U.S. electricity prices rose by an average of about 2.8 percent a year; since 2022, they have risen by 13 percent annually." And, yet, Trump's budget bill eliminates tax credits for building new clean-energy projects (primarily wind & solar). www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

I'm already seeing centrists and leftists sniping at each other but the blame for this is 100% on the Republicans. This is what they do with power and it is imperative that we work together to keep them as far from it as possible, forever.
