1/9 Adolf Hitler consolidated his power in Germany through a series of events, including:

Why Being Easily Upset Is Not a Virtue—and Why Democrats Can’t Afford It Anymore There is an idea floating around American politics that deserves to be challenged. Not because it’s unpopular. Because it’s wrong. The idea is this:

To what degree does Trump bear responsibility for letting Witkoff speak for him and the United States? We certainly won’t “Good Tsar, Bad Boyars” this: whether incompetent, corrupt or compromised, Witkoff has not been fired yet. 19/20 bsky.app/profile/vatn...

I asked Alex what's top-of-mind these days—this is what he said (& we talk about everything, not just politics:🧵 "If you're standing in America right now, I need you to understand something clearly: This isn't theoretical. This isn't "someday". You're in it. The slow coup is already underway.

Why isn't a top story that the Justice Dept had a deadline yesterday to turn over Epstein materials subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee, and they failed to do so?

Blue states need to deploy their National Guard to defend their people against the National Guard from other states 🤔

Let’s all take a moment to reflect: Governors of the poorest and coincidentally Blackest states in the so-called union are sending their allocated National Guard troops to occupy one of the Blackest cities in the nation.

Here's a thought- How about BLUE states each send some of their National Guard to Washington DC with explicit instructions to keep their eye on the RED states' National Guard, making sure they don't break any laws? All's fair! 💯

Blue state Governors should mobilize their National Guard units to seize the Epstein list.

Perhaps it’s time for blue states to send in troops to “help” with the real crime wave overtaking our nation’s capitol

I don't know if the LA fire department is properly funded or not but the claim that the city cut its budget last year — which is circulating widely on the right — is false. As Politico notes, the budget actually INCREASED by $50 million. A portion of the funding was approved in a separate bill.

Shortly after Citizens United, Jimmy Carter issued a stark warning about the role of Big Money in politics. May we remember the truths that he told us — and act to remedy them. bit.ly/4j6N1cC

You will read countless times today that the LA mayor cut the LA Fire Department's budget by $23 million. That is a lie. The budget was actually *increased* by $50 million.

The armed insurrection on January 6, 2021 was an inside job. — We should neither forget nor forgive that.

Why are we ignoring the Fourteenth Amendment-Section 3? #NeverForgetJanuary6th

Congress must not certify this election. Trump did not win. He cheated with help from Putin and Musk. Trump is disqualified from serving. He instigated an insurrection against our country. Please call your representatives in Congress.

We don’t forget. This is what January 6th is:

Just wait Because you KNOW on January 21 the narrative will suddenly change So part of our job over the next 4 years will be to tell people the truth Wages rising? Thanks Joe! That new manufacturing plant? Great Infrastructure law, Joe! Unemployment at 4%? Way to go, Joe! THIS IS HOW WE FIGHT

Your job is to follow the constitution and the Electoral Count Reform Act of 2022 and object to electoral votes cast for candidates who are ineligible under section 3 of the 14th amendment.

These Republican assholes are gearing up to dump all over the police officers that protected their asses on 1/6 by trying to tell America we didn’t see what happened with our own eyes four years ago.

Does anyone have a contact for Ann ? Would love to discuss with her the possibility of partnering with her to publish her cartoons exclusively on @bluesky

FACT:

Craig Sicknick, brother of Brian Sicknick who died a day after defending the US capitol on January 6, 2021, said: "I came here today to urge Congress to do its job and block Mr Trump from taking office just a few short weeks from now." #USProtests #3E #14thNow

Borrowed from another friend/resister/ Blue Sky fighter!

The fact that it wasn’t will forever be America’s shame.

What I’ve been tryin’ to say.

This is how it is happening.

No shit!

As Jake Sherman reports Speaker Johnson is telling his caucus Stephen Miller is “the leader of this team”, this one is worth remembering 👇🏽 www.politico.com/magazine/sto...

#CaseInPointSpeakerMikeJohnson

Matthew Livelsberger, the man killed in the Cybertruck explosion, turned out to be an abusive incel that had 2 political manifestos in which he called for a violent, militia-backed "culling" of "Dems" and "national rebirth" of "masculinity" under the leadership of Trump, Musk and Kennedy Jr.

Republicans are brainwashed to think Biden controls prices rather than corporations.

“We have so many beautiful examples of people all around the world protesting Russian interference, like in Georgia recently, in their country’s election. They understand what the consequences are; we’re at risk of finding out what’s coming for us.” #USProtests #3E #14thNow

Not sure if you saw FULL video, pls repost this one. m.youtube.com/watch?v=qmzG...

The whole H1-B kerfuffle "comes as a reminder that MAGA is only a stable political coalition when it’s out of power. The thing that unites all these people is a seething contempt for whoever’s in charge when they’re not."

Liz Cheney demolished Donald Trump.
