Turn the 'Trump First' slogan back on Trump First. This guide shows how simple lines can shatter the cult, expose the fascist narrative, and offer a dignified exit—no shame.

The Trump administration is REALLY allowing Qatar to build an air base in the US after they did a $5.5 billion golf resort deal with Trump and gave him a jet. MAGA can take their ‘America First’ flags and wipe their asses with them. He is Trump First, and you are suckers.

Q: How did the White House decide it was appropriate for Jared Kushner to be working on matters that involve Qatar, the UAE, Saudi Arabia -- 3 countries combined that have given him more than $2.5b LEAVITT: It's frankly despicable that you're trying to suggest that it's inappropriate

Can I make the blindingly obvious observation that now that we know Trump and his crew doctored the Epstein video we can't possibly trust that anything else they release will be all they actually have? Wouldn't you just assume documents are being *burned and shredded* right now?

Ossoff: And like I said, I mean, would you really expect Donald Trump, given his past associations with Mr. Epstein and given his past record of misconduct, to be trying to put this out there?

“My inescapable conclusion has become that Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian people,” writes Omer Bartov, a professor of Holocaust and genocide studies at Brown University. “I have been teaching classes on genocide for a quarter of a century. I can recognize one when I see one.”

I had the pleasure to chat with Thor Benson for Public Notice on how Trump and Hegseth are dangerously politicizing the military.

"The DOD held up a shipment of US weapons for Ukraine this week over what officials said were concerns about its low stockpiles. But an analysis by senior military officers found the aid package would not jeopardize the US military’s own ammunition supplies ... it was a unilateral step by Hegseth."

nbcnews.comHegseth halted weapons for Ukraine despite military analysis that the aid wouldn’t jeopardize U.S. readinessThe move blindsided the State Department, Ukraine, European allies and members of Congress, who demanded an explanation from the Pentagon.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Are we at the part yet in "America," the movie, where those hard core 2nd amendment people rise up and save the nation from an oppressive government? Or, as I've always suspected, was the real agenda to support an oppressive government?

If you hear that the United States can’t afford health care or food security to the poorest Americans, ask why. Why can we give trillions back to the rich but not put even part of that money to work solving problems? Every benefit removed, every refusal to help, is a choice. We can do better.

Dear World, I can assure you that the MAJORITY of Americans DO NOT support the Christo-fascist autocratic takeover of our government. It IS in fact “minority rule”. Thank you for any and all solidarity. I am gravely sorry for what it to come. I will fight it with all my heart and strength.

Homan's grandfather and his father were cops. He was a cop. He has a degree in criminal justice. HE KNOWS HE'S BREAKING THE LAW. The excuse that he is following orders is bullshit. An unlawful order does not authorize him to break the law. Homan is culpable and one day will be held accountable.

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive. In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him. Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.  Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.  But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.
