I regularly see people and entire subs call for and encourage genocide. I see calls for violence daily. I suggested democrats have armed people near voting polls to discourage ICE and others from intimidating voters and I got banned for "inciting violence" We need a real reddit alternative.

Michelle Obama: Kids should have nutritious meals. The pro-life party: This is an outrage! RFK Jr: Kids should have measles, mumps, and polio. The pro-life party: Yes, king! Tell it like it is!

It's our duty not just to push back against Republican lies but also against the apathy and misinformation harming the left. Push back against those who discourage resistance and protests. Give them the facts and historical examples they need to wake back up. #protest #protests #resist #fdt

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

of all the many terrible things that seem to be afflicting the public, the prevalence of defeatist mindsets with zero capacity for creative problem solving (or indeed the unwillingness to even *imagine* possible solutions to problems) might be the thing which freaks me out most.

Push back against all the people who are discouraging protests and act like they don't achieve anything. Apathy is how fascism wins. Explain to people why protests matter and how they have affected you. #protest #50501protests

Did not see or hear a single MAGA person at the Indianapolis protest today. No yelling out windows or flipping people off, no counter protesters. Their morale is clearly down hard. Maybe Trump really can destroy his own cult with his own stupidity and inconsistency. #50501protest #trump

Incredible turnout in Indianapolis for the #50501Protest 🙌 Even the icy rain didn’t stop hundreds of people from coming out to protest #ICE #Musk #Trump and KKK It was absolutely amazing 🙌✌️💙 Thanks for turning up #Hoosiersky Let’s GO!

UPDATE: Trump said he and Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu talked Tuesday about relocating Palestinians and leveling Gaza, which he suggested could be the “Riviera of the Middle East” under U.S. ownership.

Do you need any more reasons to protest tomorrow after Trump's threat of ethnic cleansing of Gaza? #gaza #protest #50501

Putin is full out celebrating our idiocy.

Make an effort to shut down all the people discouraging others from protesting, calling representatives, etc. They are not our allies and we need to fight against apathy. Apathy is what fascists want. #50501 #usaid #protest

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

No one's blaming Democrats for causing this crisis, but yes, many of them are failing to meet this moment. One Democratic senator could bring the chamber to a halt. House Dems can go to fed agencies being gutted by Musk with cameras in tow. Governors can push back. State AGs can bring lawsuits.

The USA has had two major plane crashes in the last 4 days. The USA had previously not suffered a major plane crash for 16 years. ‘DEI’ programs have existed for decades. So what was it that changed in the last 14 days or so to suddenly cause so many crashes?

NTEU has sent an email regarding the follow up OPM Fork email urging people not to accept the deferred resignation. The bolded “FU” is a nice touch.

PLEASE READ ATTENTIVELY! From an employee at OPM to HR. This person used a burner account so she/he wouldn't face repercussions after sounding the alarm. Make no mistake peeps, this only happens with authoritarian regimes. FOTUS is taking over the Federal Civil Service. Thank you whoever you are.

FBI core values being painted over. How long before they are legally forced to replace it with nazi slogans and icons?

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed a memorandum directing the federal government to prepare the US Naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to house tens of thousands of migrants.

While you run purity tests on your potential allies, fascists are building their machines of oppression unopposed.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Hitler built the first "mass deportation" camps within two months of taking power. Trump just announced he's building one at Guantanamo Bay.

Jim Acosta just powerfully announced on air he is leaving CNN with the words: "It is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant." He added, "Don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to the fear. Hold on to the truth and to hope." Amen. Jim will be missed.

The president can veto or support legislation. He can make recommendations to Congress. But he doesn't have the unilateral right to change laws. Trump has very little respect for the rule of law & our Constitution. He is moving us toward authoritarianism. We must stop him.

Trump says he ordered the military to go into CA last night to “turn on the water.” CA responds.

If your government seeks to outlaw Anti-fascism, you might have a fascist government.

It's terrifying how fast mainstream media like CNN essentially became a conservative channel. They are spinning for Trump as well as fox does at this point. Wild.

If you want to be part of the "resistance", spend less time on social media and more reading books about tyranny and resistance. Social media isn't doing us any favors, it's already being used to further fragment and divide us. On Tyranny and From Dictatorship to Democracy are good starts.

Other symptoms of frontotemporal dementia (FTD): Inappropriate social behavior. Loss of empathy. Lack of judgment. Loss of inhibition. Increasing trouble using and understanding written and spoken language. Trouble naming things.

Shopping for car magnets. Do people know what FDT stands for? I like subtle but not so subtle someone assumes it's the opposite.

If you're trying to "fight fascism" by continuing to make more enemies on social media with people on your own side, you aren't fighting fascism, you're helping it.

I think there are far fewer religious people than they want us to think. If most of these people actually believed in hell like they say they'd act *very* differently.

You can't fight -isms with -isms.

I hope the price of eggs outweighs the tax hike most trump voters will receive.

Never forget that we outnumber them.

Beware the people trying to cause division among progressives, they are not on your side. Seeing a lot of people try this lately, like calling Tesla owners "nazi collaborators" despite being overwhelmingly democrats and progressives. Bullies are looking for excuses, don't mistake them for allies.

To the retrogamers: Anyone have a Miyoo Mini Plus? I have a gba sp with ever drive to play nes/gb/gba games and am wondering if it's worth it for the later era console games like ps1, but does it actually play enough of them well enough with just a dpad?

The amount of people I'm seeing say they're going to ignore all news and politics now is disheartening. This is how fascism wins.

Why has Trump been so quiet? Where is the bragging and constant interviews? Something is up. 🤔

We did it once we can do it again

Republicans keep bringing up Harris being VP as if she's been president for the past 3 years and complaining about her "record". Did they forget Trump was the actual president? He has an actual (bad) record? These people make me feel like I'm taking crazy pills, and I think that's the point.
