Many don’t realize that the first people Hitler sent to his concentration camps weren’t everyday Jewish citizens, but his political opponents. So, when Trump rants about retribution, locking up his opponents, and giving them “very long sentences,” I can’t help but take him seriously… because history teaches us that is what fascist dictators do during their “Day One” period to consolidate their power. (After all, if you’re hellbent on staying in power but aren’t likely to win the next election, you can’t have your political opponents running around free.)
To keep fascism out of our lives, vote for democracy!
Jeff Bezos has forced The Washington Post - the newspaper he owns - to not endorse in a presidential race for the first time 36 years because he’s worried Donald Trump will take away his government contracts.

Pope Francis called on the Roman Catholic Church to welcome LGBTQ people and to do more to put an end to laws that criminalize homosexuality. "We are all God's children," he said. https://t.co/I6BHVjOWua
Beyond what is morally right (thats obvious) why would anyone wake up in the morning and decide that the way they can have a positive impact on the world is to make trans kids feel less validated? (yes as a VA parent I am talking about whats happening in VA)
"Ruth Bader Ginsburg was replaced by a woman who walked through every door that Ginsburg opened for her so she can promptly use her position to shut them all for others behind her."
Amy Coney Barrett does NOT deserve Vogue.
We must be very clear eyed about the threat we face and about what is required to defeat it. I have said since January 6th that I will do whatever it takes to prevent Donald Trump from ever again getting anywhere near the Oval Office - and I mean it.
