If he can take a US citizen, he can take you.

This is what a fascist takeover looks like.

Here’s a little truth: America’s $36 trillion debt isn’t because working people have Social Security and Medicare. 

It’s because billionaires and corporations refuse to pay their fair share. Period.

Wow.

Today marks the 250th anniversary of the battles of Lexington and Concord, which began the American Revolution and our war against monarchical power. I do not advocate violence. I’m simply reminding you that this nation was founded on resistance to arbitrary authority. We built American democracy in the face of what seemed to be impossible odds. And we will never, ever give up that fight. A few groups are holding peaceful rallies across many parts of the country tomorrow to mark this anniversary, celebrate the anti-monarchical uprising of 1775, and denounce Trump’s increasingly autocratic rule. I encourage you to join these demonstrations where you live. You may be feeling helpless, powerless, and alone. But you are not. Most Americans are as disgusted by the Trump regime as you are. Trump and his regime want us to feel helpless, powerless, and alone — because that’s Trump’s way of taking over. We may not always agree with our government (hello?), but we cherish our system of government. We believe in the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the separation of powers, and checks and balances, and we believe no person should be above the law. We believe in due process. We prefer democracy to dictatorship. Our system was founded in opposition to monarchy. Trump is actively trying to move America from democracy to dictatorship. My friends, what the Trump regime has unleashed on America is intolerable. It is time — beyond time — for a national civic uprising.

Not sure who needs to hear this, but any govt official who violates someone's constitutional rights -- and is acting outside the scope of their lawful authority -- can be PERSONALLY liable in a civil suit.

ICE officers. Cabinet members. White House staffers. Even the president.

FYI: That's old! T-Rex lived around 60 million years ago, more than 100 million years later.

It's hard to imagine a million years, much less 100 million.

It’s Fossil Friday! Take a bite out of the weekend with Dilophosaurus wetherilli, a carnivorous dinosaur that lived some 194 million years ago during the Early Jurassic. This dino acquired its name, which means “double-crested reptile,” from the paired crests on its skull. They were possibly used for display. This specimen was found in 1942 at the Kayenta Formation in Tuba City, Arizona. You can see it in the Museum’s Hall of Saurischian Dinosaurs!

even when they have access to privileged information that is the equivalent of insider trading. It's an unfair advantage.

One of the greatest ongoing scandals of today is that our elected officials — Democrats included — continue to refuse to ban members of Congress and their families from trading stocks.

Unsafe foods. Welcome back to the 1920s.

Is this what you voted for?

Not an immigrant, not a drag queen, not a trans, not a liberal, not a Democrat…just another creepy conservative Republican sexual predator and murderer.

*It seems to be a prerequisite for Republican sex offenders to be photographed with Ted Cruz. Ted must be their handler or mentor.

You want to call your House rep now and tell them Trump needs to be impeached immediately for defying a Supreme Court order (re: Kilmar Abrego Garcia), which functionally voids our constitution and means no one in America has rights anymore.

I am not exaggerating.

As of now, anybody can be disappeared, no due process, no recourse. Trump is openly disregarding a Supreme Court order and says he’ll send US citizens to El Salvador.

This is not a drill.

Call your House rep and tell them they must impeach. Tell them if they cannot bring themselves to impeach, they must resign. A more open and shut case to impeach is not possible. Trump and his administration are saying openly, in public, that anybody can be kidnapped by ICE, even in error, and disappeared permanently.

Call your senators, too, and tell them to support impeachment (it goes to them once it passes a majority House vote).

[scottguy]

I'm surprised it hasn't been faster, but it's only been FOUR months.

Trump's evil has just started.

[scottguy]

It made the world safer. Russia should have been thrilled.

It also has promoted excessive greed and greedflation. Because now everyone can keep it all! Before there was not much point in overcharging, now there is.

We call them the good old days too.

Not taxing the rich is quickly destroying the planet. #LateStageCapitalism
