The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

US ‘on a trajectory’ toward authoritarian rule, ex-officials warn A network of former intelligence and security officers says democratic decline is accelerating under Trump’s rule

Retired intelligence analysts confirm what the political scientists are telling us — and what the world outside is telling us — the goal of these people is the end of law, the end of democracy, and the end of a recognizable republic.

Tomorrow, we declare NoKings.org, for the love of America.

It’s time for soft secession How blue states can use their economic clout to stand up to Trump’s agenda—starting with California.

California is the fourth-largest economy in the world. @clarajeffery.bsky.social writes that it’s time the Golden State—and other blue states—used their economic clout to fight Trump’s agenda.

“The whole notion of the United States falls apart if one state can just roll over another.” Lisa Needham, Public Notice

From NYT op ed “The West Is Lost” by Prof. Andreas Reckwitz
“…if democracies learn to articulate a more ambivalent narrative — one that acknowledges loss, confronts vulnerability, redefines progress and pursues resilience — they may paradoxically renew themselves”.

From authoritarianism scholar today @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social “The stage is set for a showdown between the administration and those principled commanders who sat stoically in Quantico and listened to ideas that could destroy the morale and integrity of the institution they have served for years.”

Hegseth hails those who massacred 270 Lakota and also killed 25 of their own soldiers ‘worthy’ of Medal of Honor for what General Nelson Miles labeled a “criminal military blunder and a horrible massacre of women and children” in his official report. source: Letters From an American, HC Richardson

This story should shock and offend all Americans. It is a violation of our shared values.

It is possible to enforce our immigration laws, without ripping away people’s basic dignity and rights.

The most important story in the world right now.

Gaza is not starving, it is being starved. And the people who are starving it have names and addresses.

“It's almost strange to think about her integrity, her compassion, her generosity at a time when the news is full of stories about cruel and corrupt men and the wreckage they've strewn all around them, but she's a reminder that their opposite is also present in the world…” R.Solnit on Joanna Macy🙏💚

Republicans busy all night enriching the rich and death-dealing the poor.
“This place feels to me, today, like a crime scene…When I first got here, this chamber filled me with awe and wonderment. Today, I feel disgust.” Senator Sheldon Whitehouse
(Quoted in “Letters from an American”)

"This is the most deeply immoral piece of legislation I have ever voted on in my entire time in Congress,” Senator Chris Murphy
“I have never seen a bill that is this irresponsible, regressive, and downright cruel.” Senator Angus King
(Quoted in Heather Cox Richardson’s “Letters from an American”)

#knowyourstripes These are the ‘stripes’ of the USA. Barring dramatic and immediate change to mindset, lifestyle and values we will be the red, red & red - white & blue will not return in our life times. We created this fatally flawed western way of life. We can create something hospitable to life.

“I feel increasingly confident in saying that politics as usual feels exhausted and caught up in a death-dealing spiral that is critically unable to respond to the energetic movements of our time. New kinds of relations, dwellings, and gestures are not only possible – they are needed.” B. Akomolafe

“We can confess that we've never yet been the America we aspire to be, but reaffirm our determination to pursue a more perfect union together.
We can gather to remember that no one can become our king if we refuse to bow.”
William J. Barber II and Leah Rosenberg, Newsweek
