I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.
A tweet by Sarah Longwell (@SarahLongwell25
) reads: "He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. Don’t you see what’s happening here?"

Happening Now in Boise, Idaho. The pics don’t capture the size of this crowd. The diversity of this protest is stunning: grizzled old veterans and farmers, rednecks, lots of childless cat ladies, purple-haired Gen Zs, tattooed biker dudes We’re here to push the wheels of democracy back into gear.

The country is presently being run by over the hill frat boys. Periodt. Being a self-centered, insensitive bully is never a good look, but we can hope that frat boys grow out of that as they gain access to their prefrontal cortexes. These ones never did.

"The way I was taught is, if your family were immigrants to this country and came for a better life, the price you pay for that is you can never say that 'no one else is welcome.' That is what America was built on," said the Dropkick Murphys frontman Ken Casey.

Heroes are just normal, scared people who try to do the right thing when the time comes for it. I think that’s what we can ask of ourselves — just try to do the right thing with what’s right in front of us.

Dear Everyone Who Just Moved to Boise, Pro tip: I know you’re excited about planting flowers but this is what we call False Spring. Don’t do it. You gotta wait until Mother’s Day. Otherwise you can just keep watering the corpses of your frozen plants with your tears. 🌱 🌞 ❄️

I have lived in Idaho on and off for my entire life. It is a state of great natural beauty but has become a magnet for the worst elements of our society. Women, and everyone committed to holding the line against cruelty and fascism, I stand with you.

With Elon Musk’s idea to give the peasants $5k from the DOGE “savings,” we are literally watching a Collapse of the Roman Empire replay. Bread and circuses …

If Jesus came back today on his psychedelic spaceship preaching his message of love, peace, tolerance, forgiveness, compassion, generosity, empathy, kindness, inclusion, & mercy, Evangelicals would be lining up to crucify him.

I'm in a fancy new hotel. They have hooked the plug+USB in the nightstand by the bed, that I charge my phones with, to the room lights. So your phones will not charge while you are eg sleeping. I want to take whoever designed this for a long walk in the desert & explain the error of their ways.
