Fürher Donald Trump initiated this Hitlerian nightmare. Supported by his own personal Brownshirts, previously known as the Republican Party. They are now the Fourth Reich. And the GOP could end this nightmare NOW. If they gave one damn about anyone but rich, white guys. We will NEVER FORGET.

Please repeat over and over: “Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.” —Gov. JB Pritzker

Trump said that people who committed treason/post deserters should be shot when he talked about Beau Bergdol abandoning his post during the war. Wonder if he would have that same viewpoint today?

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

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?"

Every article about the volatility, uncertainty, and losses in the stock market should mention that all workers have insurance protection in case they lose some or all their savings: It's called Social Security. My latest from Bloomberg. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...
bloomberg.com
Social Security Is Protection From Volatility
The program is insurance against risk, which is suddenly very real for the millions of Americans with retirement savings in the market.
