The gov’t didn't pressure Fox to fire Tucker Carlson, but Trump's FCC threatened to yank ABC’s license if it didn’t fire Kimmel. Trump says the press is "not allowed" to criticize him & should have their licenses revoked if they do. These are blatant 1st Amendment violations. Even Carlson agrees.

Because so much misinformation is circulating about violence in the US, I want to share some evidence-based figures to help us all understand the problem better. I'll link to the research, but the reports are long. If you don't have time to read them, here are some charts that highlight key facts.

US citizens are being detained by ICE & ordered to self-deport. CBP agents in tactical gear are boarding trains & questioning all passengers. Better start carrying your birth certificate/passport. The Trump admin has 0 respect for the Constitution. Anybody could end up in a foreign prison.

This is market manipulation and insider trading—serious federal crimes—perpetrated at the expense of the American people. Our president was already a felon, and now he's an even bigger one.

Last Sat., 5.2 million Americans in 1,200+ small towns & big cities across the USA protested the GOP’s destruction of our democracy, economy & civil rights. There’s no mandate for this nonsense. We’re just getting started. See you in the streets again on April 19. www.theatlantic.com/photo/2025/0...

Why do Repubs keep saying folks protesting their unAmerican BS are paid? They can't imagine people would oppose their theft & destruction? So pathetic. F/ELON are the ones paying people to show up for them. P.S. If liberal protesters are getting paid, someone owes me a LOT of back wages.

About 1,000 people showed up last night to the AG forum in N. St. Paul. The stories filled me with rage; the determination of ordinary people filled me with hope. The message: SHOW UP for each other. Be loud. Be persistent. No one can do everything, but everyone can do something.

Democrats brought the US economy back from a Republican-led disaster & handed a strong economy to the GOP—who are, as always, destroying it. These assessments come from the famously conservative WSJ & Economist. Republicans are ruining everything for regular people so they can enrich billionaires.

Trump is erasing from military databases 1000s of images of women, LGBTQ+ folks, & people of color who served b/c these images hurt his white manbaby feelings. In protest, here's my Auntie Oliva, who served in the South Pacific in WWII, & my book The Tuskegee Airmen. apnews.com/article/dei-...

While Trump erases women leaders from federal websites, I suggest resisting this dick(tator) move by reading all you can about them. For starters, I recommend Kristin Hannah’s novel The Women, based on the experiences of 10,000 women who served in Vietnam as nurses, doctors, intelligence, etc.

The Palestinian territory Gaza has been destroyed by 15 months of war with Israel. Trump said the United States would make it "the Riviera of the Middle East."

In 1943, Bulgaria’s Jews were in corrals, soon to board trains to Treblinka. Suddenly the govt called off the deportation. Why? B/c citizens protested & didn’t let up for years. Bulgaria’s Jews lived. When our neighbors are rounded up for deportation, may we have the moral guts of the Bulgarians.

49.92% of folks who voted on 11/5 are ending the USA’s long run of democracy. They likely didn’t mean to—just didn’t care enough to learn about the GOP’s plans. They’ll suffer with the rest of us. And once they wake up, I hope they’ll fight with the rest of us too. open.substack.com/pub/thinkbig...
