Yesterday, Trump was threatening a reporter. Today, he coerced ABC to kick Kimmel off the air. He's also suing NYT & WSJ for reporting the truth. And it's not just media: he's threatening private companies, colleges, Congress—everyone. Enough. NONE OF US should cave. We ALL need to push back.

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

The Trump regime is a white supremacist, Christian nationalist death cult attempting to ensure America never becomes a multi-racial democracy by using the entire federal government to sicken, impoverish, and imprison us, targeting Black and Brown communities first. RFK Jr. is just one part of that.

The Trump administration is pissed over CNN’s report on ICEBlock, a real-time “early warning” app that alerts users when ICE is in the area. Now DHS is threatening legal action against CNN and wants to prosecute the app’s creator. I downloaded it.

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!
A poster for the economic blackout on February 28. It is a big red Jack rabbit on an aqua blue back ground. It says economic blackout in hand done black type. There are two black speech bubbles. One says “don’t buy stuff Friday February 28th. The other says we have power. Below it says No Amazon, Walmart, target, gas food, gas. Below that it says OK small business, use cash.
