After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

"Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or anyone,save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country.It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country."

Hope is magic! On the Prop 50 broadcast on Wednesday Martin Sheen had very inspiring words: "Fear is useless & hope is essential." I hope his words inspire you as they did me. Never forget: Hope is the antidote to fascism! So let's rage with hope. Turn the fear, frustration & fury into fire!

Van Hollen is dead on. ABC caved to a bully and handed him a feast. Appeasement doesn’t tame tyrants it fattens them up. Every time the press bows, the bully grows bolder and we all pay the price. Time to stop feeding the beast and start fighting back.

🧵 The Trump regime’s reckless elimination of ICE’s paperwork requirement is a dangerous betrayal of American legal standards. For over 15 years, ICE officers had to document targets (names, employment, status, criminal records) before any arrest, with supervisor approval.

🧵 ICE thought they could terrorize a Rochester, NY neighborhood. But the community wasn’t having it. Two roofers were trapped on a roof. Neighbors blocked the ladder—letting only water through. Word spread fast. Within minutes, 200 people rushed to Westminster Rd to confront ICE.
