"Trump’s appetite for lebensraum, his claim of unlimited power, his support for the global far right, his politicization of the justice system, his deployment of performative brutality, his ostentatious violation of rights, his creation of a national paramilitary police—all of those developments bespeak something more purposeful and sinister than run-of-the-mill greed or gangsterism."

Yes, It’s Fascism

Until recently, I thought it a term best avoided. But now, the resemblances are too many and too strong to deny.

People who cannot draw similarities between what’s happening now with what happened in 1930s, are people who refuse to learn from the history, and will repeat history.

Mamdani: "To first take a moment about Mpls. It is horrific what we have seen there. And I think that there are too many Americans who are being asked to not believe their own eyes, not believe their own ears, not believe their own realities." (This interview was conducted before Pretti killing)

Listen to Zohran.

Talarico is right. Stop them now, before they come to your city to do the same.

On Jan. 6, 2021, Rep. Mike Kelly attempted to change Michigan and Wisconsin’s votes from Biden to Trump by trying to submit fraudulent electors to Congress. This week, some (more) of those involved in drafting Kelly's fraudulent documents were charged with state felonies. https://apnews.com/article/wisconsin-fake-electors-trump-2020-charges-77d00919fc8d8e07438076610090a9b1

We've updated Kelly's page on GovTrack with the latest. https://www.govtrack.us/congress/members/mike_kelly/412465

Elections must be decided by counting votes. Every alternative meant to change the outcome is a coup.

Wisconsin AG Josh Kaul files felony charges against attorneys, aide who worked for Trump

Felony forgery charges have been filed in Wisconsin against two attorneys and an aide who helped submit paperwork falsely saying that former President Donald Trump had won the battleground state in 2020. The charges were filed Tuesday against Trump attorneys Kenneth Chesebro and Jim Troupis and former Trump aide Mike Roman. Authorities said Roman delivered Wisconsin’s fake elector paperwork to a Pennsylvania congressman’s staffer in order to get them to then-Vice President Mike Pence on Jan. 6, 2021. All three are due in court in September. Troupis and Chesebro did not return voicemail messages left Tuesday. Roman's attorney said he was reviewing the charges.
