I remember when this happened.

“A draft dodger is holding a military parade on June 14. That is so offensive to people like me that I have no words that are not profane to say what I feel.”

While Trump wastes millions on his birthday parade in DC, we’re showing up everywhere else to say NO KINGS. Join your local event for No Kings Day: https://www.nokings.org/?SQF_SOURCE=indivisible

We've seen it before, and we'll see it again.

A paranoid leader surrounded by flatterers. A bunker mentality replacing national strategy. Cabinet members and media lackeys tiptoeing around a narcissist’s mood swings, pretending to govern while the country burns.

Why Hitler Slept Through D-Day

On the morning of June 6th, 1944, Hitler was sound asleep. The Allies were landing. Tens of thousands of soldiers were pouring onto the beaches. The tide was turning, the war accelerating toward its violent, inevitable end. And the man leading the Reich was in bed, untouched. His generals knew

"Datasets aggregated on data.gov, the largest repository of U.S. government open data on the internet, are being deleted, according to the website’s own information. Since Donald Trump was inaugurated as president, more than 2,000 datasets have disappeared from the database."

Archivists Work to Identify and Save the Thousands of Datasets Disappearing From Data.gov

More than 2,000 datasets have disappeared from data.gov since Trump was inaugurated. But analyzing exactly what happened and where it went is going to take some time.

The world has always been ending, in one way or another. What’s different now is how we metabolize that knowledge, how we carry it with us through our days. The solution isn’t to look away from difficult truths, but to learn to see them clearly — to distinguish between actionable information and algorithmic amplification, between genuine concern and manufactured outrage.

The Doomscroll Industrial Complex: How Anxiety Became a Business Model

We need to talk about the doomers and the attention economy they’ve built. Not because they’re entirely wrong — from climate change to political extremism, a lot of their concerns are valid — but because they’ve created something extraordinary: a perpetual motion machine powered by anxiety. Let’s call

Hello, police? Yeah, I found the groomers and you will never believe they are not at the pride parade nor at the drag queen story hour. Nope, they're coming to Washington in January. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/nov/24/trump-cabinet-alleged-sexual-abusers?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other
Trump’s White House is filling with alleged sexual abusers ... led by him

As the far right celebrates a win for their gender, a raft of people accused of misconduct is named for the cabinet

About me and Nazis:

Back in 1906 my great-grandpa and his family emigrated to the UK from the part of the Russian empire that became Poland in 1918.

A bunch of their relatives said "naah, life's good" and stayed home in the old country.

In 1939, Nazis invaded and by 1943 they were all dead.

It turns out that FAFO is a REALLY BAD way of dealing with Nazis.

And Trump and J. D. Vance are playing a medley from Hitler's hymn book, at ever-increasing volume.

You know how this ends—if you let it.

Dear U.S.A.

Fucking leave the homeless alone and stop trying to use them to fill your prisons.

Thanks.

See the shenanigans being played.👇

Pass it on.

The people who are calling for Biden to drop out are NOT the people who will suffer if Trump comes back in.
