"Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.”

The most important ad of the day isn’t about beer, pizza or football.
It’s about justice and the truth.
Support the survivors and pass it on.

It would be so cool if we had an independent elected body to represent the will of the people and uphold the Constitution in the face of a growing executive tyranny.

Between seizing ballots in Georgia, trying to leverage Minnesota to turn over voter data, and political prosecutions, the DOJ is laying the groundwork to subvert the 2026 election. I created Democracy Docket for times like this. Help it grow. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

A statement from the family of Alex Pretti, obtained by CNN:
"We are heartbroken but also very angry.
Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman.
The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed.
Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you."

Happy Monday. Before we succumb to the amnesia of Trump’s Upside Down World, let’s take a moment to remember what happened five years ago.
Because the shame of that day endures, and its consequences are all around us.

Sinclair, a far-right station that spews the fascist authoritarian Trump regime's propaganda is now a facsimile of communist Russia's Soviet Central Television. Refusing to broadcast Jimmy Kimmel, Sinclair forced 28 anchors to read the exact same script.

For the 1000th time, if they were Russian assets, what would they do differently?
