This is not a partisan issue. Using the power of the US government to seek retribution against political opponents and against people upholding the due process of law is un-American.

Trump won’t rule out seeking a third term in the White House, tells NBC News ‘there are methods’ for doing so President Donald Trump said in a Sunday-morning phone call that he was “not joking” about a third term, adding that “it is far too early to think about it.”

Fuck this. This plan, this media framing of the plan, all of it. Really.

No news organization should ever use the words "third term" without the word "unconstitutional" preceding it

I am a commissioner at the Federal Trade Commission. Earlier today, the president attempted to illegally fire me. This is corruption, plain and simple. I will see the president in court. My full statement:

“We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.”

I think many people who voted for him are not fascists. Misinformed, misled, victims of active propaganda campaigns and their own fear—but I don’t think many of them intended to vote for fascism, even if that’s what they ended up doing. I think that the 99% still have power if we find common ground.

I agree—no common ground with fascists. 100%. But I think it’s possible that most of the people I disagree with on many things aren’t fascists. It’s a leap of faith, but what other path to power over oligarchs aside from the rest of us realizing that we are strongest together?

I have the same thoughts and emotions, but they take away our power by keeping us divided. Divide and conquer. That’s the strategy. Together we are more powerful. We can find the common ground with people who are different from us. When the 99% can unite, that’s when it gets good.

Thank you for taking a stand and for reminding me to cancel my subscription.

Declaration for an Inclusive and Just Society When it comes to government or any institution with power, we have to ask: Who benefits? Whose interests are being served? Power has to be accountable and genuinely respect the dignity of all people—not just those with privilege or influence. True inclusion isn’t about lip service; it’s about facing up to the structures that keep certain people at the margins. Every person, simply by existing, has basic rights that don’t depend on government or economic status. A fair society understands this and works to make sure those rights are upheld. When any system fails at this, when it allows inequality or prejudice to run unchecked, it starts to lose its own legitimacy. What we need is real change, not just token reforms, to take apart these inequities and rebuild with everyone in mind. Our aim isn’t just to demand a seat at the table; it’s to change the table itself so it actually serves everyone’s needs, not just a privileged few. Rights are universal, and true justice doesn’t pick and choose. We’re committed to challenging any form of oppression and moving toward a society that’s genuinely equal for all. That’s not a dream—it’s a necessity. In short, until we deconstruct the hierarchies that put some over others, we can’t have real freedom or justice. This isn’t just something nice to have; it’s essential for a world where everyone has a fair shot at dignity and respect.

Resist Fascism. #resist #declaration #equity

Yes, and those of us who agree need to be aggressive about framing things like this and going on the offensive with this perspective (with love and empathy, of course, 🙂).
