Steve Schmidt:
How Donald Trump & Elon Musk Are Undermining America
There's going to be a vote in a Wisconsin Supreme Court election. It matters a great deal who wins, because we're testing whether Elon Musk can buy judges.”

Project 2025 is no longer a theory. It’s now in play and being used by Trump, Musk and the Nazi Republicans.
This country is in deep trouble.
Fascism expert [Yale prof. Jason Stanley] shares stark warning about the #US, and why he left for Canada
@gleick it never was a #democracy to begin with, but an #oligarchy to, begin with!
Ha! The Open Letter to All European Politicians and Leaders to Abandon X has finally been published. I didn't get a confirmation email, but I decided to check before sending a grumpy email to the site administrators.
I feel that the campaigns encouraging people to leave X have slowed down, but we still have millions of fools indirectly supporting Musk's agenda. My primary concern is with the politicians whose salaries we contribute to and whom we can demand. Now is the time to reach out and see if there are any leaders in Europe with the guts to take a stand.
Their feedback will be crucial.
The old-fashioned petition site of the @EUCommission https://www.europarl.europa.eu/petitions/en/petition/view/33358
Yeah, the text formatting is all broken and we can barely read it without paragraphs. I cannot edit, maybe I need to send a FAX.
P. S. sorry, I will have first to send a grumpy email. I noticed the petition was not published yet after almost 3 months. I was misled because I saw the "Status: New", but I was logged in!

Looks like the French are actively resisting the idea of a convicted criminal becoming a president. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/31/world/europe/france-marine-le-pen-embezzlement-2027-election-ban.html?unlocked_article_code=1.8E4.3fZ7.G0y1DY0IBdrO&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare #France #Democracy
Well done, la #France 
And that's how to deal with corrupt, wannabe fascists in waiting: catch them for their crimes *before* they become candidates.
A #democracy must practice deliberation to survive.
W/ respect to #history education, this means we must welcome differing perspectives, engage with principled disagreement, and accept that history is controversial.
Since Jan 20, Trump has made clear he expects a monopoly over historical truth. He asserts that his facts and narratives are objective, while everything that troubles these is ideological warfare waged by a lunatic fringe.
History is participatory, or it is propaganda.
@NatureMC
They should have stopped that fascist party in the beginning, now it's to late. What they are doing is offer that fascist party the victory.
This is valid for all "democracies" in the world, fascist, neo nazi, far right parties must be stopped at their birth. No democracy for fascists.

If you vote in #Wisconsin and you take money from #SpaceNazi to contribute to the destrucion of #Democracy, you do not deserve to call yourself an #American. #WeThePeople will NEVER forget. Your names will be exposed and #Patriots will eventually track you down. THINK before you #vote.

American friends -- this is how it's done. Canadian MP Charlie Angus defends Democracy & DEI. Stand together.
Call your reps! Here's our suggestions!
* All your reps must call for Peter Hegseth, Michael Waltz, and any other people involved in the disastrous Signal leak. Our electeds need to be on this every day.
* FOR YOUR REPRESENTATIVE: Demand they oppose H.R. 1526, the No Rogue Rulings Act, and any other attempt to rewrite the federal court system.
* FOR YOUR REPRESENTATIVE: Demand they oppose H.R. 22, the SAVE Act, which will create unnecessary barriers to voter registration and disenfranchise countless voters.
* Protests Trump's unlawful deportment and enslavement of innocent Venezuelan immigrants - Impeachment isn't out of the question.
