"Ms. Hirschmann, the descendant of Holocaust survivors, said Mr. Khalil’s arrest reminded her of family stories from that “terrible time,” when her grandfather and uncle were taken away in the middle of the night.

“I know, personally from my family history, I know what fascism is, I know what genocide is, I know what abduction is,” Ms. Hirschmann said.

Moments later, she was arrested."

That post aged well. 🙃

This is why I called both my Senators yesterday. #Schumer couldn't even pretend to have a spine for 48 hours.

Schumer and EVERY Democrat that votes for this fascist budget should be VOTED OUT.

DON'T ENABLE FASCISTS. How fucking hard is this? No wonder everyone hates the Democrats.

🤦🤦🤦🤦

“No #democracy movement has ever failed when it was able to mobilize at least 3.5 % of the population to #protest over a sustained period At that scale, most soldiers have no desire to suppress protesters. Why? Because the crowd includes family members, friends, coworkers, and neighbors. With a population of 327 million, the U.S. would need to mobilize about 11.5 million people to assert popular, democratic power on the government.”

3.5%

There are SO MANY protests taking place in Washington DC these days, but I haven't heard of any that are specifically in opposition to the United States interfering with the sovereignty of Canada, Greenland, and/or Panama. I feel compelled to publicly express strong opposition to the idea of our government invading, annexing, or threatening countries that have done nothing to harm us. Does anyone in Washington DC know of any suitable protests?

UPDATE: Musk attacks Musk Watch
muskwatch.com/p/update-musk-at

"the Musk Watch #DOGE Tracker... authoritatively demonstrated that #ElonMusk had been grossly overstating the cuts implemented by DOGE...

#Musk offered no actual critique of the Musk Watch DOGE Tracker's methodology...

Musk Watch is a four-person team, but we can rock the boat of the wealthiest and most powerful man in the world."

Headline and text from article: UPDATE: Musk attacks Musk Watch Judd Legum Mar 13, 2025 Yesterday, we launched the Musk Watch DOGE Tracker. This new tool authoritatively demonstrated that Elon Musk had been grossly overstating the cuts implemented by DOGE. While Musk claimed that DOGE had made $105 billion in cuts, the Musk Watch DOGE Tracker revealed that just $8.6 billion of those cuts were verifiable. Within hours, Musk personally attacked the Musk Watch DOGE Tracker on X:

Text from article: Yesterday’s White House stunt had all the hallmarks of Trump corruption, but there was something else, too—an air of desperation. It was a tacit admission that the protests are working and that Musk and Trump are rattled enough by current sentiment that they’re willing to turn the South Lawn into a showroom. Watching Musk clam up on Fox Business or quietly idle next to Trump in front of the White House, it’s even easier than normal to see past Musk’s trademark bullshitting and bluster. These moments make clear that this time, Musk has wagered the only thing he can’t easily buy back—the very myth he created for himself.
