“Fascism, the pamphlet Army Talks explained, “is government by the few and for the few. The objective is seizure and control of the economic, political, social, and cultural life of the state.” “The people run democratic governments, but fascist governments run the people.” Sound familiar?

Democrats pressuring Platner to drop out shows character and integrity matter, unlike Rs, who have demonstrated neither matters, nor does rape.

Earlier this year the TN Secretary of State VOLUNTARILY gave the federal government the state’s voter file. (The states that refused have been vindicated by the courts.) To make sure you have not been removed from the rolls, check your record at your county’s election commission.

SCOTUS has turned into a promoter and supporter of Trump’s ideas instead of an arbiter of legal objectivity. It’s clear they support the dismantling of democracy and establishment of an oligarchy.

“This president and administration are turning the extraordinary resources of the American people—the things we the people have created over decades with our effort and our tax dollars—to their own ends. We are paying for their theft with a significantly diminished country, and even with our lives.”

“They find it difficult to have nuanced, detailed conversations about weighty issues (such as) historic injustice, immigration, abortion, because they are simply ignorant of the real facts and complicated human stories behind these issues,” Entrekin said.

“Let’s cross that bridge when we get to it, Phil.” Christian nationalist GOP candidate for gov Monty Fritts tells Phil Williams he’d ignore judges sometimes, wants to ban Islam (not Judaism🤷🏼)— won’t say what happens when courts stop him on that. More: www.instagram.com/reel/DZFpBt8...

Brookings Institution reported in 2025 that only about four cases of mail fraud occur per 10 million mail-in ballots, or 0.000043% of total mail ballots cast. But Republicans are using the idea of voter fraud to argue for measures that could toss more than 21 million Americans off the voter rolls.

The SAVE Act forces citizens to register in person, track down birth certificates or passports, take time off work, find childcare, and drive hours just to get on the rolls. Trump’s own commission didn’t find fraud. MAGA just wants fewer voters🤬🤬🤬 #SaveActIsPayToVote

TN voters: First of 3 elections this year: May 5 TN VOLUNTARILY turned over your information to DOJ (other states refused and won). What will DOJ do with it? Nothing good I bet. ========= 1. BEFORE April 4, 2026, check your voter registration to be sure it’s there and accurate.

Was discussing —what else—illegal immigration recently. Listened to someone complain about how many came across during Biden’s admin. 1/3
