Teen Vogue continues to provide the tools to fight through this fascist nightmare. Surprising? Sure, but I appreciate the effort and will they give to do it.

I researched every attempt to stop fascism in history. The success rate is 0%.
Historically there is no peaceful path out of this mess.
And *if* we get through this, can we PLEASE punish the evildoers like we never have in this country? Not the Civil War, or the Depression, or Jim Crow, or Watergate, Iran-Contra, the Iraq War. No one ever gets their due. And the nation continues to suffer more and more.
The WIRED Guide to Protecting Yourself From Government Surveillance
It is starting to get a bit constricting in this country. Masked kidnappers, occupying military forces, billionaire pedophiles and literal blood suckers in charge of the levers of power and your data. No shit, that’s all for real.
Maybe tighten up your digital defenses if it isn’t already too late.
In Wake of Trump Tariffs, John Deere Announces Mass Layoffs
I hate that this is gonna kick the Quad Cities right in the teeth.
That said, farm country may be the reason we’re stuck with this madman and the ag industry went all in. Now they are getting what they ordered delivered in bulk.
Billboard for Proud Boys hate group removed downstate after public pressure
I don’t know if you are in a marketing position, but Lamar Advertising gleefully took the Proud Boys’ money to put up a billboard in Illinois.
Yeah, the racists are recruiting at high schools. That’s the country Republicans want.
Who’s questioning women’s right to vote?
Women voting for Republicans confuse me. They are literally trying to take the right to vote away from women. It is on the table, yet, still, some women say “yes” to getting rid of their own rights.
Hell, I’m still confused why evangelical Christianity – if not the whole dogma at this point – is freely allowed to espouse hatred of women, gays, minorities, you name it, without censure. Without taxation. Without recourse and punishment for the literal abuse of children permitted inside the church.
Tribal groups assert sovereignty as feds crack down on gender-affirming care
If this country is going to survive with even a small chance of looking like it did in better times, it will be up to a couple blue states and the tribes to keep the faith. Everyone else has either knuckled under or given up since no one paid heed when they gave the warning alarms.
Here’s one area of human rights the tribal nations are leading on, as “progressive” politicians – calling you out personally Buttigieg – pull back/eliminate support for folks they should be caring and protecting.
U.S. air force to deny retirement benefits to transgender service members being forced out
Heard this story the other week. Can’t find the audio, but here’s the backstory. If we had a functioning judicial system, this hateful president and his crew would never be out of court, but we don’t. And that’s the plain and awful truth of the matter.
‘Operation Prairie Thunder’ will assist with deportations and boost Sioux Falls law enforcement
South Dakota is rounding up a brute squad to help the Feds kidnap and deport non-whites in their state. No shit, that’s a thing the governor is setting up.
Want to know how you can tell they are gonna be racist pricks about it. Here’s their logo. Yeah, that’s some pretty Nazi/SS shit right there in the aviators.
Idaho farmer calls for new look at immigration policy amid raids
Weird how these folks voted to abuse the other but blanche when they have to face what they’ve done.
Oh, it isn’t about morals, it is about losing money. Got it.
