AFL-CIO, representing 15 million American workers, has called the SAVE Act what it is: a voter suppression scam written for the sole benefit of America’s oligarchs.

America will have its own Gulag Archipelago. Twenty-three concentration camps will soon come online, unless, together, we can find and pull the political handbrake.

Parents CAN buck medical advice and withhold lifesaving vaccines from their kids.
But parents CANNOT heed the advice of doctors and ensure their children receive lifesaving gender-affirming care.
Parental rights only exist when they are aligned to the MAGA platform.
It’s the same for other rights.
States’ rights.
Gun rights.
Women’s rights.
Voting rights.
Copyrights.
Etc.

Galllup says it’s reorganizing. This feels like capitulation to a regime hellbent on eliminating facts and truth. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/11/us/politics/gallup-poll-presidential-approval-ratings-trump.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share

My first piece for @motherjonesmag@threads.net
I’d be honored if you read it and grateful if you shared it.
This started as a #Mastodon post last Monday.
Trump wants to dictate the past, just like he wants total obedience in the present.
The fight for history is forever intertwined with the fights for truth and democracy.
Black and Indigenous Americans know this perhaps better than anyone.

All of this becomes MORE URGENT with Trump 2.0 and the new wave of abuses and violations we are witnessing.
This is why Gov. Walz and others are speaking about the importance of documentation...to facilitate future criminal prosecutions or at least some kind of truth-telling and public accounting.

In my course on transitional justice, we start with the International Military Tribunal (aka Nuremberg Trial) and the impossibility of bringing all perpetrators to justice in the wake of mass atrocities and large-scale human rights abuses.
The legal system doesn’t have the resources to investigate, identify, charge, and bring to justice every single individual who participated in and facilitated the violence. So you start with “big fish.” The architects and instigators. Who gave the orders?

“Rural America knows the truth long before the rest of the country feels it. Nothing collapses all at once. It just stops working in small places first while everyone else calls it local hardship. That’s why wood banks—like a food bank but for fuel—are important. They’re the clearest sign that basic systems in this country have already failed.”
