Shorn of the legalities, the Admin basic position is that we can do whatever we want if we say it's national security (and that includes Trump lies about same, which can't be questioned) and we don't have to tell court or anyone why.

That's tyranny, plain and simple.

New data from the US Treasury reveals that federal spending was $603 billion in February, which is $36 billion HIGHER than February last year under Biden.

This suggests that DOGE has done nothing to cut spending.
Trump's first month showed $36 billion more in spending than last year
This February's monthly statement showed federal payments that were $36 billion higher than last February's.

The "system is rigged" narrative is one of the most powerful ways to persuade Americans. Nat Kendall-Taylor argues that to counteract authoritarian appeals, advocates must clearly explain who is rigging the system, how, & what real solutions exist.
Americans think the system is rigged. We need to start listening.
Working around the edges just won't cut it.

It's the 3rd day of #eatingdisordersawarenessweek and I thought it was time to address the role of #weightstigma in eating disorders.

Any one, in any size body and with any type of eating disorder has weight stigma to address as part of treatment and recovery.

Politics is the only way we get out of this mess.

The short definition of politics is: who gets what, when where, etc.

We will not allow Musk/Trump to get everything. This country belongs to all of us, not two immoral men.

Stand up, attend town halls, call Republicans, protest.

Apple has changed its maps to reflect the "Gulf of Mexico" to the "Gulf of America." These types of items are to deflect what is really going on including restructuring the entire government to only serve one person: Trump. This is autocracy folks.
