But a $1 trillion tax break for the top 1%…

We are seven months in, and the speed with which vital civic institutions are capitulating to authoritarian demands we once would have regarded as inconceivable in an established liberal democracy is jawdropping. I hadn't thought I was polyannaish about America, but it's really stunning.

📌The President of the United States posted a FAKE VIDEO TO THE WORLD of a kneeling Barack Obama being placed in handcuffs, and we are supposed go along like it is just another day.
Our press has so completely lost the thread it would be laughable if it wasn't so damn dangerous and disgusting.

“Banning opposition parties…”: Working on it.
Interesting map of CA if it were gerrymandered.
I don't know what to think about this. Republicans are openly saying they're gerrymandering to gain seats. The response to that should be for Democrats to do it to.
But there's no end to that. Why don't they just ban opposition parties altogether?

Good, consistent, easily accessible, acute, chronic and preventative health care are human rights. For starters. Please add.
This administration is saying that "people should have to prove that they deserve health care" as justification for kicking millions off Medicaid. That's eugenics.
Health care is a human right, and everyone deserves access to health care no matter who they are, what they do, or how they live.

I have a distinct memory of a dictator pocketing something valuable that was only to look at. Maybe in last 15 years. Does anyone recall who that was?
Trump seen pocketing FIFA medal as he walks on stage to hand Chelsea replica club championship trophy
The president was given the medal to look at by Gianni Infantino while handing others out to the winning squad, though Trump later tucked it into his suit blazer

Can you hit repost? Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat.

This is a really important point. Most Medicaid recipients likely have NO idea that they’re about to lose their coverage.

AOC: Being taken is wrong, it is illegal, it is a violation of his First Amendment rights, it is an affront to every American, and we will not allow—and will continue to resist—the politicization and the continued political persecution that ICE is engaged in.
