“Press on”?!?! You mean like a fake, polished, fashion finger nail? That seems about right for the current Dem leadership. How about Standing up? Obstructing? Fighting? Defeating? Do something!!!!!!!

Our institutions have failed - they’re not slowing the progress of authoritarians. Resistance is ACTION & WE are the resistance. Refusing to resist is collaboration w/ authoritarians. Power isn’t absolute - it always struggles to maintain. Resistance is the currency of authoritarian collapse.
The toughest lesson in resistance history is the one people least want to hear: Institutions won't save us, opposition isn't enough, and authoritarianism doesn't have a stopping point. Be an optimist ...

What makes this visual even more stunning is that it was made possible by people who said their #1 concern when voting was the economy. What idiots.

Liberation Day! When Trump liberated trillions of dollars from the global economy with a f*cked up Tariff “plan” that only the Oligarchs could love.

There is no need for this. We have counted the votes 3x already. He keeps losing. He won’t accept losing so he forcing everyone to his will. There is no reason these ballots should be in jeopardy.

And I hope the overcorrection is severe and sustainable. I hope the oligarch continues to naively believe they are winning.

I hope I live long enough to see a full circle moment where Congress restores Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid and funds them from one big billionaire tax! Eat the rich!

This is where the courts need to develop their own marshals for enforcement.

80% of NC is still rural and many NC residents still use food banks to make ends meet. Everyone in NC needs to fight this latest attack. Call Tillis and Budd (Yes, I know, but they still need to hear about it).

Musk started this attack on the federal workforce. That was somewhat rebuffed by the courts as unlawful. Now the sinister attack sets in. Funny, I don't recall FOTUS lecturing us about the "bloated, corrupt federal bureaucracy" on the campaign trail. Guess it slipped his feeble mind.

THIS is why we cannot have nice things!
3 million low-income North Carolinians, including hundreds of thousands of its children, are covered by Medicaid when they need to see a doctor.
But on Tuesday, 10 of NC's members of Congress voted to gut Medicaid anyway and eliminate that coverage from thousands of their own constituents.

Federal judges have tried ordering the unfreezing of funds, have issued a TRO to stop the freeze, but the federal treasury payment system (ASAP) still will not allow access to these funds. I’m waiting for a judge to issue an order for a US Marshall to make an arrest.
