Trump and Republicans have changed NOTHING — NONE of those changes were in the resolution they passed.
Don’t let them lie to you.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

We got a Costco membership for the first time in our lives today. They asked why & I said because treat your workers well, you value diversity, & you didn’t cave in to authoritarian demands. He said: “We’ve been getting lots of folks saying that, thanks for joining.”

With Handmaids Tale people focus on the shock of the mass rapes in the book and the show.
But how the regime came to be in power in that book keeps me awake at night because it is playing out in very intricate detail in our real lives right now.

Gotta love it when the US Secretary of Defense mouths Russian propaganda about the US Navy.
Hegseth's talking points were literally the kind of thing Russian state media spouts every day.
Disgusting, shameful, and un-American.
Our military deserves so much better.

The part of George Orwell’s 1984 that everyone forgets is how the music and publishing industries have been replaced by a machine that spits out songs and bad novels “without any human intervention.” The goal is to keep you from ever having to think.

If the FAA director got fired over a business beef AND there was an air traffic controller hiring freeze despite huge shortages AND a chaotic blitz to hollow out federal bureaucracy, and then within a week the first American airliner crashes in 16 years, you would be insane not to talk about it all.

To our faithful public servants across America:
HOLD THE LINE -- do NOT resign.
Stay in your job, keep reporting for duty, and make them fire you.
Because they CAN'T fire you - it's ILLEGAL - and we will stop them in the courts.
WE'VE GOT YOUR BACK.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
