Something familiar is happening…

In the civil rights era, they smeared leaders as “communist” to break their credibility and stall their momentum. It was the easiest way to silence dissent and turn justice movements into supposed security threats.

We are calling on the following traitors to the American people to immediately RESIGN, for voting with MAGA to re-open the government without any concessions to save the ObamaCare subsidies millions of Americans rely on.

These chickshit Dems just threw away 40 days of leverage, betraying millions.

This seems like a worthwhile project people should get behind. Make Chuck and the Spineless Eight face the human suffering their actions will cause.
So moved and enraged by the replies to this and was thinking... maybe we should collect them and send them to Chuck Schumer and the rest of the Senate cowards.

Form here, won't collect emails unless you provide them.

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

It has been said before, but it bears repeating: the elderly who’ve worked their entire lives to get $800 a month on Social Security aren’t bankrupting America. It’s tax-evading billionaires like Trump who are bleeding this country dry.

So you should really watch this. Just 2 minutes. But a window into the truly radical nature of the people Trump is nominating.

When pressed today, the nominee to be Ambassador to South Africa refuses to oppose reinstituting laws to prevent black people from voting in America.

NEW: House Judiciary's Jamie Raskin is echoing Jack Smith's demand for public hearings:

"I am now calling on you to accept Mr. Smith's offer to testify at a public hearing so the American people can all hear directly from him on the matters we will be questioning him about." tinyurl.com/yrmrdr3t
BREAKING:

Jack Smith is requesting that Congress and the Justice Dept. let him testify in public.

In new letters to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees, Smith says he wants to testify "in open hearings" because of "the many mischaracterizations" around his investigations.

Things to consider:

Document the violence & violations--on camera, w/photos, saving images--any way you can. Speaking as a historian- it will matter

Point out violations--w/images & text--even if you think it won't matter. It will. It needs to be called out & exposed

You are a witness.
Expose it.

"We don't control what he's going to do" says Leader Thune as he literally tries to give Vought a blank check to do whatever the hell he wants.

Don't let them gaslight you — Senate Republicans are complicit in everything coming out of this White House.
Thune warns Democrats about Russ Vought: ‘We don’t control what he’s going to do’
The Senate majority leader spoke out as some Republicans express qualms about the White House slash-and-burn campaign.

Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.
