Across America and the world, people are realizing it’s not possible to appease America’s dictator.
The only way to deal with him is to stand up to him — and the only way to stand up to him is by joining together against him.
It's time for a massive general strike across the country.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

Two autism-related grants being cut by HHS:
-$93,000 for ALIVE: Development and feasibility of a psychosocial intervention for sexual and gender minority autistic adults
-$2.4 million for Biomarkers of Late Diagnosis in Females and Gender Diverse Autism

In its simplest terms, the apparent demise of #USAID is the result of the world's richest man ending a program that helps millions of poor people. You don't need a Ph.D. in moral theology to see why this is an evil. You can just read Jesus's parables on the rich and the poor.

I spent 30 years in journalism & loved every minute. But now, I'm so glad I got laid off 9 yrs ago. I thought our mission was to serve the public, not bow down to a dictator. But the WH press corps is more concerned about page views than the state of our nation ... www.cjr.org/political_pr...

Plenty to worry about—but some are looking forward to the press having better access.
