Polebridge, Montana, and the surrounding North Fork area only has around 100 full-time residents. On Saturday, the hamlet on the edge of Glacier National Park saw more than 60 people attend a No Kings Indivisible rally at the dirt road intersection.

Abrams: The destination this nation was built on was a nation that sees all and serves all and stands for all. That's the destination. And yet we are living in a moment where ethno-fascists are in charge of the government…

Today proves that Republicans were serious about one promise: to cut taxes for the wealthy. All the rest was bullshit.

The bill will strip close to one trillion dollars from federal Medicaid funding across a decade—an attack expected to cause tens of thousands of preventable deaths each year, disproportionately affecting the disabled community.

They’ve destroyed American medical research, the American education system, the American university research system, and the aid system that protected millions of lives, and they’ve given our anti-immigrant masked paramilitary police force a budget the size of a nation

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Relieved to hear someone naming the layers and layers of trauma involved in what’s happing in our world right now.
They are so traumatized they do not realize … they are connected to other people, other animals, trees, fungi, bacteria, the air & water & sun, the unimaginably complex biosphere, and the tiny and fragile planet that carries it all through the cosmos…

The Trump administration has halted $1 billion in funding for mental health services for children, claiming that the programs, which were established under a bipartisan law aimed at curbing gun violence in schools, are no longer in “the best interest of the federal government.”

AOC: Some of the Republicans whose districts we visited just warned their leadership that they’re not sure they can vote for Medicaid cuts now.
We’ve got them on their back foot. But our job is not done.
We will rally every corner of the U.S.
We will not stop until they actually vote no.

No seriously though. Dems going to El Salvador is great, keep doing that. But we need to see that kind of fight for domestic stuff, too. Badly.
This, to me, is the most obvious messaging opportunity *ever* for Democrats. Chuck Schumer should be on the ground in Arkansas within 24 hours and Democrats in both houses of Congress should be filing measures to provide federal funds to assist in recovery efforts. Force Republicans to say no.
After 14 tornadoes in 2 days Arkansas is asking for federal assistance — but Trump is saying no. arktimes.com/arkansas-blo...
