Just to be clear, this dangerous, yet ridiculous, fascist propaganda is depicting Donald Trump, not as Julius Caesar, but as Caligula.

"Since Donald Trump took office a little more than three weeks ago, outlays have averaged $30bn a day. Compare that with the same period last year under Joe Biden: federal spending back then came to about $26bn a day. "

They’re not only issuing illegal orders, they’re straight up ignoring the judiciary. This is not how this is supposed to work.

“…it is important that we not allow it [Trump Administration] to erase history.” - Rob Johnson NSA retiree.
This is awful; it was reversed, but it’s still a stark representation of how DEI is misunderstood, and misogyny and racism are being perpetuated and upheld by the EOs.

Remembering for myself, when we say “Don’t look at me, I didn’t vote for him” that our vote wasn’t the end. We still have a duty to do what we can, to care for those around us, to use whatever privilege we may have to amplify and speak in support of those without it.

This is NOT common sense. This is racism and sexism as fear mongering. It’s scapegoating in the face of a tragedy that Trump has no capacity to handle like a human being with any shred of empathy.
REPORTER: I'm trying to figure out how you can come to the conclusion right now that diversity had something to do with this crash.
TRUMP: Because I have common sense, ok? And unfortunately a lot of people don't

What the actual f***?
BREAKING: Trump's budget office has ordered a temporary freeze on federal financial assistance, a move that could pause payments to states and households receiving aid like SNAP food aid.
This is nuts.

President-elect Donald Trump has mused more than once that he might like to run for re-election again in 2028 and seek a third term. The Constitution's 22nd Amendment does not allow it. Here’s why. nyti.ms/48YsMZO

Tis the season for helpful posts about what food shelves need so here's my advice:
If your kid's school is doing a Canned Food Drive or a movie theater is doing a special movie screening with a can of food in lieu of admission: give a can.
Otherwise: JUST GIVE MONEY.

I feel like the important context for RFK, Jr.’s brain worm has been lost:
He claimed a worm ate his brain while in divorce court in order to prove that he was too MENTALLY DISABLED TO PAY CHILD SUPPORT.
Trump wants to make this man the head of the largest health organization in the United States.
