Indicting your political enemies because they’re your enemies, not because they’ve committed crimes, is unAmerican.

1/ If you are feeling overwhelmed by the fast paced of legal news, remember that it’s deliberate. It’s a strategy Trump uses, flooding the zone in hopes that people will tune out. Read what you need to know here to get ready for the week: joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...

I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.

Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

for the one millionth time, the dept of education just monitors access to education. civil rights, title ix, disabilities, making sure everybody gets a fair opportunity.

this is not about curriculum. states design those standards. this is an attack on the idea of fairness in education.
if a senile old man can wave his little marker and say the department of education is gone we don’t really live in anything remotely like a democracy do we

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Facebook is now flagging and blocking mention of Project 25 in relation to Trump.

Apparently there are still fact-checkers where the facts hurt Zuckerberg.

From Bloomberg: Tax cuts will benefit the wealthy and cut services from the elderly and the poor.

Dem leaders should be discussing this locally with their constituents. Have town hall meetings, distribute flyers, send messenger pigeons.

Get the word out however possible.
Republicans Want the Poor to Pay for Trump’s Tax Cuts
To offset the costs of extending the president-elect’s 2017 tax law, House members are proposing cuts to food stamps, social services and Medicaid.

Folks, we’re being manipulated! TikTok went dark last night, ahead of the deadline, pushing propaganda that Trump will “save the day.”

Now, Trump plans to sign an exec order on Monday giving TikTok more time to find a buyer before a US ban takes effect. Now he’s a hero, especially for young folks.

Lights out. Thanks for the laughs and lessons, TikTok. Not jumping on TikTok 2.0 under these circumstances.

Mass following all of my favorite TikTokers on YouTube. Only 579 to go. Love everyone of yous.
