You wouldn’t vacation in Dachau in 1935. Don’t vacation in Florida in 2025.
We’re calling for a Florida boycott over the inhumane “Alligator Alcatraz” detention site. Cancel your family vacation and choose a different destination this summer.

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

I would also encourage you to Google the LOCAL OFFICE PHONE NUMBERS for your Senators, regardless of their party affiliation, to demand a NO VOTE on the Republican spending bill. (When the local office is called, you have better odds of reaching a person and getting a response.)

one thing i keep thinking about is how there is simply no way to design a constitutional system that can resist authoritarian incursion if participants in that system do not actually care that much

Time and again, Democrats tried to pass legislation to increase staff and resources at the Social Security Administration. Each time, Republican stood in the way.
Now, Donald Trump and Elon Musk want to cut SSA staff by as much as *HALF*—at a time when the number of beneficiaries is exploding.

Social Security Administration could cut up to 50% of its workforce

Musk just gave the game away in his interview with Joe Rogan.
He said that it's because of Social Security that "people are living longer than expected"—which coupled with a lower U.S. birth rate creates a situation he finds intolerable.
He _is_ a Yarvinist—and he's coming for our Social Security.

Opinion | Trump’s War on D.E.I. Is Really a War on Civil Rights
The genius of the right-wing crusade against D.E.I. is that the term is amorphous enough that it can mean many different things to many different people.

More diversity is revealing that their so-called meritocracy is B.S.

Don't let this "Kavanaugh" style of vetting continue where Trump CONTINUES TO SILENCE WOMEN. Google your Senators HOME OFFICE NUMBERS and call to protest now.
