Don't be afraid to call things by what they are. MAGA is a terrorist organization, ICE is a secret police force conducting Ethnic Cleansing, Elon Musk is an oligarch, and Trump is a foreign backed coup d'état figurehead. This is not an administration, this is a regime, and your country is occupied.

Don’t let them scare you.
Don’t let them get you to give up hope.
This is what they want more than anything.
Their evil is never more alive than when we sleep.

Police are investigating a report of fake ICE agents targeting a Ukrainian grocery store.
An SUV with an “ICE” decal circled Sunday—then bolted when security showed up.
These impostors are appearing nationwide,, preying on people already living in fear— in the shadows. It’s calculated and cruel.

I just watched a story about a teacher in Idaho fighting back after being forced to take down a sign that said, "Everyone is Welcome Here."
This kind of stuff is beyond STUPID.
If someone is offended by a "Everyone is Welcome Here" sign, they have psychological issues that need to be dealt with.

The fascism we are experiencing is an EMERGENCY. It needs to be responded to with lightening speed.
The courts are helping, but lightening speed is not their thing. They weren't designed for that.
So we all need to do more to respond. Get angry. Get organized. Get creative. Get vocal.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

Dismantling the Department of Education has nothing to do with improving outcomes for our kids, it’s simply about taking away resources from our public schools.

The government’s move to abolish diversity, equity and inclusion policies is a naked attempt to appeal to prejudice – but it may well backfire
