Retired nurse practitioner, worked in many fields including child and adult psychiatry, chemical dependence, primary care. A very nervous Democrat whose parents were Holocaust survivors and constantly on the watch for fascism.
I wish the Dems had chosen a different DNC chair than Ken Martin. He seems like a “nice guy” which is not exactly what is needed. He doesn’t speak with authority and seems apologetic before he utters a word. We need strength, even bluster to counteract all the other noise.

But heavens no, we can’t call it the MAGA Murder Bill. Wouldn’t be decorous.
@gallego.senate.gov

I lost someone to suicide last night—because of this bill. I know disabled folks planning the same if it passes. They’ll lose everything. I can’t send them to the ER—they’d be released in 72 hrs with a $50k bill.
Please help. Lives are on the line

America has rolled up the Welcome mat.

It pains me to say, but I would not vacation in America until the Felon and his band of white supremacist thieves are no longer burning it down.

There is a plan to have veterans block Trump’s military parade for his birthday. As much as I would love to see that, the set up is rife with with risks for violence we have never seen in our country. What do others think?

This is horrifying.

Trump is testing his ability to impose totalitarian rule on the United States. He & his Republican henchmen are traitors.

IF WE TOLERATE THIS, WE LOSE EVERYTHING.

Get in the streets. Rise up. Fight this tyranny, or live in fear. If he can arrest a governor, he can arrest you.

The sad thing is, if the key people who work at 60 Minutes all leave, Trump ultimately gets what he wants:

A compliant broadcast which will be favorable to him so he can lie with impunity

Because he’ll have the veneer of authority from a formerly independent press

Everyone is touting that Elon Musk is “over”. Big deal. His boss is the evil powerbroker and we and the courts have no way to make him comply.
