Some good news.
A federal judge in Washington, D.C. extended a block on Trump’s blanket freeze on all governmental grants and loans, saying the administration’s actions were “irrational, imprudent, and precipitated a nationwide crisis.”

The undocumented immigrants they're dying to deport contribute nearly $100 billion in annual taxes, and take almost nothing in return. I'd love to hear their argument about how getting rid of these tax contributors will make their lives better. Wait, no. I actually don't want to hear it.

This is what is coming in Trump's administration unless we do something. Call your senators and remind them that Trump betrayed the Oath of Office and is planning to do it again. This is the plan for doing it and it's against the 14th Amendment.

But we need to be educated in order to do this. That's why authoritarians obfuscate the facts, hate the media, and want to do away with public education.

This is why Citizens United giving more rights to the rich than the people is so wrong. We end up with an upper class who can easily make laws that favor them, while the average citizen cannot afford a lawyer.
Just look at the difference in CEO salary as compared to our peer nations,

When oligarchs take over, society declines because money is not invested in the people. They could at least invest the same amount of money in humanitarian and social causes. It kills me that Trump wants to pull out of NATO and the Paris Accord.

Worth noting that McConnell refusing to whip votes to convict Trump at his impeachment trial (or vote himself to convict) is *why* we’re in this position right now. If McConnell is looking for the person at fault, he might want to consult a mirror.
Mitch McConnell: “We’re in a very, very dangerous world right now, reminiscent of before world war two,” he says. “Even the slogan is the same. ‘America First.’ That was what they said in the ’30s.”

So Elon Musk now has net worth of 400 billion. He still wants his annual salary of $56 billion, which was denied by a Delaware judge. And he wants to gut our government agencies while he enjoys billion dollar contracts with our government. We could simply cancel his contracts and save a lot of $$$.
