Not only are they ignoring climate change—they’re trying to cover up the cost. Shutting down NOAA’s disaster tracking so we can’t see the BILLIONS it’s costing us? This ain’t solving the crisis—it’s hiding it.

Pay attention to the SAVE Act. Its passage would essentially hand over the democracy to maga. They want to strip us of our votes. People need to make a HUGE stink about this and start protesting the GOP.

SAVE Act Would Undermine Voter Registration for All Americans
Congress should reject this antidemocratic and ill-conceived bill.

Russell Vought is the architect of Trump’s power grab — he’s the human embodiment of this unconstitutional OMB memo. Senate Democrats must throw everything they’ve got into sinking Vought’s nomination for OMB director. Let them know that you’re paying attention: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

PRESIDENT BIDEN: “I hope Trump re-thinks the tariffs, I think it’s a counterproductive thing to do— we’re surrounded by 2 oceans and 2 allies: Mexico and Canada. The last thing we need to do is screw up those relationships.”

People voted for cruelty. Plain and simple. Cruelty to those who they see as less than, as not human, as unequal. Any other explanation is inadequate & incomplete.
News has just broke that Trump plans to eject trans people from the military within days of inauguration.
Trans servicemembers who have served 19 years will lose their pensions and healthcare.
This is obscene. They served our country, and will be kicked to the side like trash.

This will mean higher gas prices, higher alcohol prices, higher food prices, higher building prices, higher car prices, higher pharmaceutical prices, etc. Trump is about to teach Americans who *actually* pays for tariffs (the consumers do).

I, like many of you, have been contemplating our predicament since election night.
We are in a losing war for our democracy and I'm not sure we collectively know who our true adversary is.
It's not the voting blocks...white women, Latinos, Gen X. It's not MAGA. It's not even Trump.
