PROP - PR Over Policy.
Don't confuse them.
He is flooding the zone. He knows that media will cover everything he does. Getting people upset. Which helps give him more coverage of the upset people. All just talking about him.
Dems need to be strategic.

we have a president with a tenuous grip on small legislative majorities who is out of the gate with a flurry of dramatically unpopular orders and who has just demonstrated his weakness on the international stage. if i were an elected member of his domestic opposition, i might try to draw real blood.

i will say that we have never experienced anything like an administration trying to essentially freeze the activities of the entire federal government while making a series of illegal power grabs. genuinely unclear to me what kind of response, if any, these guys are generating against them

For every executive order, bill or funding cut that targets marginalized people, let’s counter with an act of kindness.
Cut SNAP funding? Give to a community fridge
Cut PrEP funding? Give to AIDS organizations.
Mask bans? Wear a mask!
Attacks on trans rights? Amplify trans creators.

People who want to use slurs without being chastised remind me of the rightwing men who complain about leftwing women not wanting to date them.
The right can't stand that no matter how much political power they amass, people can still reject them socially for being so repulsive and terribly uncool.

Patients who wear a mask to access healthcare are NOT anxious.
Hospital acquired COVID has a 10% fatality rate.
Many of us are already severely chronically ill.
There’s a pandemic that is airborne and currently ongoing.
Adapting to a threat is not anxiety, it’s a justified, rational response

I’ve felt like I’m living in an alternate reality compared to most people since 2021
Everyone moved on from COVID & I’m burdened with the knowledge that COVID didn’t move on from us
Now it’s even worse as Trump supporters continue to double down about how awesome he is while everything falls apart

Parents want to live near the best schools, which are based on the funding they receive, which are in areas where homes are more expensive & the cost of living is higher, shutting families out based on wealth.
Break the cycle.
Public schools should be equitably and fully funded.

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good.
Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.

Health insurance companies do not provide mental healthcare. They make money by denying access to it.
Record health insurance industry profits are *because* insurance companies broke the law and failed to cover mental health treatments, not in spite of.
