We must not leave this out of the account of what they have done. What Musk and Trump and Vought did. What Johnson and his band of sycophants allowed them to do. What tens of millions of fellow Americans endorse.

It would behove everyone to give this a listen (or read). History repeats itself, and much like the tyranny of the past, it's up to us to fight against the tyranny of the present.

Don’t despair. It’s rough going right now. But focus on these words of inspiration from Mahatma Ghandi. Evil never wins. This is temporary if we keep fighting #ThursdayMood

As a mother of an autistic child this pierces my soul.The problem is *never* the children-- it's the politics and the dirty money protecting insurance companies and l preventing change. Healthcare should not be a privilege in a country that bills itself as "the best" and all about "freedom".Period.
The BIG BEAUTIFUL BETRAYAL BILL isn’t just dollars.

It impacts kids with needs, lifesaving needs.

Needs that help them become thriving members of society.

Wake the fuck up, America. WE are the bad guys. Not "foreigners" (of which most of us are, btw) ----US.
I’m choked up seeing this—it’s shameful.

Iranian refugees got snatched by “immigration agents” dressed like bounty hunters in West LA’s Sawtelle neighborhood.

We’re really about to send them back to a country we just bombed? A regime known for jailing, torturing, and killing its own people?

Hell yes we do. Get angry, ladies. Nobody is going to save you-- save yourselves and use your voices where you can and how you can. YOU matter.
If you’re not angry, you’re not paying attention.

He's right. Now. Right now.
CBS reporter Scott Pelley:

This is a warning that I fear many will look back on in five or six years and think “he was so right”.

I was actually just talking about the fact that a service needs to exist so that we the people can be alerted to US gestapo activity in their vicinity. A few hours later I see an announcement from @50501movement.bsky.social with exactly that. Please sign up and share this resource far & wide!
