The Trump regime's repeated attacks on "DEI," "wokeness," and the trans community have one clear purpose:
If we are angry at each other, we don't look up to see how big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

Some "audit."
A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.

Meanwhile, where's his healthcare plan?
Trump just said he’s calling for the full forcible transfer of all 1.8 million Gazans out of the strip and says “The US will take over the Gaza Strip”

Can't wait for FL to go through a hurricane season without FEMA. Love the state, but since the new order of the day is (as per President Trump) to be mean and vengeful, it will take all my not-an-asshole decency and willpower to keep from laughing and laughing when Ron DeSantis has to pay for it.

Yep.
A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish.
Well, not this old warrior. I’ve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. I’m concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. I’m ready to do my part.
Who’s with me?
