More and more Democrats in Congress understand that spending billions of taxpayer dollars to starve children in Gaza is not acceptable.
It’s time Republicans came on board.
No more military aid to Netanyahu’s war machine.

The road to authoritarianism is littered with people telling you you’re overreacting.

Chronic illness is just that… chronic. We may have good days & bad days … but we’re always sick
When you say “what’s wrong with you now” or “are you better yet” you’re refusing to accept the reality of our disabilities.
Our conditions don’t relent. There’s no break. There’s no “better”

Many people take their health for granted. They look at those of us with disabilities & think they’re better than us. We deserved it. We want to be sick. We’re not trying hard enough.
They believe they will be the exception, and that belief drives them to take risks 🧵

One of the things you are seeing right now is federal employees afraid to go on the record, plus inspectors generals are fired. Qualified and credible voices who know the inner workings of govt are afraid to rebut DOGE's bullshit.
This is a real and incredibly consequential chilling effect!

813 US billionaires held a record $6.72 trillion in wealth at the end of 2024.
The bottom 50% of Americans held roughly $3.9 trillion in wealth.
When 813 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

As I told The Guardian, multiple comments by Trump and allies targeting courts is a disturbing attack on the important role of the judiciary in our constitutional system as a check on other branches.
‘This is a coup’: Trump and Musk’s purge is cutting more than costs, say experts

Trump wants to extend his tax cuts for rich individuals, which would add $4.6T to the deficit.
But he wants to go even further, cutting the corporate tax rate to 15%.
It's yet another absolutely shameless giveaway.

Even the most disturbing RFK Jr. headline always manages to have a detail inside creepier than you could have imagined. I’m sorry, did you just say Black kids should have a chance to get “re-parented”???? Gift link wapo.st/4hW2xGI

-Cracked down on junk fees
-Fought against politically-motivated debanking
-Protected veterans from predatory lenders

Oligarchs want to reverse all of this.
