I think I’m going to start referring to the Biden term as the Between Years. I’m also going to start referring to the Trump terms as the Dark Times. So, one day, I’ll ask my kiddos, “Remember the #BetweenYears, after the #FirstDarkTimes and before the #SecondDarkTimes?”

Let me get this straight: Trump is using millions in FEMA shelter and services funds to build the cruel and unnecessary "Alligator Alcatraz" immigrant detention facility.
The cruelty is staggering.

Trump is urging SCOTUS to let him fire three Democrat-appointed members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The CPSC regulates safety of everyday consumer products.
Guess who recently sued the agency and claimed that it's "unconstitutional"?
Amazon.

Democrats cannot defeat authoritarian fascism without an agenda that stands squarely on the side of working people.
We need a pro-worker, pro-democracy, anti-establishment movement that will take on oligarchy like never before.

@maddow.msnbc.com “Dank Stupidity” is not only the best description of the Trump Admin’s antics, but it should be the title of your next book. (You can thank me in the dedication 🤓 )

Ramadan is just round the corner! 🌙
While we prepare for this blessed month, let's also consider the needs of those around us, including the Autistic Muslims.
Whether it's the transitions or sensory differences, the sleep disruption or community events, Ramadan can bring on some challenges.

As an autistic person, I find it disgusting that the rationale for Elon’s Hitler salute is that he’s autistic. Seriously? That wasn’t a stimming behavior. Look at his history of behavior and the things that he has said. That was pure fascism right there. 🤮

My fav part of Elon doing a Nazi salute is the attempted explanation that it’s *ACTUALLY* a function of having a disability.
Ah yes, that strange medical condition called autism where you retweet holocaust deniers on a near-daily basis and then uncontrollably Hitler gesticulate.
Quite an illness!
