Tyranny doesn’t happen overnight. Take it from the people who missed the first signs.

This is chilling watching how tyranny begins and seeing what Trump has tried in one week. We must fight back. We must support everyone targeted. We must not obey. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/22/o...

Today, let's remember Trump's betrayal of our Veterans as he cut VA healthcare providers, fired 10s of 1000s of Veterans, ended 100s of research projects on Veterans mental health, addiction, & burn pit consequences. TRUMP LIES! But thank you for your service. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

This is becoming more and more common that ICE Agents (including unidentified in plain clothes) are pointing guns at people accused of "following them." This is not okay. They are getting more aggressive. Our Courts & lawmakers must STOP THIS lawless & dangerous violence! youtu.be/3UfSn96s8A4?...

The vote tonight includes lots of hidden goodies for self-serving Republicans while they gut SNAP & healthcare.

@cortezmasto.senate.gov I heard you trying to gaslight us by saying you "won by caving." We are not stupid. You are a coward. I am ashamed that I helped with your election. We will start looking for your replacement NOW. Never again will we elect a coward like Katherine Cortez Masto.
President Trump and Republicans in Congress have ripped health care away from millions of Americans and are threatening to raise prices on millions more who are already struggling to afford their insurance.

Do read Donnie’s post. Just another example of what a vile person he is. Every day, I wake up, & can’t believe our country has this complete jackoff as President.
The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

Yet 8 Democratic Senators: Kaine, Shaheen, Hassan, King, Rosen, Cortez Masto, Durbin, & Fetterman were weak cowards letting Republicans move ahead with their healthcare decimation GETTING ZERO CONCESSIONS. We need to find NEW CANDIDATES NOW to primary Kaine, Hassan, Cortez Masto, Fetterman, & Rosen.
A reminder - last March, republicans promised to restore $1.1B in funding to DC in exchange for funding the government, and Mike Johnson never took it up in the House.

This is a powerful film. It certainly is timely. We did not hold Trump account for his attack on our democracy and now he’s taken us into the pit of authoritarian kleptocracy. He has built inhumane camps for 100s of 1000s. He is murdering unnamed people on boats. WE MUST NOT JUST STAND & WATCH!
