A weekly reminder is probably not enough…
THIS. IS. NOT. NORMAL.
Wearing a hat that says “Trump was right about everything.”
Saying “I can do whatever I want. I’m the president.”
Ordering removal of a federal reserve governor.
Saying that people *want* a dictator.
Keep speaking out, friends.

The administration taking shares in a private company.
National Guard carrying guns and policing our streets.
Ideological purity tests in the government.
A president demanding a governor to “find me five seats.”
The list goes on.
Do not get complacent!

This is not normal. Nothing this regime does should be normalized. Attacking Iran is another distraction (albeit a mighty and dangerous one) from the regime dismantling our country and selling it off to the highest bidder.
Don’t become complacent and complicit. Continue speaking up.

“My point is that all-white, all-male congresses and state legislatures are not a legitimate basis for power and legal authority in the representative democracy of a pluralistic society.”
The point made that pre-1965, America was functionally an apartheid state.
Okay, Elie, let’s go!

Remember:
Felon 47’s antics are a DISTRACTION. What do they not want you to see? What is being done quietly behind the scenes that we aren’t able to recognize?
(The P2025 cabal is hard at work…)
Continue to protest, to call, to post. AND stay focused.

I get up. I drink my coffee. I make my calls to my reps.
I get so upset. But I call. I start my day worked up about this regime. I struggle to hang on to my peace.
But I do it. Because we cannot go silent. We cannot silently stand by while fascism and authoritarianism win.
Don’t give up.

Doesn’t matter what anyone sent to the El Salvadoran gulag has allegedly done.
THERE WAS NO DUE PROCESS.
Without due process, there is no law.
It’s how they’re trying to normalize the disappearing of human beings - demonize them and dehumanize them.
If they get away with it, who is next?

The budget passed by Republicans contains requirements to track women’s zip code, blood type, menstrual cycles, etc with regards to abortion care. Why is this in a BUDGET BILL? Take a look starting on pg 2488.

Do you want a world where the government can disappear people?
Where your thoughts are policed?
Do you want a world without National Parks? Forests? Public spaces?
Will you quietly watch it all burn?
