Don't tune out completely. America needs you & your voice. Take care of your mental health. Hang out with people who support you. Love one another. But we still need to be dissenting voices when our nation is being attacked from within, and preserve what we can. Tomorrow is another day. ❤️🗽

Everything Trump does is to enrich himself & his cronies (or people who bribe him with millions for his vanity and/or access). No one else matters as long as evil businessmen are in play. Corruption at its highest level. Destroying a country. Sick. heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/november-2...

What's your strategy for dinner with MAGA family for #Thanksgiving?
Will you let them blather on while you say nothing, NOTHING TO DEFEND DEMOCRACY?
Fk No!
This is your chance to ask, "What about the high prices, the military in our cities, the #ICELawlessness where they're brutalizing citizens?"

Make a difference by boycotting 3 companies over Thanksgiving holiday, including Black Friday & Cyber Monday. Show you're against dismantling DEI programs; monopolies, dangerous working conditions, donations to Trump; & working with ICE.

![WE AIN'T BUYING IT Target Companies
This action is taking direct aim at Target, for caving to this administration's biased attacks on DEI; Home Depot, for allowing and colluding with ICE to kidnap our neighbors on their properties; and Amazon, for funding this administration to secure their own corporate tax cuts.
[images of Target, Amazon, & Home Depot logos with big X through them]
TARGET has rolled back their DEI initiatives, which included ending programs that help Black employees advance, cutting financial supported for Black-Owned businesses, and removing LGBTQ+ products from their stores.
AMAZON holds a monopolistic position in the market, contributes to dangerous working conditions for its employees and drivers, and CEO Jeff Bezos has donated over $1 million to this administration.
HOME DEPOT is allowing ICE agents to illegally detain and kidnap laborers from their stores. The laborers in our communities are not able to look for work safely.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:riuyzxxcpsqrxz4q4w2jlomy/bafkreifaveizqxoctmw6eywgugykpcp2rhwv7l3z3ntlafqaajqervnpva@jpeg)

Marjorie Taylor Greene can't handle Trump the fire-breathing dragon when Democrats put up with his hate on a daily basis. MTG likes the limelight, so she won't disappear.
Here's hoping her replacement will be different.

Trump regime is self-serving; doesn't care for others. Shutting down USAID is a tragedy of epic proportions & a sad statement about our current government leaders.

Happy Birthday to Joe Biden! For 50+ years, he worked hard for the people he served. I chose this picture because he fought for good, with integrity and knowledge of how the government works. He'd be the first to tell you he wasn't perfect. But he always tried! For the People. 🎉❤️⭐

Curiously (or not really), the 7 Dem senators who voted w/GOP on shutdown all had funding from airlines. So did those airlines also pay for ugly golden ballroom or other Trump atrocity?
The Trump admin is killing a Biden-era proposal that would have required airlines to pay passengers up to $775 in cashfor significant travel disruptions within carriers' control.

With #MeToo movement, millions of survivors shared their experiences of sexual abuse, sexual harassment, & rape. A small but ugly backlash followed, pushing #tradwife & anti- #VotingRights for women. Now we must raise our voices loudly to hold accountable the criminals revealed in the #EpsteinFiles.

Last night I unfriended Trump supporters on Facebook. Some of them were ex-relatives. One voted 3x for Trump bc he supported the military. Really? And as a businessman he would drain the swamp. How'd that work? Another complained Obama & Biden didn't "fix" ACA healthcare. Trump will fix it!
