Musk fired the entire team responsible for managing the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), which supports approximately 6.2 million people across the U.S.—from Maine to Texas—in paying their heating and cooling bills.

Good morning, friends. The mass firings at CDC and health depts are a blow to public health—and democracy itself.

Those still holding the line: Your work has never been more vital.

This regime attacks us because they fear our strength.

The people united will never be defeated.

one thing that Booker repeatedly references is the fact that US citizens are now terrified of their president. he keeps reading the letters of constituents who are really scared of the people in power—especially of losing their benefits, but there's something deeper and commonly felt.

This is our moral moment.

Does the constitution exist only on paper or does it live in our hearts?

People have the power. Make your voice heard. Act up. Speak up. #resist
After getting some rest, I am in awe of everyone who continues to lift their voice and speak out. This is a moment for our country, and we must make a choice about the America we want to be.

Back in the day when I was security at an upscale hotel with two clubs renowned for fights and sexual assault, I carried pink Peerless handcuffs to detain bro dudes. I wish a judge would deputize a woman to arrest those in contempt of court and give them the same pink handcuffs. #ICanDream

Denmark was one of the original 12 nations that signed the North Atlantic Treaty in 1949, establishing NATO.
Article 5 is a key provision of the NATO treaty, defining the collective defense principle.
An attack against any NATO member is considered an attack against them all. Allies will stand up.
JD Vance, "Denmark is not being a good ally"

"If we need to take Greenland that is what President Trump will do because he doesn't care about what Europeans scream at us"

The DOJ isn't going to enforce Federal Law.

The Governor of Wisconsin MUST issue an Executive Order making it illegal in the state to pay anyone to sign any petition! The State AG can enforce that without needing DOJ!
How is this okay?

Don’t let them scare you.

Don’t let them get you to give up hope.

This is what they want more than anything.

Their evil is never more alive than when we sleep.

The whole point is not just the state disappearing whoever they want, it's you being in the habit of accepting the state choosing whom to disappear, without question. It's submission to the state. Same as with Gitmo after 9/11. The state's judgment must not be questioned.

What do you call humans being kidnapped and sent to another country to be imprisoned in shackles and forced to perform intense physical labor while living in horrid conditions under the threat of daily physical violence and rape?

Open a history book. You can do it. I believe in you.

Fascist Dictator. There are no two ways about it.

Even our pretend US democracy is gone. As are checks and balances. As is the Republic.
