Trump has entered into a new and wilder stage of authoritarian neofascism. No holds barred. Nothing out of bounds.
But tyrants cannot succeed where people refuse to submit to them.
And we must not submit.

Trump is wrongfully using the Vacancy Act to extend the term of Interim U.S. Attorney for New Mexico Ryan Ellison, while simultaneously seeking his Senate confirmation–a deliberate attempt to circumvent a Senate- or District Court-vetted appointment.

The White House's memes about imprisonment, deportation, and death by alligator are designed to radicalize and desensitize.

Our health care system is close to collapse.
Not enough doctors, nurses or dentists.

Trump’s legislation will cause hospitals, nursing homes & community health centers to cut back services.
We need a simple, universal system: Medicare for All.
