Trump promised to bring down prices.
Yet inflation is on the rise — especially at the grocery store.
Trump promised no more foreign entanglements.
Yet his regime is unilaterally launching airstrikes on boats in the Caribbean.
Promises made, promises broken.

Recently I learned that civil servants have the First Amendment-protected right to speak out on matters of public concern.
Thurgood Marshall, in an 8-1 SCOTUS decision, noted that government employees know how the gov’t works, and the public has a special interest in hearing from them.

In 1935 German leadership called a surprise meeting and informed their previous oath to uphold the Weimar constitution was now void and they instead must swear a personal oath to the Führer. Many claimed they didn’t like the order, but they did it anyway.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.
It doesn't have to be this way.

History teaches us that the way to stand up to a dictator is to fight back against him, not capitulate to him.
Surrendering to tyranny invites more of it.
This moment we're in should not be met with a "moderate" response.
Luckily, some Democrats starting to understand this.

Remember: The fundamental issue isn’t the size of the government or how to make government more “efficient.”
It’s who our government is for.
Should it work mainly for big corporations and billionaires, including the richest person in the world — or for the rest of us?

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

Disconnect now!
This is real (at least in the US). It's not one of those stupid things where you put an idiotic statement on your FB page declaring something illegal. I just checked it on FB settings and it had a list of every website I visited recently. Fucking weird. The future kind of sucks.
UM, I had NO idea facebook was tracking everything I did on the internet. EVERYTHING. I have diligently blocked and followed all ways to try to stop this messed up social media from taking from me, but this is the final straw… THESE JERKS! AGH! [screenshots on how to do it in the comments]
