What the F is Happening?
The Big-Picture Overview and The Reinforcing Mechanisms Shaping America Today
open.substack.com
I wrote a calm breakdown of what is happening in America today. It has been a long, slow process that is finally coming to the surface. Every system is now reinforcing one another to advance autocracy for their own interests.

Across the country, we've met people who were able to succeed using programs and services that Congress is trying to cut. In Michigan, we spoke with Mount Clemens City Commissioner Spencer Calhoun on the importance of investing in people when they are in need, so they can thrive and serve later on 👇

We're in Warren, Michigan, talking to community leaders and organizers who were able to succeed because we invested in them in their hardest moments through SNAP and Medicaid. People across the country are saying “NO TO THE BILLIONAIRE GIVEAWAY”

A million Michigan children need Medicaid for healthcare & school services.
Seven GOP Congressional Reps profess pro-life, pro-child views.
Seems like a match, right? Then why are Bergman, Moolenaar, Huizenga, Walberg, Barrett, McClain, & James voting to let these kids suffer? 😡

The way we were treated at Delaney Hall is almost unbelievable. ICE shoved me, manhandled @repbonnie.bsky.social, and arrested Mayor Baraka.
They disrespected us and tried to stop us from conducting the oversight we’re elected to do. But we’ll never back down in our fight for what is right.

Republicans haven’t been listening to their constituents.
So I’m taking the mic to share stories like Mary’s, a nurse from Lisa McClain's district who says that gutting Medicaid will be devastating for her and her autistic son.
We must stop this cruel reconciliation bill before it's too late.

His policies have directly harmed members of our community, from FDA and auto workers to immigrant families and people with disabilities. We are protesting to send a clear message: his presence is not welcome, his agenda has no place here, and there is nothing worth celebrating.

Macomb Defenders Rising unequivocally rejects Donald Trump’s visit to Macomb County. His first 100 days have been a showcase of chaos, cruelty, and constitutional disregard, driven by an incompetent and dangerous administration. 🧵

Donald Trump ordered the Department of Justice to investigate the leading platform through which Democrats raise money for their campaigns. Less that 100 days in, Trump is weaponizing DOJ to prevent his political opponents from funding opposition campaigns.

This is who Republicans like John James are dodging when they skip town halls and support Trump's agenda.

3/4. If we accept the idea that moving a person from one place to another undoes rights and disempowers the judiciary, we are endorsing the basic Nazism practice that enabled the killing of millions.

I had been doubtful that we were going to have a "this is the crisis moment" with Trump, as opposed to "everything about this is a destructive catastrophe."
But the Abrego Garcia case is the crisis moment.
