He bombs hospitals, murders children, tortures prisoners, kills journalists, steals land—& US Govt voted NO on a UN resolution condemning these war crimes by Netanyahu.
Oh, & the Trump regime also voted NO on a UN resolution condemning these same war crimes by Putin.
So much for rules based order.

Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency.
It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.”

Don’t lose hope. Remember, Watergate took over two years to fully unravel from the initial break-in to Nixon’s resignation. Just like then and now, Americans are losing faith in their government. @altnps are documenting every illegal action & will hold this administration and Elon Musk accountable.

This app makes things so easy. The app suggests a script and I usually don’t use it but like to refer to it for talking points. And if you give your location, it finds the phone numbers. Call every day. Our representatives need to hear from us.

This poem by Amanda Gorman was written in response to the fires in LA. The emotions are universal and relevant to where our country is today.
Amanda is a force of nature and a voice we should listen to.

We are about to enter an era of extreme and dangerous culture war in the United States. How do we protect our communities and work toward a cultural ceasefire? In this piece I wrote a couple months ago, I offer one possible path. wapo.st/40q1BDn
Opinion | Libraries can help end the culture wars. That’s why they’re under fire.
Nothing threatens authoritarianism like a free, quiet place to absorb a full range of information.

Don't know who said it first but it bears repeating—if you really don't think what Musk repeatedly did was a Nazi salute, please record yourself doing that exact thing and post it across all social media, and make sure your employer sees it.
Oh...is that awkward gesture too much now? Interesting.

Like the Ents at Isengard, when the Hobbits return to the Shire and find the Party Tree hewn to the ground, they track down who's responsible - and put a stop to it.
