This is the playbook, folks.
If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.
Do not be quiet in this moment.

The next few months need to resemble the 2017 fight to save the ACA. In the end, we won. Call Congressmembers, confront them at town halls, offices, airports & fundraisers. Hold events so Congressmembers look really bad for being afraid of constituents.

Padilla’s manhandling and handcuffing is designed for optics, as always. It’s also a good barometer for just how comfy this regime and their goons have become in their fascistic ways.

it isn’t and they know it which is why 1) they are rushing to do 4+ years worth of harm before the midterms, fully expecting to lose Congress but just hoping the damage is irreversible by then; 2) they are doing mostly small-scale symbolic horrors to intimidate the public, due to limited capacity
we are still under the six month mark for a couple weeks and it is incredibly difficult to see how this is sustainable for 3.5 more years

WTH, people?! Was this a campaign issue you demanded be “fixed” like this?
Last year, credit unions were finally made to disclose the billions they made by charging their members unnecessary junk fees.
Now? Well… Trump’s hiding their grift once again.
