We’re building a #PeoplesMovement.
Today, over 3 million people across the country stood up to say HANDS OFF our democracy.
And history shows that when just 3.5% of the population engages in sustained, peaceful resistance—transformative change is inevitable.

Although I knew it was likely like this, I’m still shocked reading it.
Must read, in order to know the depths of fascism we are only beginning to experience. And the treatment that those who dissent will likely be subjected to sooner rather than later.

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

America isn't 36 trillion in debt because of Social Security and Medicare.
It's because corrupt billionaires aren't paying their fair fucking share.

The GOP's tax cuts for their billionaire donors ballooned the deficit, so they're blaming the problem on Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid — demanding cuts to programs that millions of Americans rely on. It's socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.

DOGE's unrestricted access to Treasury systems is incredibly dangerous, and this emergency order halting their access proves it.

When I think of Elon Musk hacking into hundreds of millions of tax files and Social Security records I am reminded of the case of Aaron Swartz. He face five years in prison because he hacked into M.I.T's computer system.

We won’t stop until Trump’s order is blocked once and for all. Take action now:
Tell Congress: Don't defund our communities
President Trump’s decision to block trillions in federal funding to critical services already approved by Congress is a reckless, cruel, unprecedented power grab that will impact every one of us.

Let's be clear: the Medicaid portal went offline because of Donald Trump's orders.
The only reason it is back on is due to outrage from the American people.
Now, they are trying to lie about it.
Medicaid was never taken away from Americans under President Biden.

If you want further proof that American journalism is dead, the Hollywood Reporter showed more moral clarity in their coverage of Elon Musk’s Nazi salute than the Washington Post, NY Times, LA Times, WSJ, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS or NBC. Cowards all.

Best thing our allies can remember: if you stand up to Trump you intimidate him and he will back down. If you crawl to him (like his sycophantic politicians) he will not respect you and will eventually throw you under the bus.

I’d recommend everyone regardless of medical risk bring a mask on your airplane journey, a disinfectant wipe to clean the seat you’re in and hand sanitizer.
