Trump and Netanyahu are both criminals.

Now, together, they are going to destroy the world.

They are a danger to humankind.

We are in deep trouble because of them now working so closely together and they both must be stopped.

WIth how insane everything has been getting over the past few months, I'm reminded of the words of two famous men in our government over the years.

John Lewis - who wanted us to get into some "Good trouble, useful trouble!", and to "Speak up, speak out, get in the way!".

And (continued)

We knew that the government wouldn't stop at transgender people (and for my trans friends and family, I still continue to speak in your defense). Who are they going to come for next after they're done with everyone in the LGBTQ+ umbrella? Religious minorities? Michiganders - call your reps!

This is getting really disgusting. They're saying the quiet parts out loud and the constitution is supposed to prevent a monarchy from happening in the US.

Ho-lee FUCK! I know there are some limitations to this, like oversight agencies, where law applies to executive orders, and the like, but each day we get one step closer to a real dictatorship. The headline was later changed. Here's the article. www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/fe...

Here it is in a nutshell:

1. Trump is an authoritarian.
2. With the GOP controlling Congress, courts are key to protecting democracy.
3. So far, courts are doing a good job on #2.
4. GOP will next attack election rules like they did in 2021.

Don't let the cynics convince you not to fight. FIGHT!

while phone and letters are still the preferred way to reach congress, if you're uninclined to pick up the phone, there's still this.
Here's an easy way to contact your Congressperson and Senators about securing our data Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. Text Resistbot 50409: ⬇️

Looks like The SAVE act isn’t just anti-trans, it’s anti-woman. How many women actually have an amended birth certificate with their married name? www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...
The SAVE Act Would Disenfranchise Millions of Citizens
The SAVE Act would require all Americans to prove their citizenship with documentation unavailable to millions and upend the way every American citizen registers to vote.

House Bill H.R. 722 will make abortion illegal nationally. Harris voters warned this would happen. We said Trump and the GOP lying about it being a state matter.Now, millions of women will be in danger. Trump and the GOP can NEVER be trusted. I wish you would have listened.
