This is what’s on CNN right now, an hour after Republicans passed a bill stripping healthcare from 17 million Americans, gutting food assistance to the tune of $300 billion, and exploding the deficit by $4 trillion.

It's now been over a month since Trump sent innocent man Andry Hernández to one of the world's worst prisons because of "Mom" and "Dad" tattoos. Like the others, he is being imprisoned with no contact with the outside world.

Don't let him be forgotten.

“[W]e’re also seeing…the favoring not of Christians per se, but of a CERTAiN KIND of Christianity. Trump & his people are aiming not to just work w/ the movement, but to shape the movement itself, to make it more faux-populist, demagogic & frankly authoritarian.” - @katherinestewart.bsky.social 1/

The cowardice of institutions has always been staggering, but since January 20 American institutions have folded near-instantaneously.

The word “disgraceful” in no way encapsulates the depth and scope of the cravenness of our institutions.

If we are to save this country, it will be as individuals.

For those of you who watched the video of an Idaho woman experiencing handmaid‘s tale treatment, now is the time to decide what you would do in that situation—whether it's you or whether you're nearby when this happens to someone else. We are in a moment where we all have to decide who we are.

He’ll claim he didn’t know about things at the USDS he actually did know about, and conversely he’ll claim to have notified the White House Office of things he never did.

Musk wouldn’t have taken questions in the Oval Office and looked like a cornered criminal if the pressure and attention wasn’t building.

Don’t stop highlighting that the richest man in the world is taking over government. Keep talking. Paper your city if you have to. Do not give in.
