People will die because of the all-out Republican assault on healthcare in America.

Please @govgavinnewsom.bsky.social @massgovernor.bsky.social how are you allowing these unidentified, often masked men to kidnap residents off your streets? What is your red line? Do you have one? What happens when it’s a US citizen? Their life is more valuable?
A man pulled up to a gas station to fill up his truck. ICE agents surrounded him and took him away. But his children were left behind.
“They arrested someone,” witness said. “They left the children inside the truck.”

Is @massgovernor.bsky.social ok with her state’s residents being treated like this. Having been a supporter, I am so disappointed in her lack of strong pushback.
these agents and everyone up the chain of command need to be investigated and prosecuted
THIS IS NOT NORMAL

Good luck to all the folks who vacation on Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard or Nantucket. Elections have consequences…for your service levels.
There are going to be, I believe, a cascade of economic issues this summer related to the tourist industry. Fewer people will come here to travel. Fewer people will come here to work within the industry.
a friend flying home to the US from Heathrow texts from the runway: “I don’t think I’ve been on such an empty flight since October 2001. I wonder if people are reluctant to come to America now. It’s literally 5% full. If that."

This man is such a buffoon that if Dems can’t stand up and fight now, they don’t deserve to win.
President Trump said on Thursday that he would allow both Mexico and Canada to avoid tariffs on most exports to the U.S. for one month, saying he would exempt products that are traded under the rules of the North American trade pact he signed in his first term.
Trump Suspends Mexico and Canada Tariffs on USMCA Goods for a Month
Goods trading under the rules of the North American trade pact, or most products, would be exempt from tariffs, the president said. The levies have caused stock markets to sink.

Without going all Martin Niemöller here, I do think that it's bad not to speak up for immigrants, transgender Americans, civil servants, women, Ukraine, and everyone else the MAGA bullies are going after. We're beyond picking and choosing whom to defend. It's time to stand up and speak out.
