This lack of solidarity is what people will remember about the Dems.

They could have all been Al Green, but instead they let him stand alone and be made an example by this regime.

Is it so important to honor the office when the holder is a self-declared dictator?

And not one Democrat had his back. NOT ONE OF THEM.

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath.

I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

So proud of our Democratic members of Congress, right now! They’re being blocked from the Dept. of Education—and they’re not having it.

Seeing Auntie Maxine ready to fight for our kids warms my soul. She hasn’t changed. Waters isn’t my congresswoman, but we love her in this house!

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

ALEXANDER: The implication that this policy is new or that it stems from efforts that began under Biden is demonstrably false.

TRUMP: Who said that, you?

The Senate confirmed him unanimously in 2023.

No acting FAA head has been appointed.

Trump's freezing of all civil rights cases at the DOJ is not part of an anti-DEI agenda, but an anti-civil rights agenda. DOJ was *founded* to protect Black rights during Reconstruction. That this difference is unclear speaks to the success of conservative propagandists and the failures of liberals.
