Congrats to E. Jean Carroll! If an 81-year-old woman is not afraid of Trump, why should any of us be? ❤️

How much untold pain and disgrace could have been avoided had a handful of GOP Senators had the guts to convict after the second impeachment?
They utterly failed the test of history.

One problem with the idea of reserving due process for law-abiding people is that due process is how we figure out which people are law-abiding.

I'm lector on Sunday and I get to say,
"Go and say to the people,
'Keep listening but do not comprehend,
keep looking but do not understand,'
Make the mind of this people dull,
and stop their ears,
and shut their eyes..." from Isaiah 6
I honestly love this message.
Don't block me. 🕯

Staffer in my brand new congress member’s office told me that Musk is a special employee of the President with a top
Security clearance, has “read only” access to files searching for wasteful spending. Also said Trump has broad discretion on how agency funds are spent, and shutdown of USAID.

The entire planet needs to galvanize against the Musk/Trump coup in the U.S. for one crucial reason: these madmen now have access to the planet’s largest store of nuclear weapons.

If you’re under the impression that there’s no resistance to Trump, it’s because corporate media aren’t showing you pictures like this.

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.

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out.
This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

Move Fast and Break the Government
A blizzard of regulations; a power grab over federal funds; and the hollowing out of our nation’s public workforce. It’s just week two.

(1,14) Getting real now. For those who voted for the current occupant of the White House, I find it hard to believe you voted for this. Just suck it up and admit you were lied to and make it clear to the enablers in Congress that you do not want this, and you expect them to do their jobs.
