senwarren with blue checkmark Donald Trump is deploying the military to our cities and using our servicemembers as political pawns. Americans aren’t asking for this. This is about one thing:Trump’s agenda of fear a d chaos. Trump’s authorized power grab must stop.

Facebook post from Really American As long as we are cutting healthcare for everyday Americans, let’s remove the lifetime of free healthcare for members of Congress. Time for them to live in the system they’ve created for us.

It will always baffle me how easily people will believe that the poor, the sick, the marginalized, and the immigrant are the cause of their problems, rather than the people in the most powerful positions in our country who refuse to fix problems and exploit them instead.

Post from Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse “Healthcare for illegal aliens” is the new “immigrants are eating cats and dogs in Springfield .” The Republican playbook s simple make up a baseless lie, repeat it every chance you get, hope and pray that everyone blames Democrats for the crisis you creates.

Instagram post by georgetakei (blue checkmark) Kamala Harris warned us that Trump would turn the military against civilians. She warned us that he would pursue Project 2025. The media mocked her, but she was dead right about both.

Reddit post by Pete Wharmby (Hiatus) @commaaficionado Why did we bother educating everyone for the last 75 years about nazism and fascism if the next time it appears so many of us look it squarely in the face and decide it can’t possibly be what it obviously is.
