We asked DOGE Caucus Republicans to keep Donald Trump's campaign promise: No cuts to Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid.
They refused, saying that "there will be some cuts" and "everything is on the table."
And Marjorie Taylor Greene tossed Trump's campaign flyers in the air.

We made this ad last year to give people a grim preview of Trump's second term.

With Trump signing executive orders that violate the Constitution and violate the law, and with him pardoning the January 6 defendants who attacked and injured police officers & committed countless other crimes at the U.S. Capitol, welcome to the age of governmental lawlessness in America.

I've avoided social media since the election and my mental health has never been better.
Now that the felon is in office, I feel the need to pay attention again to how bad things will get. 😞

Republicans want to tell you what books you can read, what bathroom you can use, what words you can say, what history you can learn, what you can or can’t do with your own body and what gender you are… but tell me more about how the Dems are “coming for your freedoms”.

Trump and his annointed have made it clear that they plan on declaring a State of Emergency, giving him full Presidential Powers when he’s sworn in. Remember when he said “I’ll be dictator on day 1” —

There are no democratic norms or laws anymore, the idea that Trump can’t do something is for the birds. He’ll strip them of citizenship & won’t give a hoot what happens to them.
Then the cops will start shooting them on sight in the street (with 50% of the population cheering)

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens.
Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”

Seriously, my mood has shifted now that I spend more time at BlueSky and much less time there. It’s kind of shocking how much. I never realized how miserable that place made me, which absolutely carried into real world issues. Never again will I do that.
