They don't want to do anything to protect children from school shootings so they have more reasons to justify the elimination of public education.

They only want the wealthy to be educated.

It’s time for Congress to reign in the Mad King. These tariffs haven’t even hit for real and the world is off the rails.

Politically, it’s helpful to Dems, but this is why I’m not a good politician b/c I care too deeply about the harm on all people, even on those that hate my very existence.

Please repost this far and wide. Canadians stand with us in solidarity too!
ICYMI: From March 23rd, protestors from both sides of the US and Canada border held a protest against the Trump regime.

This is what the US oligarch media isn't showing you. The protests grow bigger every month.

The media showed every Trump rally but won’t show a single Bernie Sanders rally. Now that we control the biggest independent news network in America we will flip the script and show every Bernie Sanders rally, like the last one on Sunday in Altoona, Wisconsin youtu.be/2StnaGCQPCI?...

So in case you missed it.

ICE arrested a student activist, realized he’s not on a visa but on a green card, took him anyway, then the Secretary of State announced they'd also be deporting green card holders.

Trump is disappearing people who disagree with him.

Trump just withdrew the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement.

The US now joins Iran, Libya, and Yemen as the only countries in the world not in the agreement.

Today is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and the presidential inauguration.

What a contrast in character, service, and self-sacrifice that will be on display today.

One person gave his life fighting racism while the other uses racism as fuel for his political movement.

Trump and his MAGA lackeys in Congress are trying to whitewash their constitutional betrayal on January 6th, 2021. We are here to make sure the history books have it right. Today’s Republicans will be listed among Benedict Arnold and John Walker Jr as traitors to our nation.

Don't allow Mitch McConnell to whitewash his entire career of being a horrible person. He's one of the primary reasons democracy is on its deathbed.

He's doing what tons of Republicans do at the end of their career: switching to try and be a decent person after decades spent destroying our country.

Democrats: Lol Republicans are so out of touch to nominate 17 old white guys to lead their House committees.

Also Democrats: We're voting down an incredibly popular young Latina Representative & instead nominating an old white guy most voters under 55 have never heard of to lead our top committee.

I am asking my party and my Democratic colleagues to remember rural people not just because it is fair, but because it is politically wise. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

MAGA:

Pete Hegseth’s history of sexual abuse and excessive drinking merely displays youthful indiscretions which certainly doesn’t disqualify him from being SecDef
