Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy.
Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media.
That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, and the arts – to prevent us from learning.

very important and I've been hearing the same
I have been hearing from people that they have been having issues accessing their Social Security accounts. INSTEAD of going to a branch which may be hundreds or 1Ks+ of miles away from you, call your members of Congress. They have constituent services that will help you regain access. Please share!

The Trump regime will round you up off the street and arrest you because you spoke your mind.
And federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars who refuse to identify themselves will be the ones to do it.
It's fascism.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

There was a reason they attacked DEI first. It's because white christian male supremacist views are core to their movement. Dems should, contrary to the advice of some reflexive compromisers among us, respond by picking up the fallen banner of equality & opportunity. We should proudly champion it.
