Trump attacked the Smithsonian for depicting "how bad slavery was."

Meanwhile, he's pushing schools to partner with PragerU, which tells children the evils of slavery are exaggerated.

I've been sounding the alarm on them for years.

there are so many open layups and somehow dems can’t make them. republicans are literally pulling cancer treatment from children and they can’t message on that??? like what the fuck are we doing here
A video arguing that women shouldn’t be able to vote was just shared by Trump’s Secretary of Defense, the guy in charge of our whole military.

And Democratic Party leaders still can’t stand up to this administration?! Our rights are on the line and all our party leaders offer us is silence.

Corporations, law firms, schools, and more continue to “bend the knee” to Trump for all kinds of false claims. Each concession to his fraudulent demands further erodes democracy.

May the Democrat Party learn to listen to the people and not the establishment and wealthy. The people want a party with @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social and @sanders.senate.gov beliefs leading the party.
"Who’s afraid of Zohran Mamdani? The answer, it would seem, is the entire establishment," writes Guardian columnist Arwa Mahdawi.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

It’s not just that the oligarchs don’t want to pay their fair share of taxes.

Many of them literally do not believe in the concept of government.

They are rich and powerful and have the “divine right” to do anything they want.
