We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.

11,000 people showed up.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

Ce que montrent ces deux images c'est que la césure politique se situe surtout entre les hommes et les femmes pris dans leur ensemble, les premiers étant beaucoup plus susceptibles d'apprécier Trump et ses politiques. Son néofascisme est un masculinisme.

Donald Trump has reportedly spent $18 million worth of taxpayer money to play golf since his inauguration.

This is happening as he slashes the federal workforce, guts funding for vital programs, and tees up major cuts to Medicaid to pay for more tax cuts for the rich.

Clearest proof yet that the Trump admin uses "DEI" to mean "nonwhite people doing something impressive and getting credit."

Everything Musk oversees stays together for a while, but falls apart over time: Cybertrucks, SpaceX rockets, Twitter... It's only a matter of time before we see a rapid unscheduled disassembly of the Trump regime. We just have to keep pulling back the facade until it falls apart, too.

The 1807 Insurrection Act limits presidential powers to 14 days before specific congressional approval is required. If days are not days, that time frame never kicks in, so he can do whatever he wants. He stacked the judicial branch & this muzzles the legislative branch, leaving him a dictator.

So, if I understand correctly, this means If/When tRump declares a national emergency (truly allowing him to do what’re the f**k he wants), there will be no time period stated or allowed - essentially NO END DATE. If this is TRUE, then this IS the final call on the COUP. RIP USA.

The House just voted that “each day for the remainder of the 119th Congress shall not constitute a calendar day for purposes of section 202 of the National Emergencies Act.” A day is not a day. Lewis Carroll, George Orwell, and Franz Kafka must all be chuckling — or weeping.

Shady AF!

Republicans could’ve stopped Trump’s disastrous trade policy & save the economy, but they protected him instead.

Trump declared a “economic emergency” to push reckless tariffs. Dems tried to force a vote to end it, so the GOP pulled a stunt to block it: declaring Congress one long day.
