Democrats like Jeffries spent the entire election calling Trump a fascist threat to democracy and now they can’t figure out why people expect aggressive opposition

ALL of the Republicans are standing up and cheering for DOGE, Elon Musk, and Trump’s “policies.”

Remember that when you’re unemployed and can’t afford your basic necessities because of Trump’s tariffs.

I’m so sick of the fuck around and find out language because it’s not actually aimed at people who voted for Trump. It’s just aimed at anybody who fits whatever stupid stereotype that person has. Clearly being decent is not a good enough argument. But like do y’all wanna win ever again?

Just so happens that the CFPB, which Trump is trying to kill, recently announced new regulations for the crypto industry.

It’s not that the “resistance is dead.” It’s that many of us learned what works most effectively. Upward grassroots pressure works. But it has to come with the understanding that we are *all* in this together, and what hurts one hurts all.

This is happening in every agency. Not only is there a hiring freeze, but those who received offers are now having those offers rescinded. Countless are now scrambling to figure out how to make ends meet because the rug was pulled out from under them.
I just got a report that the Minneapolis VA has stopped hiring workers thanks to a hasty Trump Executive Order.

They’ve rescinded offers to dozens of people who were going to fill critical roles to care for vets.
