TODAY WE MOBILIZED OVER 3 MILLION PEOPLE ACROSS THE NATION!!!
This movement has entered the next chapter: the people will mobilize again, and again, until we make a difference.
It only takes 3.5% of the population in a sustained resistance in order to make a difference.

DOGE cut off payments for the electricity, cell phone, and internet service of U.S. government employees who work in a high-risk area in Central America.
Meanwhile, DOGE apparently plans to spend $25,000 to install a washer and dryer for their own personal use in a federal office building in DC.

So we have a convicted felon going into the White House. We have a talking head with an alleged substance abuse problem tapped for head of the military. We have a dog and goat killing sycophant being vetted for the head of DHS (if we're ever invaded by farm animals, we should be fine).

Right now, in America, 22 million workers make less than $15/hr. 40 million make less than $17/hr.
Shamefully, the federal minimum wage hasn't been raised since 2009 and remains at $7.25/hr.
I asked Trump's nominee for Treasury if we should raise it.
His response?
"No sir."
