Trump’s shutdown layoffs are targeting programs that serve the most vulnerable: students with disabilities, homeless families, and seniors. The admin is slashing the very services that keep people alive, calling it “efficiency,” but this was always the plan from the beginning.

One thing that’s surprised me is even the fascists seem embarrassed about openly attacking people in inflatable costumes and I thought they were fully incapable of shame

The people behind the inflated protests are performing a monumental service to democracy & peace in the US. The Regime wants riots, but these animal characters are not only an effective protest, grabbing attention & mocking ICE, they seem to reduce the risk of violent protests. It's perfect.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

Millions came out for the last #NoKings protests.

These will be even bigger.

They want to scare people into not showing up.

Show up. Exercise your Constitutional rights. Be in community with all those who believe in democracy.

Does everyone realize this entire charade could come to an end if Rep. Adelita Grijalva is sworn in? The Epstein files would be released and we could have our country back.

The CEO of GoFundMe just said the economy is so bad that more of his customers are crowdfunding on the platform just to afford groceries. Yet another terrifying recession indicator—another massive, red, blinking light for Trump and the Republicans to ignore.

Billionaire tax cuts are a policy choice.

Cutting healthcare for millions is a policy choice.

Cutting food assistance for children is a policy choice.

Taking from the poor and giving to the rich is a policy choice.

Make no mistake: Trump and the GOP just chose to do this.

It's the rope-a-dope, open the government then Trump does a "recession" package gutting healthcare, CDC, HHS, Medicaid, Medicare, and foreign aid, Democrats can't be that naive to fall for it, Trump cannot be trusted!
