She/Her Desperately hoping we can save the US from falling even further into authoritarianism and install a new and improved Democracy so I can get back to squeeing over WangXian, YiZhan, HuaLian, BTS, K-pop, K and C dramas.

Hmmm.

Reminds me of the massive corporations raking in BILLIONS that “can’t afford” to pay us a living wage. 🤔

We warned this exact thing would happen. This is why dozens of human rights groups have been calling to BanFacialrecognition.com for years

This is relevant again today. The directive just went out. Keep in mind, it’s illegal for the president to use the military as police without invoking the insurrection act.

That’s interesting. Last time I heard the phrase “Quick Reaction Force” was during the January 6 investigations when the Oath Keepers stashed an arsenal at a Virginia hotel. Gift link: wapo.st/46UGmic

Neguse: "Does anyone here not believe that with one phone call from Speaker Johnson -- one phone call to the president or the secretary of ag -- that those funds would be released tomorrow? And that families wouldn't go starving by the weekend?"

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

I am cancelling my subscription until Spotify stops airing ICE ads. I will not spend my hard earned money to support our current government's fascist propaganda. ICE hurts people/families/communities. Hurting people should never be something to earn money off of.

• Kristi Noem bought two Gulfstream luxury jets for her travel to photo opps

• FBI's Kash Patel is using its Gulfstream g550 for dates

WE FOUND THE WASTE, FRAUD, AND ABUSE:

FBI Director Kash Patel used a $60 million government jet for a booty call during the shutdown.

Not the first time. In April, he made multiple trips to Nashville to see his 26-year-old country-singer girlfriend and even flew her around to hockey games.

The US president said he has ordered the defence department to resume testing nuclear weapons ‘on an equal basis’ with Russia and China. It was not immediately clear what type of test he was referring to on.ft.com/47MxQl3
