Buttigieg on Indiana: "The big part of how Trumpism works is to make you feel totally disempowered. To make him feel inevitable. And yet the clear takeaway from this is he is not unstoppable and you are not without power."

So glad I’m not on Facebook or Instagram.
Meta has removed or restricted dozens of accounts belonging to abortion access providers, queer groups and reproductive health organisations in the past weeks in what Repro Uncensored call one of the “biggest waves of censorship” on its platforms in years.
Meta shuts down global accounts linked to abortion advice and queer content
More than 50 organisations report sites being restricted or removed, with abortion hotlines blocked and posts showing non-explicit nudity triggering warnings

It was never about stopping illegal immigration. It was about stopping ALL immigration. Period. And that’s what they’ve done. Despicable.👇

The US is no longer the US. It's "Trump's MAGA US." It represents the opposite of what it has traditionally stood for.
The US voted with Russia, China and N. Korea against most of the civilized world. This is where we are at.

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

I don’t know how else to say it…

Their closing message to Indiana: change your maps to artificially benefit the President's political party or 'roads will not be paved' as punishment.

They are openly saying this.

Who would want to live in a country that works like that?

Does Trump want a war with Venezuela for its oil? Or, is he looking back at history and knows a president’s polling goes up in war time? Or, will a war allow him to cancel elections? All I know is he knows why he’s doing this & not divulging his plan ‘cos it is un-American if not downright evil.
