We must remember this as part of our resistance.

Trump is the master of Chaos and when he throws everything at the wall people tune out bc it’s becomes so normal. We must pick our battles, organize and protest.

It’s no longer Dem vs Rep or left versus right.

It’s now democracy vs dictatorship. Right vs wrong.

It’s no longer a war on undocumented immigrants. It’s now a war on Americans.

It’s no longer a foreign enemy. It’s now the “enemy within.”https://www.alternet.org/trump-sleeping-giant-2674176958/

I know Mike Johnson says there is nothing for the House to do but there is.

You see by law a budget was supposed to be in place by Sept 30th, but Rs haven’t passed one. The reason? There isn’t a GOP budget. They haven’t even started working on one. This is what the House should be doing FFS!

Mamdani: I run against a disgraced former governor who, in this moment, has chosen to issue a statement in which he cannot even say the name Tish James, nor the name Donald Trump.

If you cannot say Trump’s name today—how will you stand up to him tomorrow?
