Tariffs.
Stock market down.
Medicaid slashed
Secret police throwing anyone who looks Latino in unmarked vans.
National guard and marines deployed in LA.
No end to the wars in Gaza or Ukraine
Bombing Iran
This is the worst first six months of any presidential term in my lifetime.

Did Trump’s FBI just arrest a sitting U.S. Senator—at a Kristi Noem press conference?
🚨 BREAKING: MSNBC is reporting California Senator Alex Padilla was shoved from the press conference and handcuffed.
This isn’t okay. Everyone should be alarmed by this!

This is an excellent piece and there is also a gift article of the NY Times piece he refers to. Take the time to read and share and then be a part of democracy and participate when possible.
Experts on democracy say in just 4 months, Trump/GOP have transformed the U.S. into what is known as "competitive authoritarianism.” In my new article I explain what that means and what experts tell us we need to do NOW to reverse this: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/author-of-...

ICE dragged a mother from her home in Massachusetts—clinging to her baby—without showing a warrant or ID.
When neighbors demanded proof, ICE sneered, “We don’t have to show you anything.”
That’s not law enforcement. That’s state-sponsored kidnapping.
This is fascism & it’s terrifying.

Cinco de Mayo is a battle cry to stand up to empires of oppression — like Donald Trump’s (Opinion)
When people hear Cinco de Mayo, they picture margaritas and mariachi bands. But for me, a Black gay man, descended from enslaved Africans Cinco de Mayo isn’t a party. It’s a battle cry.

NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler had a local social worker physically dragged out of his town hall Sunday night.
Emily Feiner was singled out by private security, lifted out of her seat, as the crowd chanted “let her stay” and “shame, shame.”
She’s a constituent.
Not a threat.

This surprised nobody.
Trump’s remark on May 4 about not knowing whether he needs to “uphold the Constitution” comes just a little more than 100 days after he swore an oath to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." That’s saying the quiet part out loud.
