Posting this from months ago because we DO have homegrown experience with autocratic regimes in this country.
In nearly half this country during the first 6 decades of the 20th century Black people lived under systems of cruelty, voter suppression, hate, state violence & corruption. Ask them!

This news truly breaks my heart.
We are calling on HHS to take immediate action. Secretary Kennedy needs to bring back weekly measles tracking from the CDC, rehire the health experts, and roll out a serious vaccine campaign. Our kids' safety is on the line!

Tucked into a "recovery" bill for Western NC, Republicans in the state legislature are using the last days of their lame-duck supermajority to try passing some pretty crazy stuff that has nothing at all to do with Helene recovery.

Elon Musk just called the COVID-19 pandemic that killed at least 1.4 million Americans a “scamdemic.”
My dad died during the pandemic; we weren't able to visit him in the hospital because of it. Every aspect of that horrible tragedy was real. And exacerbated by Musk’s co-POTUS.
I’m seeing red. 😡

By my count, there's four members of the incoming Trump administration accused of rape or sexual assault - Trump himself, Peter Hegseth, Matt Gaetz, and RFK Jr (all of whom, with the exception of RFK Jr. have denied the allegations against them).
