Or, people could be as eliminated as they started becoming in the 1950s and stop being actively racist. I don't guess a white male has had as much experience with that, so perhaps Johnson isn't the correct person to advise Jeffries on this issue.

The truth is from my perspective as a former first responder to disasters and terroristic events, that Trump just lacks the capacity to care about other humans or he just lacked the understanding to grasp the importance of emergency management and Public Health protocols.

Congresswoman Sydney Kamlager-Dove @kamlager-dove.house.gov · Sep 1

Yet again, Trump has punished people for telling the truth.

Trump suspended FEMA workers who warned of the devastation that his cuts to federal disaster response & mitigation efforts will cause.

I stand with our brave FEMA workers fighting to keep us prepared & protected.

Breaking News: FEMA suspended about 30 employees who had told Congress that the Trump administration had gutted the nation’s emergency preparedness.

#NoKings
Peaceful protest to the government to redress our grievances as we have a right to do as set forth in the Constitution.

A meme saying peaceful powerful protest. No Kings!

A very long list of the ways activism takes many forms including during the emotional spiritual and Care work that holds us together. Do what you can. Resist tyranny.

When the crops rot in the fields unpicked and there's another "needlessly induced Trump supply chain shortage," people will go hungry, and possibly have even more dire outcomes.

Remarkable: Vulnerable House Republicans are quietly urging Trump to refocus deportations away from noncriminal migrants and only target criminals.

With Trump admitted deportations hurt farmers, Rs know this is becoming a big problem for them. 1/

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has confirmed what we already know — the Republican budget will hurt working families while it helps the rich get even richer.

We need a budget that works for ALL Americans, not just Trump's billionaire donors.

"This is what Republicans do—pay for massive tax breaks for billionaires by going after programs families rely on the most: Medicaid, food assistance, and now Medicare."

The Congressional Republicans' Big Budget of BS is morally failing Women, Children, and Families.

Cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and Planned Parenthood for billionaires' tax cuts punish hardworking Americans.

Fight Back! Petition Congress against these cuts now.

Remember when Republicans said Trump’s Tax Scam wouldn’t touch Medicare?

They were lying.

Trump and GOP’s tax bill would force cuts to Medicare, CBO says

Some $500 billion in cuts to Medicare could be avoided if Congress instructs the White House budget office to disregard the reconciliation package’s debt impact.

Senate Republicans just pushed through Mr. Slash-and-Burn Frank Bisignano to be Trump’s head of Social Security.

Every single Senate Democrat voted no.

Make no mistake:

Senate Republicans own the cuts and chaos at Social Security.

And people wondered why so many conversant with the position thought she wasn't up to it, or would be a danger to the country. In a situation like that, giving people the benefit of the doubt is putting 350 million at risk. And now we see. Can it be fixed? Will it?
